I've started working on a massive MES project that involves hundreds of sites and a big SAP system as ERP.
While we were trying to identify business drives and project objectives the customer pointed out that "Having an MES would be the only way to give our large organization competitive edge over small businesses".
Currently every few site in this organization operates very similar to a small business. Of course this makes the organization very agile and flexible but at the same time not better than any small business competing with them.
If they can link their SAP to order executions in Sites, then potentially an order from customer can be fulfilled with resources available in any of sites. This should help them
This is exciting to me, as this is probably the first project for me where MES is a necessity to survive. At the same time it also mean unprecedented stress.

- Have lower quotes
- Full fill orders that single small business can't
- Provide equivalent or better flexibility to customer to edit orders
