A methodology and toolset for implementing and maintaining MES systems.

Manufacturing companies need to continuously strive after standardisation of manufacturing processes and IT solutions, particularly in large-scale multi-site MES platform implementations. Effectively utilising MES allows business needs and targeted cost reductions to be identified and subsequently tracked through the lifecycle of the MES system. These business KPI's can, at any time and phase of the project, be compared to the latest cost estimates of IT modules required to achieve the anticipated cost reductions.

Methodology for MES (M4MES), the proprietary methodology of Atos Origin, is supporting manufacturing companies to effectively implement MES systems. It is a best-practice methodology, based on several recent implementations of MES systems by Atos Origin in various parts of the world and for various types of manufacturing companies. It has been tested extensively in large multi-site MES projects in both the US and Europe.
The practical implementation of M4MES at DSM Dyneema will be explored in this webinar. The M4MES toolset and benefits will be explained based on practical experiences.

Session learnings:
•MES projects are more and more large-scale multi-site platform implementations which require a structured approach to reach the targeted business goals

•Business needs and targeted benefits should drive MES projects in all its phases, not just during the initiation phases for acquiring the budget(s)

•Today's MES solutions are first and foremost enablers of manufacturing operations improvements, which is why MES projects cannot be treated as solely IT projects anymore

•M4MES is defined by AtosOrigin to effectively meet the needs and requirements of today's MES platform implementations
