Description

Come share your experiences, stories, questions, and what you have learned in a safe, non-commercial environment. We seek to understand the state of the market, understand what companies have done that has or has not worked, documenting questions that MESA and the community can help answer. Overall, the goal is to accelerate each participant’s learning and progress toward Smart Manufacturing. 

Topic: Product Intelligence Among Enterprise Systems and Partners

While getting a product out from concept to end customer use has always been the goal for manufacturing companies, it requires quite a lot of software and multiple companies collaborating typically. 

• How are MESA members managing this complex set of information to ensure all relevant product information is shared appropriately and securely?
• What is the role of various software systems (PLM, ERP, MES, SCM, and more)?
• How do you ensure timely, thorough, yet secure communication across a broad set of partners: suppliers in many tiers, design and engineering partners, distributors, and customers? 
• What are all of the product-related artifacts that contribute to this product intelligence? BOMs, Recipes, Specifications, Design intent, Product models, process models, schedules, etc.,
• How are varied disciplines equipping themselves to collaborate and leverage intelligence from other parts of the organization, supply chain, and ecosystem?
