Choosing the best manufacturing software for a facility is not an easy task. This paper delves into the reasons why many manufacturing companies are adding MES to their ERP shop solution and achieving improved productivity, and cost and cycle time reductions.
A Roadmap to Concurrent Engineering 2.0
This paper is targeted to Product Design Engineers, Manufacturing Engineers, Industrial Engineers, Quality Engineers and Operations Managers who are interested in streamlining complex engineering change practices in industries such as aerospace, defense, shipbuilding, nuclear energy, industrial electronics and complex medical devices.

A Case Study in Concurrent Engineering 2.0 with DELMIA and SOLUMINA
This paper is a case study describing how two leading software vendors, Dassault Systèmes and iBASEt, offer an integrated solution that implements the methodology described in Concurrent Engineering 2.0 for complex discrete manufacturing industries.

Leveraging Enterprise Systems for Efficient ISO9001/AS9100 QMS Compliance
This paper reviews the requirements of the ISO 9001 and AS9100 standards with a perspective on how modern software applications and information technology can be used to ensure compliance in different areas of the Quality Management System (QMS) standard. The QMS should be an integral part of the enterprise systems landscape architecture.

FAA Compliance Facilitated by Operations Process Management
This paper identifies how the Solumina software facilitates more efficient compliance with regulatory guidelines through improved production and inspection procedures.
Eliminating Paperwork Constraints from the Shop Floor
This paper illuminates the potential of embracing new practices enabled by paperless manufacturing and information systems. Besides eliminating paperwork, such process reengineering and reorganization may include improvements for ease of use, streamlining of processes for continuous flows, elimination of nonvalue-added steps and empowerment of the workforce.

True Product Lifecycle Management Begins When Design Ends
This paper examines the complexities of complete Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and the different systems involved. In addition to managing the product’s design, production and documentation, PLM also requires directing all of the processes involved during the various production operations, as well as managing the warranty, service, maintenance and repair processes, and, in some cases, the recycling/disposal processes.

Are We Ready for the New Manufacturing Workforce?
iBASEt, KABA Workforce Solutions and Managing Automation joined in this panel to discuss how leading manufacturing companies are leveraging new technology in Workforce Management and Manufacturing Execution (MES) to facilitate initiatives to attract, leverage and retain the new workforce. This is a Web cast transcript with illustrations.

Modernizing Operations Process Management in the Nuclear Industry
This paper is of interest to Engineering, Operations, Quality Assurance, Records Management and Integrated Safety Analysis departments with initiatives to achieve greater productivity through improved process control that meets the latest requirements from regulatory agencies.

High Efficiency in Manufacturing Operations
This paper examines why manufacturers are focusing on the creation of more efficient manufacturing operations and which manufacturers are the most successful in achieving these efficiency gains.

Metrics that Matter: Uncovering KPIs that Justify Operational Improvements
This paper covers the importance of metrics. The better the company’s system for metrics, the more their operations performance improves and the more their business and financial performance improves.

The MES Performance Advantage: Best of the Best Plants Use MES
