Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the MES challenges manufacturers run into most, and how ExpressMES helps you avoid them.
Why do MES implementations take so long and go over budget?
Most delays come from starting from scratch, unclear requirements, scope creep, and a shortage of experienced people. ExpressMES gives you a pre-built service package with pre-defined methodologies and recipe objects, delivered through an iterative deployment approach, so your team is not reinventing the wheel and the project moves faster at a lower cost.
How can we keep our MES project from suffering scope creep?
ExpressMES breaks the work into planned, iterative cycles: Project Planning, Project Design, Sprint Design, Author, Deploy, Go Live, and Evaluate. Each sprint has a defined scope and is reviewed before the next begins, which keeps priorities visible and stops the project from expanding unchecked.
We do not have enough internal resources to implement MES. What are our options?
A lack of implementation resources is one of the most common reasons MES projects stall. EIS provides an efficient resource model that combines on-site, on-shore, and off-shore personnel, so you can scale support up or down to match each phase of the project.
How do we choose the right MES for our facility?
Sub-optimal MES selection can lock you into years of workarounds. EIS has expertise with all major MES solutions and takes a vendor-independent approach, so our guidance is based on your manufacturing needs, not on selling a particular product.
Why is it so hard to roll out MES across multiple sites?
Each site often has its own processes, priorities, and documentation, which makes multi-site collaboration difficult. ExpressMES applies one proven methodology and reusable recipe objects across sites, giving you a consistent foundation that is easier to standardize and scale.
How do we get operators and stakeholders to adopt a new MES?
Poor change management and different priorities across the organization are major causes of low adoption. The iterative ExpressMES approach delivers working functionality in stages and builds in evaluation after each go-live, so users see progress early and their feedback shapes the next sprint.
Our MES implementation is already behind schedule. Can EIS still help?
Yes. Whether you are in pre-planning or already mid-implementation, EIS can step in with the ExpressMES framework, more than 30 years of MES experience, and a methodology built to avoid the common pitfalls that derail deployments.
We still rely on paper batch records. How do we move to electronic records?
ExpressMES is a proven, platform-agnostic service package designed to remove paper records through an iterative deployment methodology. Paired with EIS Authoring Engine, records can be authored rapidly and at low cost as you scale.
Will ExpressMES work with the MES vendor we have already selected?
Yes. ExpressMES is completely platform-agnostic and compatible with all MES vendors. Once your MES vendor is chosen, ExpressMES supercharges your implementation.
Who supports our MES after go-live?
EIS Valet provides à la carte services that manage all facets of the software lifecycle, including maintenance and ongoing support, so your system keeps delivering value long after launch.
