MESA North America Metrics Makeover Success!

The MESA North America Metrics Make-over was a success! The team presented the accomplishments at the North America MESA Conference, followed by an active question and answer session. Real-time Production KPIs were shown to provide tangible value, and the linkage between these metrics and Financial metrics was demonstrated. Key learning’s included:
  • Maximize MES or shop floor systems to track key manufacturing KPIs and improve operational performance

  • Use ERP (or other financial systems) to track and report financial data by operation in as much detail as possible

  • Analyze and determine correlation between operations and financial performance to find key manufacturing KPI linkage to business drivers

  • Start small in one operation or area and grow from there
