For those that are new to the manufacturing operations management space, this broad range of acronyms can be daunting.

The manufacturing operations management (MOM) space has evolved considerably over time, now encompassing a broad collection of what were once individually targeted applications to solve very specific manufacturing problems. Today, the trend is towards larger integrated suites of application functionality.

These suites come in the form of extensions to ERP platforms, as well as part of comprehensive MOM software and manufacturing execution system (MES) platforms. Even with this evolution, the names and acronyms describing each application still exist, which can make staring at a page of today’s MOM applications feel a little like getting lost in a bowl of alphabet soup!
