Centerlining, in simple terms, matrixes financial, quality,
and product dimensions which can be measured and managed. The simplest example of Centerlining would be
a Continuous Improvement project around quality. Understanding what affects quality (such as
purity of ingredients, length of time processing, specific ways of material
handling) makes it easier to establish the “norm” and thus manage the extent
that you’ll accept outlier behavior.
So how does #MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) and other
operations management solutions help with Centerlining?
