Delivering value from MES: Optimizing Manufacturing Efficiency Paul MurrayMES ManagerCordis
The following Strategic Initiatives of MESA International are associated with this presentation: Lean Manufacturing Quality & Regulatory Compliance Real-Time Enterprise
Agenda • Introduction • Manufacturing IS Strategy • Business Drivers • Business Process Mapping • Interfaces & Information exchange • Issues
Introduction • Cordis (part of Johnson & Johnson) • Medical Device - Cardiovascular • Cashel Manufacturing facility (In start up) • Manufacture next generation of Drug Filled Stents • Full eBR in place at start up
Manufacturing IS Strategy • No one size fits all strategy to define what level of automation or what level of information acquisition is appropriate. • Highly diverse business processes with this industry • API • Secondary batch based manufacturing • Biotech • Medical Device discrete manufacturing But Convergence is happening! • Technology and business drivers are not the same. Technically driven strategies tend to run into problems that do not always maximise the value of the technology. • A strategy that takes a balanced view of all business drivers and is well aligned will generally be more successful and deliver greater value.
Business Drivers • Operational business drivers • One, few or many products? • Fastest throughput, or maximised capacity? • Headcount – as driven by rest of design and philosophy? • Quality – by exception or checked/tested • Shop floor visibility, access to real time information • Lower Inventory • Regulatory business drivers • Enforce greater compliance • Project Business Drivers • Project execution intent – fast track, minimum cost, balanced?
What is a business process? • A business process is the sequence of steps followed by various users in order to complete an end to end business operation • There are many business processes required to allow a business to function
Gaps and Overlaps • BPM will identify data collections inputs/outputs, decision points within the process • By mapping our applications to the BPM we can identify integration points, gaps and overlaps • When we understand the this we can develop an application and integration roadmap. • We can also have an opportunity to lean out existing processes. • Based on the this we can make decisions on application implementation Manugistics ERP MES LIMS

Interface/Information exchange • Clearly define data dependencies/what needs to be exchanged between systems. • Keep it simple – complicated interfaces will be require more effort to support/maintain. • Use permissive type data exchange. i.e. status flag good/not good to go. • Only interface where it makes sense – where there is ROI
Focus on reuse and little customization • Can core systems be used • Common platform, interfaces to global systems (ERP) • Standard business practices, minimize local customization • Minimize local validation • Can standard configuration objects be reused • Same process, different products (e.g. tablet compression), different parameters. • Minimize configuration and validation effort.
Issues/Risks • Having an agreed Strategy is crucial • Buy-in / commitment of all stakeholders essential – Systems have cross functional impact • Invest thoroughly in the design to GET IT RIGHT FIRST TIME!…. SAVES MONEY!! • Prototype to get stakeholder buy in and set expectations • Risk-Based Approach to Validation • Supply Vendors with standards / detailed information (e.g. specifics on data structuring, interfaces OPC, XML, etc)
People challenges vs technology challenges • The way we have always done it is fine. • ERP/MES enforces business process. Different departments/sites may/will have different views • Traditional ‘business’ IT vs. ‘Manufacturing’ IT • Fear of e – systems
