Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need MES/MOM training?

Current industry discussions focus on the actual role of manufacturing/production in the global supply chain network. For any manufacturer to be competitive, actual manufacturing operations activities must be highly interactive in supply chain and enterprise processes to achieve effective collaboration and competition. This is the domain of collaborative and flexible manufacturing operations management (MOM) system architectures. Developing comprehensive skills to ensure selection, implementation and capturing the benefits is essential to deliver that important ROI.

Who benefits from attending?

Completing the CoC certificate is best for manufacturing/operations management and leaders, operations excellence/continuous improvement experts, production/process engineers, systems analysts, architects, programmers, project managers and consultants.

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

MESA’s Global Education Program is not industry specific. Participants come from all industries. If you prefer, you can host an in-house program tailored specifically to your industry. For more information, contact Sarah.Knight@mom-institute.org.
