Answer of COMPAS:
COMES system allows you to make partial use of it by adding functions in a puzzle-like manner. It brings the user an fast economic benefit by incorporating the selected function or module and shows the way how to implement MES function for operational planning and production management without any lengthy analysis.
Note: The implementation of COMES modules and in praxis proven COMES concepts, applications and functions with integrated process know-how brings about both the instantaneous benefits arising from the optimization of plant’s processes and savings on costs spent on preparation works and IT analyses, which is in many cases economically advantageous. No matter how much the preparation and analyses are recommended by the IT experts, the IT/MES systems are usually less complicated than ERP systems. MES functions are often put into effect only as partial ones that deliver value to the user and therefore these functions may well be implemented without extensive analysis.
