According to AMR Research, "There is renewed interest in next-generation manufacturing strategies that cover a broad range of topics, but particularly MES, enterprise intelligence, and compliance/traceability. Predictable, compliant manufacturing is key to perfect order performance, which inside the plant translates to a need for frequent changeovers, better process and asset capabilities, increased product safety, and extensive performance management… Perfect order is the key to profitability. The transformation… starts with the business case, the potential ROI, and an understanding of the benefits that should be realized over time. Since most companies are currently involved in a deployment of some kind, this topic gets a lot of attention, but it has its challenges. We regularly see two groups in an organization claiming the same benefit!"
