MESA Announces First Annual Australia Seminar: Sustainable Solutions for Operations Management
Chandler, AZ - MESA International today announced the first annual MESA Australia Seminar will be held in Melbourne on September 7th. MESA International is a global community of manufacturers, producers, industry leaders and solution providers who are focused on improving Operations Management capabilities through the effective application of technology solutions and best practices.
Australian manufacturers continue to face many challenges in a fiercely competitive global market. Improving quality, reducing cost, improving productivity and complying with increased regulation are just some of the challenges faced on a daily basis.
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are emerging as a key enabler of world class performance and Australian manufacturers, consultants and system integrators need a higher level understanding of the role they play, best practices for implementation and potential Return on Investment (ROI).
"The MESA Australia Working Group is excited by this opportunity to share best practices around MES," said Dan Moriarty, MESA Australia Seminar Committee Chairperson. "An extremely high quality list of speakers will give a very good picture of the state of MES in Australia."
Confirmed speakers at the seminar include thought leaders from many of Australia's leading manufacturing companies including:
- Andrew Baker, CIO Bluescope Steel
- Dwaine Febey, National Continuous Improvement Manager, Schweppes Australia
- Vince Aurora, Operations Manager, Adelaide Brighton Cement
- Richard Wawrzon, Process Control Team Leader, Qenos Pty. Ltd.
Presentation topics will include the business & technology reasons for an MES implementation, Real Time Manufacturing KPI's, and the vision to leverage the MES Information Factory in an integrated supply chain.
"The 2010 MESA Australia Seminar will be the best opportunity to network and learn about MES in Australia this year," said Greg Johnson, MESA Asia Pacific Expansion Committee Chairperson. "All manufacturing practitioners with an interest in information systems are welcome to attend."
