Manufacturing Scheduling and MOM/MES Evaluation

Operational scheduling and manufacturing-visibility solution with governed master data, trained users, and support ownership.

Why the Work Mattered

Purpose and Operating Need

Selected Hybrid agile discovery plus stage-gate procurement at Medium / accelerated effort and Accelerated speed; sequenced as Wave 2.

Engineering Approach

Delivered digital-manufacturing scope included VOC, process mapping, requirements, data architecture, vendor selection, configuration, interfaces, pilot deployment, user acceptance, training, cutover, and support ownership. The operating environment included 78 part variations, 20 processes, three customer types, more than 40 suppliers researched, more than 15 contacted, and a four-to-eight-week turnaround. Led vendor selection and delivery of the scheduling solution, coordinating master-data and interface configuration, pilot deployment, user acceptance, training, cutover and support handoff.

Outcome & Engineering Context

Outcome and Context

Delivered MOM/MES scheduling solution through accepted operational turnover and closeout.

Engineering scope and design basis

Food ingredients manufacturer Capital Project Engineer; owning workstream PG-B-04; authority Plant Manager.

2012-06-01 to 2013-12-31; budget $2,600,000; forecast variance (budget less EAC) $52,000.

Directed the translation of approved scope into procurement and supplier-data requirements, construction/configuration work packages, inspection and change records, mechanical completion and readiness evidence.

Used requirements-to-acceptance traceability, WBS and control schedule, cost/resource registers, agreements and acceptance records, baselines, risk/change controls, commissioning evidence, training, and G9 ownership transfer.

Authoritative master data; route and priority rules; role-based schedule changes; versioned requirements; decision traceability; interface control; cybersecurity; sanitation windows; allergen or culture segregation; clean holds; QA release; human approval of schedules.

76 controlled project documents across nine lifecycle phases, 362 linked execution records, accepted G1-G9 gates, and final baseline PRJ-B-005-BL-OT-B01.

OPERATIONAL / CLOSED; 78 part variations; 20 processes; 3 customer types; operational turnover completed

Operations received MOM/MES scheduling solution with accepted configuration, procedures, training, asset and maintenance records, residual-item disposition, and ownership.

Delivered MOM/MES scheduling solution, measured by 78 part variations; 20 processes; 3 customer types; operational turnover completed, by executing Hybrid agile discovery plus stage-gate procurement from concept through G9 closeout.
