The integration of Manufacturing Operations and Control Systems allows manufacturing and material handling facilities to significantly reduce operational costs. The more integrated the MOPECS system is to your process, equipment and staffing, the better the results. However, the problem facing many organizations is how do we get started?
TSI has helped several organizations get started as part of our up front MOPECS strategic planning. Our approach involves developing an “AS IS” situation, which creates an inventory of your current processes and systems and their states, planning the “To Be“ situation for the MOPECS solution and developing a “Road Map” to get there. The process includes interviews with a number of departments since MOPECS integrates the many processes and systems (e.g., ERP, operations, supply chain, labor, quality, maintenance, controls) together.
The deliverable is a comprehensive Strategic Manufacturing Operations and Control Systems Plan that contains items such as the end-state system architecture, cost, estimated return on investment, schedule, implementation plan, staffing and roles, and software vendor selection.
