Independent Business Consulting for Manufacturing Operations Management

When managing shop-floor operations, digital manufacturing software solutions bring tangible business value across production, quality, inventory, and maintenance. But for manufacturers to leverage this software they need to look beyond technology, at the people and processes they involve. This is where ATS Global can help through Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) consultancy and education.

ATS Global provides independent consultancy and education services focused on the business and IT steps required to meet industry challenges. When manufacturers assess their approach to digital transformation they rely on ATS Global’s holistic approach and decades of experience.

Our consultancy services are provided through MOMi, an expert division of ATS Global.
