I am a Senior Manager, Consultant, Business Analyst, and Developer with over 30 years of experience in a wide spectrum of manufacturing shop floor automation, data, and information systems, including nearly 25 years in the Life Sciences. I have worked with several top manufacturing companies to implement and qualify Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence (EMI), Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM), Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and related solutions, bringing technical leadership and innovative thinking to these engagements. This involves working with clients to define business needs and implementation strategies, map their business processes, define system requirements, calculate return on investment, and then architect solutions that are based on industry standards, best practices, and leverage existing infrastructure.I am a member of MESA International (mesa.org), and have participated in conferences, served on the Technical Committee and as primary editor for the initial version of the MESA Collaborative Manufacturing Dictionary, and was a contributing author for their Quality and Regulatory Compliance strategic initiative and guidebook.Specialties: Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM)Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
