Parametrics involves the ability to adjust based on parameters. The dictionary definition of a parametric equation implies that such parameters are based on coordinates. For a project-based manufacturer using a manufacturing execution system (MES), those coordinates take on great importance.

“MES technology solutions should include parametrics which go far beyond using parameters only to represent coordinates,” according to Randy Richel, CEO of TRAKware (www.trakware.com), an MES provider. “Coordinates should have the capacity to dynamically adjust bills of materials, bills of labor, routings, costs, selling prices, and sizes.”

Few MES solutions have an advanced parametric configurator that allows users to build parts and products that have full parametric capabilities. And yet, to increase lean productivity and profitability, complex parts and products with unlimited variations must be represented by a single item.

In the current issue of Managing Automation, leading manufacturing journalist TR Cutler profiles MES for Project based manufacturers. The article may be read at its entirety at http://www.managingautomation.com/maonline/exclusive/read/MES_for_ProjectBased_Manufacturers_17760257.
