The present invention discloses a method for increasing the work performance of a manufacturing executing system (MES) and an enterprise resource planning system (ERP), said method comprising the steps of:a) providing the enterprise resource planning system being enabled for planning the business resources of a production plant and for releasing production orders to the manufacturing execution system;b) providing the manufacturing execution system being enabled to control and to execute a production process on the production plant according to the production orders,c) creating an operation schedule by the enterprise resource planning system; said operation schedule representing a production workflow of the production process;d) creating a number of operation definitions; each operating definition comprising a catalogue of pre-defined respective work orders;e) downloading the operation schedule by the enterprise resource planning system thereby creating a set of corresponding work orders being executable by the manufacturing execution system; said creation being achieved by extracting at least one of the pre-defined work orders relevant to the operation schedule from the catalogues;f) updating the quantities for the production process in the extracted work orders by the manufacturing execution system;g) executing the updated work orders under the control of the manufacturing execution system; andh) preparing operation performance data on the executed work orders by the manufacturing execution system, andi) calculate the process operation performance by the enterprise resource planning system (ERP).
