Your Top 3 MESA Member Benefits
Whether you're a Manufacturer/Producer striving toward Operations Excellence or a Solution Provider helping your client on their journey, there's never been a better time to join the discussion and join MESA International. Here are some of the main reasons to start today!
1. Access MESA's World-Class Intellectual Capital
As 'Thought Leaders' in the Operations Management (MES/MOM*) space, the MESA community is committed to uncovering and attacking the most pressing and demanding challenges manufacturers and producers face. As a not-for-profit organization, our findings are published for the good of the community, not for profits. This makes world-class intellectual property available to MESA members for only the cost of membership and can save our members tens-of-thousands of dollars in any given year.
But, the value of MESA extends beyond the output of our committees and working groups. There's also value in the input, as you interact and network with MES/MOM professionals from a variety of industries around the globe. These personal and professional connections often create lifelines for learning and best practice sharing that can help you avoid pitfalls and propel yourself forward.
Examples of MESA Intellectual Capital (MESA Resource Library, Committees, Working Groups & More!):
| Guidebooks | Metrics Research | Initiatives |
|
- Asset Performance Mgmt | - Metrics That Matter - Correlating Plant Performance to Business Performance - Pursuit of Performance Excellence - Metrics Strategies of Leading Performers | - Return on Investment (ROI) - MESA Model w/ Dictionary - Industrial Interoperability - Network Security - Food & Product Safety - Continuous Process Industries Many more!!! |
*NOTE: MES/MOM = Manufacturing Execution Systems/Manufacturing Operations Management
2. Learn through MESA's Global Education Program
The MESA Global Education Program (GEP) fills a noticeable void in industry - the lack of independent competency training in the Operations Management arena - and is building an increasingly competent pool of MES/MOM professionals to help more members realize the value of the potential trapped within their Operations. The MESA GEP reduces members' risk, time and costs of implementing and supporting MES/MOM solutions by increasing the knowledge level of internal and external project teams. It also reduces costs and time in systems selection, deployment and governance and helps members understand and more clearly articulate the value of MES/MOM solutions.
All Premium MESA members, both Solution Providers and Manufacturer/Producers, enjoy a discount of over 30% off Basic Member and non-member pricing for MESA GEP events. But, there's more...
Membership fees for MESA Premium Manufacturer/Producer Company members are 100% creditable to MESA GEP events, allowing member companies to educate a core group of employees each year at no additional cost beyond the membership fee!
3. Realize Operations Excellence
MESA has been 'Driving Operations Excellence' since 1992 and is well aware of the significant financial returns that can accompany successful MES/MOM projects. Returns for such initiatives can impact many different functional areas and improve the performance of many different teams and departments.
The value for member companies to educate their employees and arm them with the tools they need to not only survive in today's fast-paced, ultra-competitive global economy but to thrive in it far outweighs the cost of membership in MESA. Even modest, incremental gains in plant performance, product quality or operating visibility, reliability or responsiveness have been proven to save companies millions of dollars. While no returns can be guaranteed, can you really afford NOT to be part of the discussion?
