Session 1: Manufacturing Metrics that MatterMESA and its partner LNS Research have newly published survey results and findings that will form the foundation of this unConference session. Leverage these resources to compare, contrast, and get the information you need to not only measure performance, but improve it!

Attendees will receive an email to download the public version of the MESA and LNS Research ‘Metrics that Really Matter’ research results.

Session 4: Manufacturing/IT Free-For-AllBring any and all technology-related questions, challenges, and even complaints. Let the MESA community help you answer questions like: What is MES/MOM? P2E Interoperability? The roles of standards? Cyber security? The Cloud? You name it!

Session 2: Digitizing the Supply Chain - New Product Development & Introduction (NPDI)New products are the lifeblood of companies today. All industries need to manage product definitions across their internal production operations and extended supply chain. MESA’s Enterprise Recipe Management (ERM) Working Group will share work they’re doing to reduce the NPDI cycle in both discrete and process manufacturing. Join them to discuss your challenges supporting compressed product life-cycles and increasingly faster NPDI requirements.

Attendees will receive an email to download published copies of all MESA ERM Working Group’s white papers.

Session 3: Building a Business Case for Plant SystemsThis session is perfect for those who want to show their company how much money, time, and resources can be saved with plant systems. Tell us your challenges in making a business case for these systems in your CapEx requests. In return, we’ll give you powerful answers to take back. Better yet, bring your CapEx decision makers with you!

Attendees will receive an email to download MESA’s ROI & Cost Justification Guidebook.
