MESA announces B2MML & Integration Fundamentals One-day Program
September 9, 2013 in Raleigh, NC

 

MESA International is offering its first B2MML & Integration Fundamental program on September 9, 2013 in Raleigh, NC. The one-day course will cover the fundamentals of plant-to-enterprise integration using B2MML and ISA-95 standards. It will address how to apply best practices to significantly reduce the risk, cost and time of an integration project - and will show participants how to avoid potential pitfalls in the integration process.


This class is intended for those starting, thinking about or currently supporting an integration project. Participants completing the class and passing the in-course and out-course tests will earn their Certificate of Competency, which demonstrates that they've been given the tools and knowledge to make your ERP-to-Shop Floor integration project a success.


"When it comes to plant-to-enterprise integration projects, educating industry professionals on how and why to use Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions in their operations is clearly a need. The B2MML & Integration Fundamentals program is an important step in MESA's efforts to address that need for the industry," said Mike Yost, President, MESA International.
