Announcing MESA 2007 Plant-To-Enterprise Conference: Integration to Innovation
The 3rd Annual Plant-To-Enterprise MESA Conference: Integration to Innovation is being held September 16-18, 2007 at theRosen Plaza, Orlando, FL.
MESA's 2007 conference will carry on the same P2E theme as the previous two years, but with a focus on Integration and Innovation. The program will showcase how leading manufacturers are effectively integrating new and existing systems and processes while focusing on innovation in their operations.
Today's businesses are working to gain more control and information about the manufacturing and supply chain in order to make timely business decisions. More and more are focusing on implementing improved solutions and systems to provide this capability at a low cost, and are challenging IT and operations every day. Undertaking this effort inside your business today, while focused on cost justification, timely deployment, and general program role out, can be a daunting task. This year's conference focuses on helping to provide insights and experiences by the "been there done that" crowd to provide ideas you may want to consider as you make decisions. This year you will be able to attend sessions that have content focused on your decision making level based on your deployment lifecycle as well as common interest topics for ALL levels of attendees.
The following tracks are being planned:
Universal - Contains topics and subject matter that ALL levels of manufacturers would be interested in.
Foundation - Focused on subject matter that provides manufacturers who are just beginning the process of justifying, specifying and scoping information and supply chain focused programs.
Intermediate - Information around topics for manufacturers that are focused on installation and use of basic system features.
Advanced - Delivers innovative and forward looking visions and ideas around getting the most out of your installed systems after you have realized basic returns promised.
You are invited to share your experience
MESA would like to invite you to share your story of how your company has handled the complexity of integration while focusing on innovation.
