One of the most noticeable trends in plant operations today is the move to multi-plant production management. Decades of merger and acquisition activity means that even midsize companies now operate multiple facilities, often making similar products. Yet given the legacy systems found in these plants, comparing performance amongst them can be a frustrating endeavor.
Plant operations systems for production and performance management, because they are based on services-oriented architecture (SOA), become increasingly easy to apply as they are implemented across multiple plant instances. They offer a way for a manufacturing enterprise to have a common context for its far flung production operations.
Tune into this MBT podcast to hear Sean Robinson of GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms discuss the who, what, when, where, and why of multi-plant operations management. This is a subject in which Robinson is well versed, and that he addresses in detail based on real-world experience.
