Real-time Production Organizer (RPO) from Yokogawa Electric Corp.
RPO is a suite of manufacturing execution system (MES) platform
packages that integrate the vertical production execution workflow
across departments and empower decision makers to organize their work

and prompt operation, supporting execution monitoring and analysis for
identifying best practices. 4) Production Supervisor VP–Supervises real-time performance for
quick action by key performance indicator (KPI) monitoring. Web
components on a role-based dashboard support drill down analysis. 5) Production Tracker VP–Tracks high-resolution production
information for accurate planning and generates production accounting
reports.
Delivery of Production Instructor VP and Production Supervisor VP will commence in the
first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
