Smart MES is the basis for better performance and continuous improvementA Manufacturing Execution System (MES) usually serves only as the bridge between planning (the ERP system) and process-control. Even though an MES can also act as the sole, “pure” information platform. Companies that see to the careful and well-thought-out development and implementation of their MES, Frank Bekkers says, are therefore laying the foundation for better performance and continuous improvement. Read about it in his blog.
Direct personnel planning every bit as important as OEEThe goal of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is to achieve optimal productivity on a production line. But aren’t we focusing too exclusively on the process, the technology and the machines alone? Erik Haks (Associate Partner ARV Group) is convinced that productivity and quality will receive a much bigger boost when direct personnel planning is applied. Read his blog about establishing systematic planning for in-house personnel and flexi-workers and their capabilities. Allotting enough capacity to production lines. And mobilizing and developing all of the required know-how and skills.
The hidden power of usefulness, necessity and pleasureMartijn Cazemier is convinced of it: entrepreneurial targets and personal ambitions reinforce each other when a sense of usefulness is the common drive. Because both companies and individuals want to do things that make a difference. His premise is that as long as change, improvement and growth are worth doing, everyone will feel like making them happen. And, with that, the door is open to success, growth and satisfied customers. Read his blog about the hidden power of usefulness, necessity and pleasure.
