Manufacturing Operations Management Software

The complete manufacturing operations management software – unify production, quality, maintenance, OEE and traceability in one ISA-95 compliant platform. Trusted by 150+ plants worldwide, including Bahlsen, Danone and Novartis.

What is Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM)?

Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) is a software-driven approach that unifies production execution, quality control, maintenance, inventory and performance monitoring into one system. A MOM system gives plant managers a single source of truth across the entire shop floor – covering levels 2 and 3 of the ISA-95 automation pyramid – so they can plan, execute and improve operations in real time.

How can you benefit from Accevo MOM System?

Paperless operations

Eliminate 90-100% of paper forms on the shop floor, cutting documentation time by 60-80%.

Higher machine uptime

Detect and classify microstops automatically, typically reducing unplanned downtime by 15-25% in the first 12 months.

Faster changeovers

SMED with digital recipes and centerlining cuts average changeover time by 30-50%.

OEE lift

Accevo MOM customers typically see OEE improve by 5-15 percentage points within the first year.

MOM vs MES

MES controls production execution: what runs, where it runs, and when operators report progress. MOM covers the wider operations layer: production, quality, maintenance, traceability, inventory context, documentation, analytics and workforce processes.

Choose MES when you only need shop-floor execution. Choose Accevo MOM when you want one platform for production operations management across the plant.

MES

Production execution, dispatching, operator reporting and machine-state context.

MOM

MES plus quality, maintenance, traceability, documentation, OEE, analytics and plant-wide operations workflows.Production execution, dispatching, operator reporting and machine-state context.

Four domains managed in one MOM system

Production operations

Execute orders, guide operators, monitor OEE and keep work aligned with the current production plan.

Quality management

Run in-process inspections, manage deviations, use SPC and maintain product genealogy from materials to finished goods.

Maintenance

Trigger ANDON calls, coordinate maintenance work and use equipment data to reduce avoidable downtime.

Inventory and material flow

Validate materials, track lots and serial numbers, and request replenishment directly from the shop floor.

Disconnected production data

Use MOM when machine, operator, quality and planning data sit in separate tools or spreadsheets.

Paper-based workflows

Digitise instructions, inspections, batch records and approvals with controlled, traceable processes.

Limited cross-functional visibility

Give production, quality, maintenance and management teams one current view of factory performance.

Benefits and KPIs to track with MOM software

More reliable production performance

Faster operational decisions

Less manual reporting

How MOM system fits into ISA-95 Pyramid?

The ISA-95 Pyramid, also known as the ISA-95 standard, is a widely recognized model that defines the different levels of automation and information systems in a manufacturing operation. The pyramid has five levels, ranging from level 0 at the bottom to level 4 at the top. 

A MOM system fits into the 95 ISA Pyramid as a system that operates at level 3, which is the manufacturing operations level. At this level, the MOM system integrates with the control systems that operate at the lower levels of the pyramid (levels 0-2) and provides a bridge to the higher levels of the pyramid (level 4). 

At level 3, the MOM system manages the manufacturing operations by collecting data from the lower levels and using it to monitor and optimize the production process. The system provides tools for production planning, scheduling, and execution, as well as quality management, maintenance, and inventory control. It also collects data on production performance and provides real-time monitoring and reporting.

Manufacturing Operations Management FAQ

Manufacturing Operations Management is the coordinated management of production execution, quality, maintenance, inventory, traceability and performance. MOM software provides one operational layer between shop-floor control systems and enterprise applications.

MES focuses mainly on executing and tracking production orders. MOM is broader: it includes MES functions and connects them with quality management, maintenance, inventory, workforce processes and manufacturing analytics.

The four core domains are production operations, quality operations, maintenance operations, and inventory or material operations. A MOM system coordinates data and workflows across these areas.

MOM typically operates at ISA-95 level 3. It connects machines, PLCs and SCADA at levels 0-2 with ERP and business planning at level 4.

MOM software can integrate with ERP, SCADA, PLCs, QMS, LIMS, CMMS, warehouse systems, inspection equipment, data warehouses and BI tools. Accevo supports common industrial protocols and API-based exchange.

Common KPIs include OEE, throughput, downtime, MTBF, MTTR, scrap, first-pass yield, changeover time, plan versus actual, work in progress and on-time completion.

Yes. A manufacturer can start with a defined line, process or capability, validate the data and workflows, then extend the model across further lines, modules and plants.

A Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) system can lead an organisation towards operations excellence by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the manufacturing process. MOM systems provide a comprehensive solution for managing various aspects of the manufacturing process, including document management, historian reporting, scheduling/dispatching, asset tracking (traceability), and equipment health.

Document Management: MOM systems provide a centralised platform for document management, allowing manufacturers to manage and control critical production documents, such as work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and quality documents. By ensuring that the correct documents are available to the production teams at the right time, MOM systems help to minimise errors and improve compliance.

Historian Reporting: MOM systems provide real-time data collection and reporting capabilities, enabling manufacturers to track and analyse production data in real-time. The historian reporting functionality provides a comprehensive view of the manufacturing process, allowing managers to make informed decisions and quickly identify areas of improvement.

Scheduling/Dispatching: MOM systems provide tools for production planning, scheduling, and dispatching, ensuring that production runs smoothly and efficiently. By automating these processes, MOM systems help to minimise downtime, improve on-time delivery, and optimise production resources.

Asset Tracking (Traceability): MOM systems provide a complete solution for tracking and managing production assets, from raw materials to finished goods. By enabling manufacturers to track materials and finished goods throughout the production process, MOM systems help to improve traceability and quality control.

Equipment Health: MOM systems provide tools for monitoring and managing equipment health, enabling manufacturers to identify and address equipment issues before they result in downtime. By optimising equipment maintenance and reducing downtime, MOM systems help to improve production efficiency and reduce costs.
