Remade MESA holds annual conference

Expect an exchange of ideas on manufacturing excellence at the Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association (MESA) International conference, to be held September 13-16 at the Indian Lakes Resort near Chicago.

"The conference will reflect our evolution toward a more end-user focused organization by showcasing a range of best practices, end-user presentations, and challenging ideas," says MESA Chairman Kevin Roach, a VP with GE Fanuc Automation.

Forward looking ideas—and then some—will start with the opening keynote presentation from always-interesting Bruce Richardson of Boston-based analyst firm AMR Research, who will discuss whether enterprises need a "chief manufacturing officer" to lead the charge on excellence initiatives.
