Vision & principles
An MES/MOM framework aligned with manufacturing objectives, business strategy and operational priorities.
MES/MOM strategy & architecture
Turn manufacturing objectives into a practical MES/MOM strategy.
A successful MES programme does not start with software selection. It starts with clear decisions about processes, information, system boundaries and ownership. ABC turns manufacturing objectives into an agreed MES/MOM strategy that operations, IT and delivery partners can implement.
Arrange a conversation01 — Context
When the MES challenge goes beyond software selection
Many organisations begin with a longlist of suppliers before processes, responsibilities and the role of ERP are sufficiently clear. The result is often functional overlap, unnecessary customisation and design decisions that are costly to reverse.
- ERP transformation with direct impact on manufacturing and logistics
- Sites with different processes, standards and maturity levels
- Weak alignment between the business case, architecture and delivery model
- Unresolved responsibilities across MES, ERP, WMS and the automation layer
02 — Key deliverables
What ABC delivers in practice
Not a standalone vision document, but clear decisions and architecture that executives, operations, IT/OT teams and delivery partners can act on.
Blueprint & architecture
Process scope, capabilities, ISA-95 positioning, information flows, integration principles and explicit system boundaries.
Roadmap & governance
Phasing, dependencies, decision gates, roles, risks and prerequisites for selection and implementation.
03 — Approach
Vendor-neutral by design
Dirk brings executive management, operations, engineering, IT, QA and suppliers into one decision-making framework. The architecture is tested against day-to-day manufacturing realities and the need to scale across sites and lines.
ABC provides strategic direction, architecture and governance. The work remains vendor-neutral until requirements, target architecture and selection criteria are clear enough to support an informed choice.
