2010 NA MESA Conference hosted by Ford
The MESA 2010 North American Conference will take attendees deep into some of the most pressing challenges industry faces today and, more importantly, into the Best Practices and actionable steps companies can take RIGHT NOW to meet those challenges. Meet with peers, MESA Working Groups, solution providers, and industry thought leaders to share your experiences and to learn from those of others on the road to Operations Excellence.
Particularly noteworthy is that the conference will be hosted by Ford Motor Company in the backyard of their corporate headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, USA. The main conference location is the Ford Conference and Event Center. Ford has long been committed to being operationally excellent and is one of the world's most advanced users of Information Technology (IT) solutions in their plants and across their global enterprise. They know the importance of manufacturing to the global economy, and MESA is honored to bring our membership and conference to the U.S. Midwest to engage the best-and-brightest minds in industry in Ford's hometown.
However, this is NOT an automotive-only conference or even a conference just for discrete manufacturers. MESA represents the interests of manufacturers and producers across the industrial landscape from discrete to batch and mixed mode to continuous process environments, and the conference will, too. Embracing the intersection of technology and human capital to pursue Operations Excellence, taking costs out of your operations, managing asset performance, or building a Real-Time Enterprise spans all manufacturers and producers in all industries; so, we invite practitioners from all industries and experience levels to join us in Dearborn, MI for the MESA 2010 North American Conference.
Logica at the 2009 MESA European Conference
As premier sponsor, Logica was actively involved at the successful European Conference of MESA International in Utrecht
Jan Snoeij, Principal Consultant and chair of MESA EMEA, opened the conference with his presentation on "Survive-to-Thrive".
At the conference, prominent manufacturers and industry experts shared their experience with their strategic initiatives, application
of standards and practical cases in various sessions. These provided an excellent networking
platform to exchange visions, trends and experience across the industries.
The attendees confirmed: "Especially now, many manufacturers and producers are looking for best practices and tools to help them to
be ready for the recovery of the economy, whenever that may come. The conference was a good place to learn from your peers!"
