EXECUTION Control
The execution control is based on manufacturing lots created with the help of production planning features. When planned manufacturing lot is ready for manufacturing, it is moved to the last position of the manufacturing queue. MesPal execution system automatically moves the first manufacturing lot in queue into the production. When manufacturing of the lot has been finished, the lot will be moved from the manufacturing queue to the list of finished manufacturing lots. After that the next manufacturing lot in the queue will be set into the production.
