MIPS: Mill Information and Production System

What It Is

A Level 3 Manufacturing Execution System (MES) designed specifically for hot and cold steel mills, MIPS supports the entire steel production process, from Order Entry to Shipping, and serves as an information conduit between mill operations and enterprise business systems. Developed as a series of modules, MIPS provides the functionality and flexibility needed to maximize output, quality, and cost control.

Why You Need It

MIPS software enables users to make a quantum leap forward in their ability to control the manufacturing process and identify non-productive procedures and expenditures. MIPS also allows users to collect and analyze data critical to both short- and long-term strategic planning.

MIPS improves management of the manufacturing process at all these levels:

• Planning, Reporting, Analysis, and Decision Making
• Sales Order Management
• Daily Production Management
• Cost Management
• Inventory Control and Management
• Shipping Management
• Efficiency and Productivity Control
• Invoicing
• Cash Application
• Claims Management
• Customer Service
• Outside Processing Management

Technology Considerations

Based on client-server technology, MIPS operates under Unix or Windows, using an Oracle database for high performance and reliability. The MIPS development environment is database and client independent and can be fully integrated with Level 2 and ERP systems.
