In 2004, Akzo Nobel Base Chemicals launched a programme to harmonize all its chemicals plants on one MES platform - 13 plants located on 7 production sites in 4 European countries in total. The main objective was to: 

• Harmonize all plant information,
• Create a one-way-of-working on production accounting
• Engage better opportunities for plant performance benchmarking

From a business point of view, this program intended to clear a path to improve quality and overall business performance.

In this one hour session, it's time to look back:

• What have been the results?
• What are the lessons learned to keep in mind when running comprehensive MES harmonization programs?

Insights from Akzo Nobel as well as other key Atos Origin clients will be discussed, providing you with necessary tools to:

• Plan, manage and control all pre-programme activities to de-risk project activities
• Use best practices to accelerate the implementation and the acceptance of an MES solution across multiple plants/countries keeping delivery quality high
• Manage the most important KPIs to control your performances and promptly take corrective actions
• Make use of experience of other companies to quickly leverage ROI's on multi-plant MES installations
