This section discusses a German automotive company with manufacturing plants around the world. In the wake of digitalisation, the company opted to re-engineer and harmonise existing manufacturing execution systems (MES) in their automotive production to build a stable foundation for continuous innovation in the light of Industry 4.0. The enterprise sought to eliminate poor internal coordination in manufacturing across plants and to optimise processes on the shop floor. This objective was paramount because existing MES were heterogeneous and specific to each plant. Consequently, processes spanning several plants were extremely difficult to implement.
