Requirements of manufacturing execution systems (MES) used for complex production processes are discussed in this paper. MES connect enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) with the machine control sys-tems on the shop-floor. After a definition of the term MES we describe MES functionality following the MESA specification. Then we develop a requirement specification for MES applied to complex manufacturing processes.
