MESA Smart Manufacturing Community: Smart Connected Supply Chain-Managing Data and Operations at all Levels for Agile Supply Chain Response

MESA Smart Manufacturing Community: Smart Connected Supply Chain-Managing Data and Operations at all Levels for Agile Supply Chain Response

Wednesday, September 28, 2022 (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM) (EDT)

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: Managing Data and Operations at all Levels for Agile Supply Chain Response

Clearly, disruption is the norm for manufacturers and their supply chains today. Companies are automating, shifting to new suppliers, in some cases near-shoring, and so much more.

  • Operations are in a constant churn with supply chain change and disruption – so how to keep those at least somewhat efficient and still agile?
  • How can a manufacturer manage the data at every level efficiently and effectively –strategy, planning, procurement, scheduling, execution, logistics, warehousing?
  • What are the special nuances of master data management (MDM) for a supply chain?
  • What role does data from automation such as robots, drones, conveyors, cold chain sensors, and other IIoT-equipped equipment play? What can manage that vast quantity of distributed data?
  • Do the strategic supplier categories apply to their data, or is there a need for separate data prioritization
  • What data security, resiliency, and governance practices are proving effective yet enabling agility?

Join this discussion to explore operational agility and IT to support those needs in supply chain operations. Whether you have questions, answers, challenges, or success stories, we want to hear them!
