MESA 2008 North American Plant-to-Enterprise Conference Announced

MESA International's 2008 North American Plant-To-Enterprise Conference: Delivering on Strategies, will be held September 21-23, 2008 at the Rosen Plaza, Orlando, Florida.

Building on the success of the past three years, the MESA 2008 conference will focus on "Delivering on Strategies" and the new MESA strategic initiatives and guidebooks. Attendees will learn best practices and guidance that detail how plant-wide information systems support five key strategic corporate initiatives - lean manufacturing, quality and regulatory compliance, product lifecycle management, real-time enterprise, and total productive maintenance.

Co-chaired by Alicia Bowers and Michael Yost of GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms, the 2008 MESA conference is designed to meet the needs of today's manufacturing professional - many of which are now coming from the ranks of corporate IT departments. MESA has also structured the conference to allow attendees to select session content based on their experience level or on their deployment lifecycle - providing individuals with the opportunity to customize their learning experience.

"With membership increasing by 250% over the last year, we expect the 2008 conference to be our largest and most successful conference to date," said Matt Bauer of Rockwell Automation and Chair of MESA International. "I know of no other venue where as many major software vendors and prominent manufacturers are collaborating to offer insight and thought leadership around such important topics as lean manufacturing, quality and compliance, PLM, and the real-time enterprise. We are committed to helping manufacturing and manufacturing IT teams deliver on their strategic corporate initiatives and move the industry significantly forward."

More information on the 2008 MESA conference will be posted to http://www.mesa.org/ as it becomes available.
