Worksheet

ERP and MES scope comparison grid

Functions run down the left side of a single sheet: quoting, purchasing, routings, work orders, booking, downtime, inspection, scrap, costing and invoicing. Three columns follow: needed now, needed in a year, and which system owns it. Beneath the grid, a strip lists the handoff fields agreed between planning and the shop floor, such as work order number, operation, due date and actual hours.

Name: ______________________   Business: ______________________   Date: ______________

Scroll the table sideways to see every column.

Cross out or rewrite any heading that does not fit your business. From the guide “ERP vs MES for a Machine Shop: Which Comes First”, www.gullysystem.com/blog/erp-vs-mes-for-a-machine-shop-which-comes-first
