| - A Process Development Execution System (PDES) is a system, which is used by companies to perform development activities for high-tech manufacturing processes. A PDES is similar to a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in several aspects. The central distinguishing factor is that PDESs are tailored for steering the development of a manufacturing process while MES are tailored for executing the volume production using the developed process. Therefore the focus and the toolset of a PDES is more on lower volume but higher flexibility and experimentation freedom. The tools of a MES are more focused on less variance, higher volumes, tighter control, and logistics. Both types of application software have in common that they increase traceability, productivity, and quality (for PDES the quality of the developed manufacturing process in contrast to the quality of the manufactured good (economics and accounting)/commodity for MES). Additionally both software types share functions including equipment tracking, product genealogy, labor and item tracking, costing, electronic signature capture, defect and resolution monitoring, Executive Dashboards, and other various reporting solutions. PDES have many parts and can be deployed on various scales. From simple Work in Progress tracking to a complex solution integrated throughout an enterprise development infrastructure. The later are touching other enterprise systems like Enterprise Resource and Planning Systems (ERPs), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MESs), Product Lifecycle Management (PLMs), Supervisory, Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) solutions and Scheduling and Planning Systems (both long-term and short-term tactical).
