Real time visibility into operational performance is becoming
increasingly more essential to achieving success in today's challenging
economic environment. Knowing asset utilization or capacity, identifying major
sources of downtime, locating and removing constraints and improving product
quality are all fundamental challenges that lead manufacturing organizations in
search of manufacturing intelligence solutions. Providing manufacturing
intelligence throughout the organization and to all points along the supply
chain increases responsiveness to operational issues from the top floor to the
shop floor.
PREMIER has successfully developed solutions of this type for customers in such
industries as: Automotive, Food & Beverage and Consumer Products. In the
past, these MES-based solutions were typically customized to a specific
customer's needs, thus increasing the cost, development time and the customer's
long-term dependence on the solution provider. Today, manufacturing
intelligence solutions make use of the many commercially available
off-the-shelf products and tools. These integrated solutions decrease the
development time, lessen the effort required to upgrade and are configurable so
that customer can often maintain system ownership.
