INTEGRATION TO INNOVATION

PLANT - TO - ENTERPRISE2007 Conference

1

Dear Friends of MESA:Welcome to MESA International’s 2007 Plant-To-Enterprise Conference. This year’s theme, “Integration to Innovation” very much reflects the changes occurring across the manufacturing landscape today. While there have been significant investments made at the automation and enterprise layers over the past couple of decades – many organizations still have a real gap around the information and processes associated with the actualproduction operations. If you can’t easily collaborate around and share such information in real-time, you are going to find yourself at a competitive disadvantage in today’s globalized economy. A connected enterprise can react more quickly, consistently, and efficiently when change is called for.

And what does integration have to do with innovation, either in products, processes, or otherwise? There is a direct link between how integrated you are, and how fast and efficiently you can translate innovative concepts into new business or production processes. Good integration makes it easier to create that waterfall effect you want for converting new product designs into manufacturing capability, or for instance - implementingmanufacturing processes that support mass customization goals. A connected enterprise experiences fewer of the time and effort barriers that might otherwise hinder your ability to execute on innovation.

Our 3rd P2E conference focuses on the link between these two important aspects of today’s manufacturing enterprise. You’ll find a unique combination of real-life insights, best practices, and thought leadership with case-study presentations and interactive educational workshops on the business and technical aspects of the connected enterprise. We have some wonderful keynotes this year. On Monday, Peter Fingar offers afascinating macro view of the impact of globalization – as well as what we can do about it.

In addition, we have two back to back CIO panels on Tuesday that will offer some very current and relevant insight on how some of the biggest names in manufacturing are dealing with their own manufacturing ITstrategies and the impact on innovation in their companies.

I am very pleased to report that our association is as strong as it has been in years – thanks to the dedication of our terrific Board of Directors and the ongoing support that you, our members and guests, have provided throughout the year. I want to personally thank everyone who has contributed to our conference efforts - the MESA Conference Committee, our management team at KCA and my counterparts at Siemens, GE Fanuc, SAP, IBM, Wonderware, Microsoft, and MPDV who continue to support this organization as KeystoneSponsors. Most of all, I want to thank all of our members and guests who have traveled here to be a part of this special week. Thanks to everyone – have a great Conference!

In Part 1, the presentation explains the challenges of scoping and justifying an MES project to the CIO/CFO level of a company. Justification is not asoftware demo or even an ROI study, it iscontextualizing the business value to the business drivers while quantifying the risk. The competition comes in many forms: Enterprise and Automation vendors as well as internal initiatives.

In Part 2, an ROI workshop explains how tobalance tangible benefits, assumed results, riskfactors, and mitigation strategies into a defendable business justification.

Objective: Educate customers on how to justify production management solutions within their own organization.

Plant Floor Visibility andMES Product SelectionJan Snoeij, Principal Consultant - LogicaCMG

Industrial manufacturers face many challengesrelated to the execution of their manufacturingoperations: typically logistical optimization, costcutting, and strengthening the position in thesupply chain. Moreover, manufacturers must have the quality of their products and processes under control and, sometimes, provide evidence of this control as required by government regulations. To handle these challenges in the manufacturingenvironment, IT systems of a specific nature are required, close to the execution of the operations, able to handle near real-time information and able to work with information from many other IT systems and installations. Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are built to do exactly this. Well considered, integration of MES in the organization’s ITlandscape offers Plant Floor Visibility.

In this workshop you will learn more about:• the aforementioned challenges;• the business case as a staring point for selection; • the evolution of today’s MES products;• the best practices in selecting MES products;• how to check if your organization is ready for a successful implementation.

The best practices in selecting and implementing MES as presented in this workshop are based on the results and experience of a large number of projects in various industry sectors. Explicit cases will be analyzed and, in an interactive session with theparticipants, a “real” shortlist will be determined.

Is 30% of your control system investment being wasted? Most process plants are running with 30% of their control system in manual mode. This is a symptom of some very big underlying problems.

This presentation uses real-world case studies to demonstrate tools and techniques for maximizing the performance of process and control system assets. Using these techniques, plants can achievemeasurable improvements, in cost, quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.
