Line 1:
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 Systems]] (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 (business)|quality]] of the delivered result. For PDESs quality refers to the [[robustness]]{{dn}} 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 (business)|product]] genealogy, labour and item tracking, costing, [[electronic signature]] capture, [[defect]] and resolution monitoring, [[Executive Dashboard]]s, and other various reporting solutions. Other rather similar software categories are [[Production Information Management System]] (PIMS), [[LIMS|Laboratory Information Management Systems]] (LIMS) and [[Laboratory information system]] (LIS). PDESs’ offer a wider set of functionalities e.g. virtual manufacturing techniques, while they are typically not integrated with the equipment in the laboratory.
PDESs have many parts and can be deployed on various scales - from simple [[Work in Progress]] tracking, to a complex solution integrated throughout an enterprise development infrastructure. The latter conncets with other enterprise systems like [[Enterprise resource planning|Enterprise Resource and Planning System]]s (ERPs), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MESs), [[Product Lifecycle Management]] (PLM), [[SCADA|Supervisory, Control and Data Acquisition]] (SCADA) solutions and [[Automated planning and scheduling|Scheduling and Planning System]]s (both long-term and short-term tactical).

During and after processing a lot of measurements are taken. The results of these measurements are often produced in the form of files such as images or simple text files containing rows and columns of data. The PDES is able to manage these files, to link related results together, and to manage different versions of certain files, for example reports. Paired with flexible text, and graphical retrieval and search methods, a PDES provides the mechanism to view and assess the accumulated data, information and knowledge from different perspectives. It provides insight into both the information aspects as well as the time aspects of previous developments.
Increasingly development activities within industry are a collaborative effort. This leads to the need to exchange the information between the partners or to transfer process [[intellectual property]] from a vendor to a customer. PDESs' support this transfer while being selective to protect the IPR of the company.
