Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a MES/MOM Awareness Training?

Current industry discussions are focused on manufacturing/production’s actual role in global supply chain network. For any manufacturer to be competitive, actual manufacturing operations activities must be highly interactive in supply chain and enterprise processes for effective collaboration and competition. This is the domain of collaborative and flexible manufacturing operations management (MOM) system architectures. Getting awareness about preparation, selection, implementation of MES/MOM solutions is essential to capture the benefits.

Who benefits from attending?

The CoA certificate is best for manufacturing/operations management and leaders, operations excellence / continuous improvement experts, production / process engineers, systems analysts, architects, programmers who are relatively new in the MES/MOM domain.

What industries do people come from to attend this education program?

MESA’s Global Education Program is not industry specific. All industries are represented throughout the duration of the program. You can however host an In- House program to tailor make the program to your industry. For more information contact Sarah.Knight@mom-institute.org.
