制造运营管理平台

面对动态的市场变化和竞争威胁，制造商将重点从单个工厂或工厂的执行扩大到整个全球制造网络的执行。鉴于此类网络的固有复杂性，这些公司的领导者正在采用一种新的方法来制造信息技术（IT），我们将其描述为“制造运营管理（MOM）平台”。

In recent Aberdeen research, it was shown that the cornerstone of this new approach is interoperability. Best-in-Class manufacturers are more likely than both the Industry Average and Laggards to be investing in real-time interoperability between manufacturing systems and the other technologies they have adopted, including enterprise resource planning (ERP), product lifecycle management (PLM) and supply chain management (SCM).

这种互操作性使最佳的课堂可以更轻松地创建实时可见性和自动化工作流以管理执行。它还允许一流的制造商在商店地板上提供所需的整个功能范围，该功能通常比ME的原始定义更广泛，或者实际上任何一个应用程序应该能够提供的功能。最后，也许最重要的是，实时互操作性使组织能够更有效地将制造与组织中的其他业务流程联系起来。

Design improvements

For example, in industries such as aerospace and defense, which is very design intensive, PLM and MOM interoperability allows organizations to improve designs from a manufacturability and quality perspective. It also allows for more efficient processing of engineering change orders, and ultimately reduces the time to volume of new products.

In industries that are distribution intensive, such as consumer packaged goods, SCM and MOM interoperability allows manufacturers to more effectively manage the delivery process. This type of interoperability allows manufacturers to more easily match manufacturing to demand, especially in production settings affected by seasonality or other demand volatilities. In this case, it can also help organizations reduce inventory throughout the supply chain by providing system-wide optimization with visibility to repercussions upstream and downstream.

一流制造商对MOM平台的第二个主要区别是跨多个设施部署。由于制造系统开始与其他企业系统互操作，因此它们本身现在被视为企业系统。随后，一流的制造商更有效地部署了妈妈的制造占地面积（平均大约增加70％的占地面积），更快地（平均三个月），毫不奇怪，更多，更多与项目的原始范围紧密交付（平均功能多约10％）。

Interestingly, thought leaders having been talking about multi-site deployments and real-time interoperability between manufacturing and enterprise systems for almost a decade, but not until recently have organizations been able to create such an environment in a cost-effective way. To help achieve this cost effectiveness, Best-in-Class organizations are more likely to leverage a number of IT tools and open standards.

总而言之，MOM平台不仅仅是单个软件应用程序或一组功能和工作流程。它涉及使用IT工具和最佳实践，符合标准，整个制造技术堆栈中的互操作性等等。制造运营管理平台的有效体系结构的特征包括诸如涵盖所有制造领域的广泛功能，这些功能侧重于产品开发和工程，采购和分销之间的协作。它将包含实时互操作性，并使用IT工具，例如业务流程管理和标准，例如由美国国家标准学院和国际自动化学会颁布的ANSI/ISA95。应建立路线图，以将植物级系统合并到整个制造网络的单身妈妈解决方案。
