MESA Smart Manufacturing Community: Manufacturing Operations Software - When Do You Retire Your Legacy MES and How Do You Justify a New One?

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: When Do You Retire Your Legacy MES and How Do You Justify a New One?

The business value of your original MES was well established, but how do you justify replacement?

• How do you determine when your ‘good enough’ MES is not good enough?
• How do you assess/monetize the risk involved in delaying replacement?
• What external factors do you use in your justification?
• How do you uncover and articulate new savings and benefits beyond the initial MES investment?
• How do you determine whether MES is still a need based on the availability/maturity of other advanced technologies?

Join us to discuss this and your system upgrade challenges in these uncertain times.
