- What Is MOM?
MOM, or Manufacturing Operations Management, is the wider umbrella that includes MES and orchestrates production, quality, maintenance, and inventory under one layer.
- What Is MES?
MES captures real-time production data — cycle time, downtime, and scrap — from work order start to finish on the shop floor. The concrete difference from ERP.

- Digital Transformation Challenges in Customer-Specific Production
Digital transformation in customer-specific production cannot rely on fixed infrastructure. As Fabrika Yazılım | fab.limited, I explain how we tackle this challenge with infab.cloud.
- A Reverse Look at Work Orders
A work order should start as a draft, become a target, and only then be finalized. Here is why looking at it backwards — from the floor — is the right approach, and what demanding perfection at the start costs.
- Metrics to Track in Partial Production
The right signals change by operation; one-size-fits-all systems fail. Beyond done/not-done, operation count tracking produces tighter forecasts. Using welding weight and kg/h as examples, we show how investment decisions become evidence-based.
