In this post, I am highlighting the most read blog posts on Manufacturing Operations Management, MES and Quality Management from the last few years in case you missed them. You will find they are still very relevant today.
Over five years ago I wrote about The Collapse of The ISA95 Manufacturing Operations Management Model and years later we have seen that many have made similar observations including LNS Research.
A few years back, I wrote about the Terminology Confusion around MES versus MOM terms and how a panel at MESA International tackled the topic. This post has some great information about the history of MES and MOM models including the CIM, Purdue and ISA95 models.
I still see today many using OEE as a main KPI but many have also joined in the skepticism over this metric. This blog post explains The Dangers Of OEE As KPI For Manufacturing Operations Management.
In some organizations quality initiatives like Six Sigma are viewed separate from Lean Manufacturing initiatives but many organizations have joined in viewing them together into a Lean Six Sigma philosophy. This article discusses The Role of Quality Management Within The Lean Manufacturing Philosophy.
Juran, The Father Of Quality, Pareto, And Perhaps Six Sigma, is still an inspirational figure to many today. Some of his impact is summarized in this post.
Thanks for reading and providing feedback that enhances the coverage of these topics for everyone.
