Being able to \u201ccode\u201d expertise allows the rapid transfer of know-how between users, which isn\u2019t typically possible with standard applications. The right MOM software can modify existing features and develop new functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Maintain personnel technology skills and reduce training costs<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most applications are customized to satisfy specific needs, and as a result, the person with the most know-how is frequently used to develop and maintain these applications. This type of competence is difficult and expensive to maintain. By adopting a MOM solution that covers all functionalities in an integrated environment, complex manufacturing systems can be implemented with ease, making the involved tasks possible for everyone, including users with basic skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) with easy IT compatibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the right MOM solution should be able to connect and interact with external and legacy IT systems with little to no challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once in place, it begins working to solve common <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/2022\/05\/17\/manufacturing-operations-management-5-business-challenges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">business problems<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/2022\/05\/24\/improve-production-with-manufacturing-operations-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">production challenges<\/a>, and IT issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/2022\/06\/07\/9-functions-manufacturing-execution-software-mes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">right MOM solution <\/a>has built-in scalability, allowing for tailored investment and maintenance according to case-by-case requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go more in-depth with Opcenter, a Manufacturing Operations Management solution, in this comprehensive white paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size\" style=\"font-size:25px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/go.sw.siemens.com\/feSMSYzL\" style=\"border-radius:100px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Opcenter Execution Discrete<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manufacturers strive for optimal quality and production efficiency across all global facilities, and to successfully accomplish this, they need the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79498,"featured_media":119,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spanish_translation":"","french_translation":"","german_translation":"","italian_translation":"","polish_translation":"","japanese_translation":"","chinese_translation":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[320,321,323,322],"industry":[14,13],"product":[129],"coauthors":[311],"class_list":["post-116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-manufacturing-operations-management","tag-mom","tag-opcenter","tag-opcenter-execution-discrete","industry-industrial-machinery","industry-industrial-machinery-heavy-equipment","product-opcenter-execution-discrete"],"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2022\/05\/044.009_Image-1920x1080_Blog3_OpcenterExecutionDiscrete.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/79498"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":391,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116\/revisions\/391"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=116"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=116"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
