Government Contracting

Manufacturing does not have to be the primary source of profit for government contractors, but if it’s not managed with the three pillars of success in mind, it could invite increased scrutiny from contracting agencies. Learn what it means to “get it right” in the areas of engineering services or discrete manufacturing through the tenets of quality, traceability and efficiency.

The Deltek Clarity Government Contracting Industry Study expanded its coverage in 2019 with the addition of both procurement and manufacturing results, trends and challenges. Findings in each business areas reinforce the bullish market sentiments found throughout the Study, including more contract dollars and manufacturing orders and output than in previous years.

Manufacturing improvements always start in the same place… with data. Discover the information manufacturing execution systems (MES) gather and analyze to expose and correct inefficiencies, improve margins and better decision making.

What happens when a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and inventory system achieve synergy? The flow of materials and all of the information surrounding them becomes more transparent and seamless.

When it comes to production quality management for complex products, here are the territories covered by Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and the factors considered in the rework versus scrap decision.

Let’s face it, the procurement process can be unpredictable. Just when it seems everything is in place, a supplier misses a deadline. Discover how procurement software can increase visibility and efficiency to minimize missteps.

Catch a glimpse of how a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) can work with ERP to centralize project resource and requirement information, improve tracking and provide new levels of project detail.

Why Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are important for engineering change management, and how they help to avoid increased costs associated with delays.

Learn the eight common capabilities you get when you cross reference the required capabilities of a manufacturing execution system (MES) system with the MESA, ISA-95 and ISO-9001 frameworks. 

Complex discrete manufacturers generate products within a variety of industries. Typically, production is complex, with specific, yet diverse, configurations, and long lifecycles. Here we take a look at how Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) factor in and organize processes.
