In the actual automotive industry context, in order to remain competitive on the market, all companies are constantly looking for solutions and tools to help increase productivity and improve the production process. The operational optimization through continuous improvement is the solution of this need. The paper describes how an injection process can be improved by implementing an MES- Manufacturing Execution System. This system provides visibility on process indicators, key data that reflect the operational performance. Through continuous monitoring and measurement of indicators, directions for continuous improvement can be addressed. MES Systems offer also a number of short and long-term benefits including reduced time, higher production volumes, improved yields, lower operating costs, increased compliance.
