====== IDL MES ======

===== About =====

The IDL MES (Ideal Manufacturing Execution System) is a project made when I worked at [[about:cust:idl|IDL Industries]]. The system was designed to streamline the production process by centralizing project documentation, scheduling, and reporting into one system. This was a custom solution meant to replace the spreadsheet and ERP systems we had tried before. It is simpler and more dashboard oriented than the spreadsheet method. It also cuts out all of the unnecessary navigation and clutter of a full ERP system because it focuses only on the needs of manufacturing in the shop instead of trying to encapsulate the entire company.

This documentation is meant to provide information on requirements, design decisions, and deployment so that anyone with a little command line experience should be able to deploy an instance of the MES.

This project is based on a simple MVC PHP framework I built in my spare time to ease development of the MES project.

===== Requirements =====

  * present all information in a single page (dashboard style interface)
  * separate detail of information based on user role (ACL rules)
  * tool library matching contents of tooling crib
  * ability to assign tools to machines and track changes through user input
  * ability to track production progress through user input
  * job status pipeline with role based sign-off
  * scheduled and dynamic (production velocity based) project completion date
  * color coded warnings for slow production rate or missed schedule milestones
  * provide setup and print documentation attached to each job

===== Basic Structure =====

The shop interface provides an overview of active projects dynamically generated from the database. Each active project shows the scheduled dates, order quantity, current production status, current production percent, relevant shop floor documentation, and a buttons for entering time and production data.

The admin interface provides everything the shop interface does, but adds information for scrap rate, tooling consumption, and material consumption. The admin interface also has a menu for creating new projects, adding tool lists, updating the SKU list, adding operators, and adding machines.
