§ MES Selection & Rollout

MES selection that doesn't sell you a demo  choose on operator fit, not slideware

Most manufacturers pick an MES vendor based on the wrong criteria. I help you shortlist, score, and contract on what actually matters: adoption, maintainability, and fit to your floor.

Built on 20 years on UK plant floors — including work for a leading British aerospace manufacturer and others, referenced by industry under NDA.

Who this is for

  • First-time MES buyers needing a vendor-neutral process
  • Teams replacing an MES that didn't take after go-live
  • Post-merger integration requiring system consolidation
  • Organisations preparing a capital request with ROI ranges

How it works

  1. 01

    Interview your leadership and shop-floor stakeholders to capture requirements

  2. 02

    Build a scoring matrix that weights adoption and TCO over features

  3. 03

    Run reference checks — talk to people who've used the system live

  4. 04

    Support contract review (commercial, not legal) and final decision
