This article presents a study carried out in a plastic injection sector in a household appliance company. It aims to map of implementing the MES system and how the insertion of this technology favors production management, creating a remote control of production and facility for generating performance reports, aiming at increasing performance, reducing costs and reducing lead times. This work also compares the current data collection model (ERP and spreadsheets) with the MES system, as well as the gains in the production process, in addition to budgets, deadlines and matrix for decision making. The information used to support the implementation study was collected through a theoretical framework, studies carried out by the multifunctional team responsible for the project, in addition to visits and budgets with possible information system suppliers and presented consistent results for the implementation of the project in the organization.
