Topic: "Making sense of Manufacturing Execution Systems -
Applying advanced technologies to support manufacturing
excellence."
Speaker: Paul Boris, SAP Senior Director for the
Perfect Plant Center of Excellence
As the definition of MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) continues
to evolve and ERP moves close to the shop floor, the opportunity to take
advantage of technology has never been better. But, along with the opportunity,
there is a fair amount of confusion about applying these technologies.
This presentation is intended to de-mystify MES, and discuss how manufacturers
can leverage their existing systems and knowledge-base to take advantage
of advanced technologies while minimizing the inherent risks.
Paul has over 20 years experience working with manufacturing firms to
help them define and deliver sustained operational improvement. He started
with General Motors in the Assembly Division and has run facilities encompassing
all modes of manufacturing. Mr. Boris began applying his experiences
to the deployment of manufacturing technologies in 1996. He joined SAP
in 2005 with the acquisition of Lighthammer Software and his current
focus is on the delivery of next-generation systems to support adaptive
manufacturing.
