The continuous evolution in manufacturing strategy has radically changed the way successful manufacturers operate today. Next generation manufacturing and information systems must address these changes and focus on new requirements.
These requirements are often lead by new initiatives and strategies, such as Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and TPM. The implementation of these strategies is making the plant more agile and efficient when it comes to running smaller lot-sizes, reducing lead-time and reacting to changing customer demand.
In order to achieve this level of World-Class Manufacturing, manufacturers need more transparency in their processes and products. They need tools to capture the required data as well as systems to turn this data into real-time information. This decision-supportive information helps production managers, supervisors, and operators to make the right decision and eliminate costly mistakes before they occur.
