What was in place
The documented plant used an internally developed WIP tracking system plus Excel-based recording that did not provide sufficient yield monitoring or defect-prevention analysis.
What they needed
Reason for the MES decision
Modernize production control, automate data collection, standardize production flows, and improve WIP traceability and quality and process control.

Integration and operational requirements
Quality
Quality and SPC, recipes, equipment selection, and process time-window control were documented capabilities required from the implementation.
Traceability and genealogy
Full WIP traceability was a documented objective.
