Manufacturing Execution System Features
These comprehensive RFP criteria for MES software ensure that NO important business requirements orsoftware features"slip through the cracks". All are in a quantitative format that guarantees vendor responses will be meaningful, consistent, and easy to compare. All questions are professionally prepared by application specialists to address BOTH the STANDARD features and EXCEPTION CASE software functions required.
Monthly MES system update reviews help insure that Advanced, State-of-the-Art Emerging system capabilities are adressed! Makes selecting MES software much more reliable!
Scorecard
This RFP for MES software is set up to identify BOTH the availability of a software function and HOW it will be delivered. The many ways software functions can be delivered, and the amount of RISK involved with each, makes this very important. Vendors must answer in one of the following ways:
FS (Yes, Full Support out of the box)
CO (Yes, using a Configuration Option)
RT (Yes, using a Reporting Tool)
3P (Yes, using Third Party product)
PE (Yes, a Paid Enhancement)
FE (Yes, a FREE Enhancement)
NS (No - Not Support)
This allows the reliability and on-going support cost risk of competing MES systems to be compared. Use an extensive set of CUSTOMIZABLE Weighted Grade Scoring calculations to evaluate the suitability of vendor proposals to your specific prioritized needs quickly and efficiently.
Manufacturing Execution Software Feature Availability and Delivery Methods
Unlike other MES system RFPs that try (and fail) to gather useful solutions data about complex MES software features, RFP Masters are not constrained to the use of summary-level "Yes" or "No" answers. This RFP Master ™ uses a Feature Support Matrix ™ (FSM) that identify BOTH feature AVAILABILITY and DELIVERY Method. This RFP Master function is useful during both the MES software selection AND the system implementation phases of large projects because it enables effective Earned Value Management through detailed cross-referencing of usable software functionality and vendor invoicing. Choose MES system software more effectively!
Manufacturing Execution Software Solutions
Unlike other MES software RFPs, an RFP Master can illustrate potential support problems (and risk) inherent in vendor MES software proposals. The Feature Support Matrix ™ (FSM) used in each RFP Master ™ categorizes the inherent risk posed for each criteria, and uses that information to calculate the support ability INDEX ™ for each vendor RFP response. For sample, a feature delivered "out of the box" FULLY SUPPORTED is less risky than one delivered through custom programming, even if the programming is free. This RFP Master function is useful during both the MES selection AND the implementation phases of a large MES system because it enables effective Earned Value Management through detailed cross-referencing of usable software functionality and vendor invoicing.
Effectively Manage Implementation
Enhancement Cost Tracker
This RFP template provides an "Enhancement Cost" column for cross-referencing vendor invoices with the estimated cost of each custom custom script and/or source code modification proposed by the vendor. This makes this MES RFP an ideal tool for managing vendor invoices effectively. The uses of this are many: preventing payments to vendors from exceeding usable system progress, preventing vendor over-billing, and prevents proposed tasks from being omitted, and as an implementation audit tool.
Workflow Processing Capabilities
The ability of the proposed MES software system to successfully integrate with existng business process workflows, or implement new workflows, is critical to a achieving the high productivity increases and ROI expected of the new MES system. This MES software RFP Master examines all pertinent Workflow features in detail.
Vendor Response Abilities
Vendors must answer each MES RFP question by choosing from a pre-defined list of possible responses. See below for an sample of this drop-down list. This forces all vendors to respond to each MES software question in a consistent, standard manner. Eliminates the days of time typically wasted trying to compare the inconsistent or incomplete vendor responses obtained by using traditional, non-quantitative RFP questions! Ensures vendor MES software proposals are easy to compare and evaluate!
Manufacturing Execution Comparison
These MES comparison matrices automatically change vendor response cell background color to GREEN, YELLOW, or RED, to reflect how favorable each response is to your needs! Compared to the tedious task of reviewing thousands of mono-color Yes/No answers, these colored responses allow problem areas to be spotted more easily, and risk assessment is made much more accurate. All required MES comparison matrices are included and ready-to-use! Quickly and easily compare MES system proposals side-by-side, feature by feature, in detailed comparisons you control! Keep your MES software project on-schedule and under-budget.
Evaluation Ratios
Use an extensive set of ratio calculations to compare MES vendor proposals quickly and efficiently. This help infore a more accurate MES software choice!
Evaluation Ratios Side-by-Side Comparison
This scorecard uses an extensive set of ratio calculations to compare vendor proposals quickly and efficiently. High RFP scores can be lifted by a large number of customization or 3rd party scores. Due to this, it is important to see HOW each proposed system has been set up to perform key processes. This could insure a very complete MES system choice!

Weighted Grade Score Graph (4 more reports follow)
Compares the Weighted Grade Point Score calculated for each proposed MES system. This is calculated as follows: The MES software vendor response to each RFP question is assigned an unweighted "raw" score. This raw score is then multiplied by the weight factor you entered previously (default = 1) for that MES system RFP question to calculate the weighted score for each response. All of these individual scores are then totaled for use in this comparison. This score is essentially a measure of how well a MES software system fits your business and software needs, prioritized by the weight (importance level) you assigned to each question in the RFP. In essence, this score measures the SUITABILITY of each proposed MES software system to your overall requirements. NOTE this score measures just software functionality, and does not include any measure of vendor background, expertise, support, or programming ability.
Feature Delivery Method Comparison:
An analysis of how each MES vendor is proposing to deliver the system feature/function contained in their MES software system proposal. The graph below shows the percentage that is Fully Supported "out-of-the-box", the percentage to be done via Report Writer, a Configuration Parameter, or Third-Party add-in, versus the percentage to be done via Custom Coding (Scripting / Programming). This information is very useful in terms of identifying RISK, since a Fully Supported (and tested) MES feature presents far less risk than that same MES feature done as a "custom programming" task.This is very useful in any MES system selection effort. Also, see the support ability Index, which sums up these detail risk factors.
Manufacturing Execution support ability Index Graph:
The support ability Index is a forecast of how much MES software support and maintenance may be required to keep each proposed software system running at full potential over it's lifetime. This score is determined by how much custom coding is required to implement the proposed MES software, and which business processes depend on the customized software.
Overall Comparison Graph:
This graph compares the Weighted Grade (Suitability) Score, support ability Index, and the Vendor Capabilities Profile side-by-side for easy reference. It is important to see how much custom coding is in a proposed MES system that also has a high Weighted Score, along with the Vendor Profile. The more custom code, the higher the risk posed by that MES system. Therefore, the more custom coding, the more expertise and capabilities a vendor should have. This is very helpful in all MES software selection processes.
Vendor Capability Rating
The backgrounds, expertise, capabilities, and certifications of each vendor is obtained in the Vendor Global Issues section of the MES RFP. The MES vendor responses to this section are totaled separately from the software functionality topics, and this data is used to calculate the "Vendor Profile Score". The higher the score, the more CAPABILITIES a vendor is probably going to be able to provide.
