The disclosure describes a system for executing schedules in a manufacturing execution system (MES). In some embodiments, the system is configured to enable multiple shift patterns to be entered for a single entity. In some embodiments, the system is configured to prioritize the shift patterns based on an execution time. In some embodiments, the system includes one or more of a schedule pattern table, a schedule template, and an entity table, which are linked to each other to define parameters of one or more schedules. In some embodiments, the system is configured to automatically assign a time zone the time entered that matches the time zone where the entity associated with the schedule is located.

Shift configurations for manufacturing execution systems

A manufacturing execution system (MES) for providing an indication of the performance of the line. The MES includes a configuration module for modeling entities and lines containing the entities. The MES also includes a runtime module configured to determine the entities on the line whose production can be extrapolated to evaluate the performance of the line. In some cases, the MES determines which of the entities on the line limits the performance of the line; in other cases, the MES determines which of the entities has a production amount that best represents that of the line. The MES is operatively connected to field inputs associated with the entities that provide production data for the entities. Using the production data for the entities chosen to represent the line, the MES generates production metrics representative of the performance of the line and displays them to MES users.
