We help you to develop the possibilities of planning tools and experience of planners into a stronger planning process. The company benefits from the optimization of logistics and production through better key figures while the planners benefit through less personal workload and easier vacation replacement.

      Our Best Practice Example

      Siemens Electronic Works Chengdu (SEWC) is China’s flagship factory when it comes to implementing Industry 4.0 in the Middle Kingdom. At the Chengdu plant, products and machines communicate with each other, and all processes are IT-optimized and -controlled. The intelligent factory thus achieves maximum productivity and outstanding quality.

      Thanks to the connection of Enterprise (ERP/PLM) and Management Level (MES) by Opcenter APS (formerly Preactor APS), production is completely digitally recorded, monitored, analysed and optimized. The concept was also developed in line with the “Made in China 2025” strategy.

      MCP supports Siemens at 16 European locations in various industries.
