Mestec MES selected by Thales Aerospace to provide efficiency and product integrity (Jul 2006)Mestec announced today that it has won a deal to implement its Mestec MES system across three major avionics equipment manufacturing projects at Thales Aerospace.“As part of our UK restructuring programme we have recently relocated our manufacturing operations from Raynes Park in London up to Leicester” states Shaun Jones, Operations Director at Thales Aerospace. “Consolidation of resources and operational cost savings are key to our future success as a leading player in the global aerospace and defence markets. And the deployment of the Mestec Manufacturing Execution System plays a key part in our strive towards operational and commercial excellence.”
“The system eliminates the wasteful non value-add activities associated with running the plant using the old traditional methods such as paper and spreadsheets,” continues Shaun, “it can integrate and extend our ERP system onto the shop-floor, provide us with realtime up-to-the-minute views on job progress, alerts us of quality and productivity issues before they become costly, and basically provides us with a dependable platform to ensure product integrity.”
“In terms of the product itself, I believe that the Mestec system can make a significant positive impact to most manufacturing organisations. And in terms of the Mestec service; the implementation consultancy and the after sales customer support has been of a high standard”, concluded Shaun Jones.About Thales AerospaceThales’ Aerospace Division was established in July 2004, combining operations and teams from Thales Airborne Systems, Thales Avionics, Thales Computers, Thales Microelectronics and Thales MESL.
