MES & Process Minds 2014

KEY ISSUES

Sustainable strategies to improve efficiency and productivity through the implementation of smart manufacturing execution system

- Infrastructure for a global MES roll-out
- Needs analysis, individual use potential and selection of appropriate systems
- MES as an information system to business value
- Optimization of production processes
- More efficient processes in the areas of development, design, manufacture and service for tight cropping of the product
- IT initiatives in the production and manufacturing Level: Short-term increase in the profit margin or long-term benefit for the entire company?

MES as a sustainable method for process optimization

- Optimization of logistics: transparency and optimization
- MES as an important factor for improvement of the extended supply chain
- MES in warehouse and inventory management: Benefits and Challenges
- Keyword "time to market": What are the potential for optimization
- Product Tracking
- Shortening of cycle times (Cycle Time Reduction) and the efficient production
- Agile Manufacturing: How can operate flexibly and time-oriented systems in order to increase production?
