Definition
MES are at the heart of CIM. The simplest model
of CIM has MES as the middle ground between
ERP systems and individual machine and
automation controls
ERP systems handle financial functions, customer
orders and send production requests to the factory
floor. MES provide overall control and
management of the factory floor, and provide
updated information the ERP. (Semiconductor
International 1997)
