On Nov-24, 2008 the first meeting of MESA Russian working group took place on the premises of Invensys Process Systems Russia. Sixteen employees of international MES vendors, leading Systems Integrators and Universities discussed the purpose and goals of the working group - how it could contribute to the prosperity of MESA International, Russian industrial companies and Russian Federation. As a result of the discussion, the following was decided:
Purpose of MESA-ru (a short informal title of Russian working group, used by the members):
To popularize MESA as such and to share MESA knowledge on innovation, best practices, operations-centric enterprise solutions among industrial companies of Russia.
Objectives for 2009:
Today the working group consists of 6 activists and each of us is focusing on a particular objective. The main objective which will support achievement of all others is the first International MES conference in Moscow.
THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL MES CONFERENCE IN MOSCOW
'Enabling Technologies for Operations Management'
TARGET AUDIENCE: General management and C-level technological management.
DATE AND PLACE: 22-23 of October, 2009, Business-hotel "Milan" (http://www.hotelmilan.ru/), Moscow, Russia.
PATRONAGE:
Today's manufacturing enterprises face challenges beyond globalization and commoditization. The global financial meltdown, volatile raw materials markets and rising energy costs are just a few of the factors putting manufacturers squarely in the trenches in the battle to fight through the current global economic crisis.
The theme of the MESA's 2009 Moscow regional conference "Enabling Technologies for Operations Management" focuses on how companies can reduce and save costs, create compliance, transparency, visibility and increased agility.
At the conference, manufacturers will discuss the impact of their initiatives on short and long term savings and, where possible, documented ROI.
This regional conference provides an excellent opportunity for beginners and experts alike to learn how their peers are leveraging innovative information technologies to lower manufacturing risk, increase productivity, increase agility and improve quality. The presentations in the program will provide an excellent networking platform to exchange visions, trends and experience across the industries.
