MESA has formed an Asia Pacific (APAC) expansion committee focusing on manufacturing execution systems. The committee – together with working groups in Australia, China, India, Korea and Singapore – is intended as a forum in which to share best practices, explore manufacturing information systems and discuss the emerging industry.

Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association (MESA) International is a worldwide not-for-profit community of manufacturing companies, information technology hardware and software suppliers, system integrators, consulting service providers, analysts, academics and students. The combined purpose is to improve business production operations through optimised application and implementation of information technology and best management practices.

The MESA APAC expansion will be headed by Greg Johnson from Schneider Electric, with the committee also including representatives from vendors including Siemens, Invensys and GE Fanuc, consultants and integrators and a range of end-users.

“MESA is at the centre of a space that is getting significant attention, especially given the current state of the economy and the performance pressures that companies are facing,” said John Dyck, MESA international board chairman. “We are very excited that MESA is spreading its coverage to the Asia Pacific.”
