...This brings me back to Bianca’s commendable goal of documenting this multifaceted sum of ideas, capabilities and manufacturing experience in an easy-to-understand way. Her down-to-earth, anecdotal writing style is easy to read, and she has a refreshing knack for simplifying the most complex structures into clear, well organized content. I believe this book will go a long way towards educating and driving the convergence of Operations and IT that is so essential for manufacturers to succeed in this new economy. Happy reading!

John Dyck, Chairman of the Board of Directors, MESA

...This volume is sorely needed, [...] all so that executives who may or may not have any plant management expertise or experience can understand why we spend so much time talking about these issues...and how much money doing it right can save them, as well as how much money doing it wrong will cost.

Walt Boyes, Editor in Chief, ControlGlobal.com

...for someone not experienced with MES, I believe the book is valuable and on-target. For one, it's truly short enough to read in a few hours' plane ride, at 135 pages (before the bibliography, glossary and appendices which are important for learning). It delivers a practical framework to understand what MES is and the decisions a company will need to make.
