I have just been assigned to do Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) of our MES. (Which includes the ERP/MES, MES/HMI, and HMI/PLC interfaces). The Industrial engineers know exactly what I am talking about, since this is a common practice dating back to the 1960's. But I get blank stares from the IT folks. Most software engineers or IT people are not given any cross-disciplinary training in Industrial Engineering methods. - Bill Hullsiek Software Engineer
