How a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Can Transform Your Operation
When it comes to your supply chain, there is no question that your manufacturing process is the most significant area of value creation. Unlike other nodes in the supply chain, where very little value is being created during the movement, storage and transport of your goods, the shop floor is where you transform purchased materials into your very special product. Thus, the pursuit of improvements is continuous, and often revolves around product quality, production speeds, machine utilization and labor productivity.

The industry structure allows each company to specialize and reduce their expensive capital asset base. However, outsourcers have also chosen, by intent or not, to take on other issues and additional risk as a result of ceding control of their operations. [Sponsored by Camstar Systems Inc.]
