A '''Process Development Execution System (PDES)''' is a [[system]] which is used by companies to perform development activities for [[high-tech]] [[manufacturing]] processes. A PDES is similar to a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in several ways. The key distinguishing factor of a PDES is that it is tailored for steering the development of a manufacturing process, while MES is tailored for executing the volume production using the developed process. Therefore, the toolset and focus of a PDES is on lower volume but higher flexibility and experimentation freedom. The tools of an MES are more focused on less variance, higher volumes, tighter control and logistics. Both types of [[application software]] increase [[traceability]], [[productivity]], and [[quality]] of the delivered result. For PDESs quality refers to the [[robustness]] of the developed manufacturing process. For MESs quality refers to the quality of the manufactured [[good (economics and accounting)]]/commodity. Additionally both software types share functions including [[equipment]] tracking, [[product]] genealogy, [[Work|labour]] and item tracking, [[cost]]ing, [[electronic signature]] capture, [[defect]] and resolution monitoring, [[Executive Dashboard]]s, and other various reporting solutions.
