As you may have figured out already, in Dassault System we have real experts in action. Some of them work and contribute as Subject Matter Experts at MESA (https://mesa.org/), the Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association.
John Jackiw (US) and Bryn Sharp (UK) are some of them. John as the coordination lead, the team produced an analytics guidebook in 2020 with the title “Manufacturing Analytics - Exploring the new world of decision making with connected manufacturing”.
In this 88-page guidebook, you can clearly read and understand, to establish Manufacturing Process Intelligence in your company, there are many different dimensions to be considered and worked on to achieve the full value from it. Besides the explanation of reasons and goals for it, various topics have been illuminated. Just for you to get an idea, I list a few of them
- Building a Team for Digital Transformation
- The role of plant operations
- Metrics and KPIs
- Actionable vs. Reportable Analytics
- Consider the source of metrics
- Manufacturing Analytics construction process
- Manufacturing the value of digitalization
- And many more…
Of course, all report’s content, intellectual property and rights stay with MESA and therefore I cannot unveil the conclusions, findings and bits of advice. However, what I suggest: If you are interested in improving your operations around analytics, it might be worth reading it.
