Program Overview: What is MES and Manufacturing Operations Management Corporate Training?
MES & Manufacturing Operations Management is a 16-hour corporate training program for manufacturing IT teams, operations managers, and plant engineers. It covers MES and MOM foundations, ISA-95 models for manufacturing IT, production execution and scheduling, quality and traceability, and integration with ERP, PLC/SCADA, and IIoT. Learners finish by presenting a complete MES deployment roadmap.
The program runs as six instructor-led modules with hands-on sandbox labs. Learners assess their baseline MES maturity, model their own plant in ISA-95, run a production shift in the MES sandbox by dispatching orders and scheduling lines, build a full traceability chain from raw material to finished goods, and connect a simulated line via OPC UA and MQTT with ERP order exchange. Instructors coach each exercise. The capstone has teams present an MES deployment roadmap with vendor criteria and a phased rollout.
Plants that run on paper, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems lose visibility the moment something goes wrong. This program teaches teams to model, execute, and integrate manufacturing operations on a modern MES stack. The payoff is real-time control of production, traceability on demand, and data that drives improvement.
The capstone leaves each team with a complete MES deployment roadmap: maturity assessment, ISA-95 model, execution and traceability designs, integration architecture, vendor criteria, phased rollout, and an adoption plan, presented for instructor critique. Teams return with a practical plan they can take to plant leadership, so MES moves from an IT aspiration to a funded, sequenced program.
Across six modules, your teams move from MES foundations to a deployment capstone. Sessions use real-world use cases, live-like lab environments, and ISA-95 scenarios, so every framework transfers directly to your plants.
Delivered as a hybrid instructor-led program, it fits around your calendar, with scheduling set along with you, and content tailored to your lines and systems.

Practice use cases
- Traceability builds
- Quality workflows
- Recall readiness
Each cohort works through role-relevant hands-on labs, then leaves with an MES deployment plan for day-to-day operations.
Prerequisites: This program suits manufacturing IT and operations professionals: familiarity with plant operations or enterprise systems helps, but no prior MES experience is needed. What helps most is involvement in shop-floor processes, automation, or manufacturing IT projects. Content adapts to each cohort's lines and systems, so IT and operations teams learn side by side.
Manufacturing IT Analyst to MES Deployment Leader
The program takes teams from MES foundations to deployment leadership: foundation ISA-95 concepts, intermediate execution and integration work, then advanced deployment planning and a rollout capstone.
Teams grow from MES basics to owning shop-floor execution as the modules progress.

Connect Manufacturing Execution, Traceability, and Integration Into an MES Roadmap
Edstellar helps manufacturing teams connect plant operations with the information structures and workflows behind MES. Participants model production in ISA-95, execute sandbox orders, and build traceability and integration scenarios. These exercises inform a deployment roadmap, reviewed for operational fit, clear system responsibilities, and justified rollout and adoption choices.
- Step 01
Consult
We examine shop-floor responsibilities, current production data flows, and enterprise-system familiarity to identify gaps in MES execution, traceability, and integration planning.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish MES and ISA-95 foundations before sandbox execution, quality and genealogy, and ERP-to-shop-floor integration, then develop the selection and deployment roadmap.
- Step 03
Align
We align manufacturing IT and operations expertise with the cohort's plant processes, automation experience, and enterprise-system roles, supporting participants who are new to MES.
- Step 04
Customize
Simulated lines, production orders, and material genealogy reflect familiar manufacturing processes, enabling relevant OPC UA, MQTT, and ERP exchange exercises without changing plant systems.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants dispatch sandbox orders, build quality-linked traceability chains, and connect simulated data flows, receiving feedback on production definitions, information handoffs, and integration consistency.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We review the deployment roadmap alongside lab evidence for operationally grounded vendor criteria, coherent system boundaries, traceable production data, and justified rollout and adoption priorities.
