MESA International is making the first call-for-papers to support our 2015 theme, “Advancing. Manufacturing. IT.“ We will focus on highlighting the business value of solving plant and enterprise-level manufacturing challenges with Information Technology (IT)-based solutions in 2015 and are looking for contributors willing and able to share their experiences.
The Advancing. Manufacturing. IT. theme encapsulates our
belief that the MESA community is helping advance
manufacturing businesses globally by helping those businesses understand the
role and value of modern Information Technologies in their manufacturing operations.
Participation is open to all. Prospective
authors are invited to submit original contributions on all aspects relevant to
the 2015 theme. Papers can address solutions in companies of any size and in
any industry or geography and can cover the entire range of activities in a
connected enterprise, from design for manufacturability to execution, analysis,
enterprise integration and beyond. A few examples are:
- Manufacturing Operations Management

- Enterprise Recipe Management & Transformation
- Batch & Continuous Process Operations

- Manufacturing & Business Performance Metrics
