Plant is no longer "black box"

• Need for full vertical integration!– Production processes must be aligned with

the external supply chain in order to enable higher speed, better quality and more agility

• Need for full horizontal integration!– Logistics and manufacturing information– Financial and product(ion) informationERPERP

MESMES

• Transparency and visibility– Streamlined business processes and workflows– Implies highly integrated information systems,

with rapid flows of accurate data

• Focus, make choices• Consistent strategy and execution

– business processes– organisation & people– tools

• Strategic assets:– production and supply chain(s)– logistics and procurement programmes– inventory cycles– maintenance– personnel and organisation– …

SMART Objectives

Specific– What exactly are we going to do?

Measurable– How much are we going to do?

Acceptable– Is there support for what we want to do?

Realistic– Is it feasible what we want?

Timing– When will we be ready?

'This is the last strategy of our management !'

It is not a perfect strategy, but we apply it until we know something better !'

Agenda

• Introduction• Plant Floor Visibility

– Trends and Observations– Improve

• MES Products• Product Selection - best

practices• Conclusions

The difference ...

Black-box versus "glass" factory• High feedback speed• Clear link between corporate strategy and

manufacturing activities• Knowing the metrics• Focus at important aspects• Use of appropriate tools (MES, dashboards, ...)

Plant floor visibility• Delivers by far more improvement and profit / ROI• Separates the winners from the rest!

Closing remarks

• "No idea!" - deadly answer?

• Companies knowing their shortcomings best, improve most!

• Metrics matter!

• Technology is enabler• It is all about people !
