MESA Metrics Survey 2009 - 2012

Producer and Manufacturer Response Needed for New Research Initiative

Correlating Plant Performance to Business Performance

In a difficult global economy, companies are seeking every lever in their production plants to keep business performance high so they survive to thrive in the upturn. To find out whether these operational improvements are driving business success, Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association (MESA) International and its research partner Cambashi Inc. are now inviting producers and manufacturers to respond to a new industry survey, Correlating Plant Performance to Business Performance.

For those who are interested, Logica offers the opportunity to participate to the online survey via the Button above. If you you want to know more about how your data relate to those from the 140 participants of which the results recently were published in the MESA Metrics report, please, contact Logica's MES centre of Excellence in Arnhem, the Netherlands.

The questionnaire asks both about improvement to and performance against specific plant and business metrics, plus software applications used, and the timeliness and structure of metrics practices. The study will correlate plant results to business results to show benefits from software use.

Respondents can elect to provide information on their performance in areas across the enterprise including: product lifecycle, quality and compliance, manufacturing productivity and lean, real-time enterprise and IT, and supply chain management. With adequate response, this information will be made available in industry-grouped views for MESA Premium Members as well.

Preliminary findings were released at the MESA Europe Plant-to-Enterprise Conference October 27-28, 2009 in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The conference, themed “Survive to Thrive,” included a special interactive session on Wednesday October 28th on the results of this “Correlating Plant Performance to Business Performance” survey. Next to this, Logica presented workshop on "Metrics that Matter" as part of the MESA Educational Program.
