Quality test execution is a logical part of a
MES
By Michael Schwarz,
Product Marketing Manager, MES/EMI, Invensys.
Quality management
is a functional domain which is typically and traditionally already covered
with significant investment in any enterprise. Quality Management Systems (QMS)
are present to a higher degree, in comparison with production or manufacturing
related systems like Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) or process
automation.
What do Quality
Management Systems do? They include managing a process according to target/specifications,
maintaining real-time quality documentation; coordinate and monitor
nonconformance recalls; and tie-in customer complaints to the manufacturing
process, all within the context of a manufacturing process.
