Member Testimonials

"MESA's information on innovations, latest trends and thought provoking insights to efficient use of energy, materials and manpower for sustainable growth in Manufacturing has been a great source for me. Various discussions and published information on the MESA website about the use of IT and automation to improve plant and people efficiencies have provided me with a good learning experience. The launch of MESA India will be of tremendous help to all of us here in India and will be a good information and knowledge sharing arena for all of us in manufacturing. Keep up the good work MESA!"
Sanjay Desai, CEO of RBD Engineers

"MESA has helped me stay current with a different kind of 5S - strategies, systems, software, standards and solutions for improved operational performance in two MES shop floor implementation projects. My participation on a few of the working groups has been very beneficial, providing me with new information on best practices and also allowing me to network and find people who were having similar experiences to issues I was facing. The MESA conference provided me with solid information on vendor selection and MES implementation approaches."

"As my company expanded from a single US plant to a multi-plant, international company, MESA's international footprint has provided a strong platform for learning about methodologies and metrics. Networking with other MESA members and participating in committees, I am proud to be part of the team that has developed and shared tools for manufacturing success."

"MESA membership is, first of all, helpful to me to develop and extend a network of other MES system users and providers. Especially appropriate information and interesting suggestions come from discussions about the best way to set up business cases. The contacts with system integrators and solutions help me to keep up with general system developments and requirements of other system users. Last but not least: a lot of interesting information is available at the MESA web site."
