MESA.ORG: All of these figures are merely some of the direct benefits of MES, and do not include any indirect.
With this in mind MESA International reports their most indelible fact, MES Software System ROI “Return On Investment/Payback Period (14 Months Average).” This is truly impressive because for the initial investment of an MES software system can be enormous depending on complexity and size.Source: Source: R.

MES Software System- Operational Improvements According to LNS Research:
- Output rose by 15% and First pass yield rose by a median of 14% from MES Software System
- Many companies had better improvement in first pass yield with a third quarter of over 50%.
- Net profit margin increased by 5%
- Revenue per employee increased by 7%
- Manufacturing cost per unit improved by 10%
Therefore, It is interesting to consider a correlation between this and the very high numbers we saw for participation in a variety of continuous improvement programs below.

60 + MES Software Facts – What is the data being used for from your MES?
Considering, when thinking outside the box when it comes to MES Software System, data usage is probably not high on the agenda of those focused on production improvement and better process management. Having looked at usage, we were interested in the “how” of Big Data Analytics. We asked, “From where does your company get or plan to get its analytics experience?” To our astonishment, 40% said that they have a strong analytics team that will not require much expansion. 
This goes directly in the face of perceived wisdom on the
subject; most pundits claim that the lack of data science skills will hold back some companies in their pursuit of iIoT and Big Data Analytics in manufacturing. MES Software can assist with this.
Moreover, when considering the results of the above question in the context of this one, it starts to come into focus that Big Data claims in manufacturing companies might be slightly ahead of the reality. Manufacturers already have advanced analytics in Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence (EMI) and Business Intelligence (BI), for which they probably have sufficient skills.
Interestingly, when it comes to Big Data, with unstructured information like video, climate, and image information, and when companies want to delve much deeper into their manufacturing and business data across supply chains, we suspect they will need new skills about which they know little today. Indeed, these new systems will hopefully answer questions about the business that we do not yet even know to ask. By looking at the type of data being used in analytics systems we can start to understand some of these issues. Most Big Data algorithms such as machine learning and sentiment analysis are still little used. This shows us that here is probably a gap of skills not necessarily recognized yet. Engineers and data
scientists have different views of what predictive analytics are; one is very model- and simulation-centric, while the other is data- and correlation-centric. Like the historical lack of trust between plant and IT technicians, Today there is distrust between the groups. A key to success in Big Data Analytics is to bring them together from a mathematical as well as cultural perspective. MES software System can help achieve this.
