MES Web Portal Operations

You can enter transactional data to the system through the various pages of the MES Web Portal. Depending on your privileges and line access permissions, you can create work orders, transact against the work orders and jobs within the work order, view line and entity status, enter and modify downtime events, and complete jobs.

A typical workflow, which could involve more than one user, is:

1. Create a work order on a line. (If the work order comes from an external system such as an ERP, the work order can be assigned to a line.)

2. Move a work order from one line to another line if, for example, an equipment failure occurs or work priority has changed.

3. Start a work order and/or the jobs within the work order.

4. Add and/or reduce production for a job running on an entity.

5. Add, split, or modify equipment downtime events on an entity.

6. Complete a job running on an entity.
