“Innovative uses of IT stand to change plant-floor performance” was the headline broadcasted in Manufacturing Business Intelligence magazine’s September 2006 edition. Consultants and media alike are announcing similar messages. Boston-based Aberdeen Group’s recent report "Global Manufacturing: MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) and Beyond" which indicates that due to continuing pressure to decrease costs and improve competitiveness, manufacturers heavily invested in ERP systems with little investment in core manufacturing systems. The ERP – MES connection is the Growth Edge of opportunity for manufacturers looking to gain competitive position in the global marketplace.
So where does performance innovation lie? What returns are available? How are other manufacturers implementing these technologies? In response, our panel of market leaders will present their experiences in leveraging technology to advance manufacturing enterprise intelligence. Key areas for discussion will include:
• Gaps to fill from your ERP roll-out
• Options for connectivity without compromising requirements for out-of-box solutions
• Leveraging existing systems as a means for data enablement
• Enhance plant productivity, unit cost and profitability
This in-depth look at leveraging your ERP investment is intended for manufacturers – IT Directors and Managers, Plant Managers, Operations Directors/Managers, Quality Managers and Production Managers. It offers high-value insights with actual implementations where connectivity can increase competitiveness.
