The Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Fundamentals Training Course by Imperial Corporate Training Institute is designed to provide a comprehensive and practical understanding of how MES supports modern manufacturing operations. This course explores how MES functions as the critical link between enterprise-level systems and shop floor activities, enabling organisations to achieve accurate production tracking, improved coordination, and enhanced operational visibility. Participants will gain a structured understanding of MES architecture, core functionalities, and the role of MES in integrating people, processes, and technology across manufacturing environments.
Throughout this manufacturing training course, learners will explore how MES enables real-time monitoring of production activities, supports data-driven decision-making, and improves shop floor integration. The course focuses on practical concepts, industry-aligned frameworks, and real-world manufacturing scenarios to help participants understand how MES contributes to efficiency, quality, compliance, and performance management. By the end of the programme, participants will be able to interpret MES data, understand system workflows, and communicate effectively with technical and operational teams involved in MES implementation and usage.
