The execution layer between your ERP and your plant floor. Production Orders released with intent, work centers loaded honestly, operations confirmed as they run, quality checked at the floor — and every loss recorded in the Six Big Losses vocabulary, so OEE is a fact, not a feeling. The full Improvement toolset is built in. Digital workers propose. Humans decide.
$1,999/month. No reasonably priced MES existed for the lower middle market. This is it. It also runs as a special surface in Max Business System Max Learning and Training.
An MES earns its keep in the gap between what the plan said and what the floor did. This one closes that gap in six working views, each reading the same records as your ERP — because it is built on it.
Max Improvement was replaced by the Max Manufacturing Execution System — and its tools live here, in the name and in the app. The working loop is sense, decide, act, measure, learn: the floor senses, the record decides with you, the team acts, OEE measures, and the knowledge base learns. The teaching library built for the MEP network — the courses, the knowledge checks, the plant-floor curriculum used by instructors and students — is part of the app, so your supervisors learn the system in the system.
Checks happen where the work happens, reading the same lot register as Max Quality and VSM Tools — one quality record for the whole plant, never a second list.
What ran, where, by whom, with what result — the as-built history of every order, kept as it happened and queryable forever.
The board the whole floor can see: what is running, what is held, what is late — while there is still time in the shift to do something about it.
Load, losses, and quality become same-day facts. The conversation moves from what happened last month to what happens this shift.
The established MES vendors do not publish prices for a reason. This one is $1,999 a month, unlimited seats, on the ERP you already run.
The teaching library and the knowledge loop turn what your best people know into how the whole floor works.
Unlimited seats. Also included as a special surface in Max Business System Max Learning and Training for owners who run the whole company on the platform.
