MES & ERP Integration Readiness Audit

Interactive readiness audit to assess configuration, master data, process alignment, operator flows, and integration points before MES rollouts. Collect structured observations, scores, and recommended next steps to make rollout decisions evidence-based and repeatable.

MES & ERP Integration Readiness Audit

Purpose

This audit helps teams assess readiness for MES rollout and MES/ERP integration. Use structured ratings and findings to highlight high-risk areas, capture ownership, and produce a prioritized set of next steps. Be specific: cite sample records, interfaces, screens, and scenarios so remediation work is actionable.

Name of the MES rollout, plant, or production line being assessed.
YYYY-MM-DD (or free-text).
Person completing this audit.
Rate how ready master data is for integration: completeness, consistent identifiers, and reconciled masters. 1 = Poor, 5 = Excellent.
1.0 10.0
List specific mismatches or samples (e.g., SKU IDs, units, site codes) and where they are stored.
Rate how closely BOMs, routings, and process steps in ERP match planned MES process flows.
1.0 10.0
Note mismatches, missing routings, alternate BOMs, or deviations that need reconciliation.
Rate how well control tags, sensors, and events are documented and mappable between systems.
1.0 10.0
List high-priority tags, missing event definitions, or unclear owners.
Rate operator screens, HMI flows, and digital work instruction readiness for MES-driven interaction.
1.0 10.0
Capture operator feedback, missing HMI states, or workarounds that must be designed into the MES.
Rate whether exception cases are defined (hold, rework, override rules) and linked to ERP/quality processes.
1.0 10.0
Describe common exception scenarios and whether existing systems capture the required data.
A cutover plan should include step-by-step tasks, owners, data validation checks, and timing windows.
If a plan exists, summarize key steps. If not, list what must be created.
Clear rollback criteria reduce risk during cutover. Include what triggers rollback and how data is restored.
Document the rollback conditions, responsible roles, and estimated time to rollback.
Rate readiness of training materials, pilots, and operator engagement in design and testing.
1.0 10.0
List training gaps, pilot participants, and additional materials needed.
Rate whether clear owners, stewardship processes, and change controls exist for master and transactional data.
1.0 10.0
Note unresolved ownership, required data standards, or approval workflows.
List interfaces (ERP → MES, MES → ERP, LIMS, PLCs), protocols, and responsible teams/people.
Select compliance areas that may affect integration or data handling.
A single 0–100 readiness estimate synthesizing the above (team-provided). Useful for tracking over time.
Quick picklist to convert into remediation tickets or a pilot plan.
Overall priority to address findings.
Any additional recommendations, stakeholders to engage, or planned next steps.
