3640.0. ""Process (shop floor) control" manager for interview" by QUARK::LIONEL (Free advice is worth every cent) Mon Jan 16 1995 17:14

I was approached by the editor of "Control Magazine", which apparently
caters to the process control industry, for an interview about Digital products
(and the OpenVMS operating system) for use in manufacturing floor applications.
(I think he asked me because I've begun popping up in the CompuServe VAX Forum.)

I know that I am *NOT* the right person for him to talk to, but I've drawn
a blank at trying to figure out who might be.  Any suggestions as to would
be appropriate?  I'd think some sort of product manager or industry segment
manager would be reasonable.

3640.1	Try Dave Allen	GLDOA::WERNER		`Mon Jan 16 1995 17:36`	6
	I believe that David Allen @MRO DTN 297-9162 is the shop floor guy who should field this request. At least he was the last time that I needed something like that. I looked Dave up in elf and this is the entry that made sense to me as far as location goes. -OFWAMI-
3640.2		VMSVTP::S_WATTUM	OSI Applications Engineering, West	`Mon Jan 16 1995 18:57`	8
	Hmmm. Don't know if this is a good pointer or not, but you might want to talk to Judy Cross (DELNI::CROSS), the product manager of DECnet/OSI for OpenVMS. The reason I suggest her, is I think we have a few customers that use OSI, and our OSI product set in the manufacturing environment (I think one of our customers does something with our stuff for Saturn, don't know all of the details though). --Scott
3640.3		ULYSSE::BUXTON_M	A black belt in Kno Kan Doo	`Tue Jan 17 1995 04:31`	8
	You could also try Linda Feldeisen (STOWOA::FELDEISEN), Linda is the product manager for the BASEstar suite of CIM products. Helpfully yours, Mark.
3640.4		QUARK::LIONEL	Free advice is worth every cent	`Tue Jan 17 1995 09:43`	3
	Thanks, I've now got lots of pointers. Steve
3640.5	One more contact....	MR4DEC::DTOMPKINS		`Tue Jan 17 1995 09:48`	6
	David Allen is a good contact for discrete manufacturing applications. His counterpart for process manufacturing is Randy Levine DTN 297-6255. Randy is my boss; we've met with the editors and local salespeople for Control on more than one occasion. Dennisf
3640.6	also try DEC manufacturing	RANGER::BRADLEY	Chuck Bradley	`Tue Jan 17 1995 13:13`	7
	I do not have a name, but another possible direction. Get someone from manufacturing. DEC had (has) some plants that are rated grade A at MRPII. The magazine caters more to implementors than to developers, so a combination of users and development could attract a lot of attention. This is a fine opportunity.
3640.7	BASEstar Open	CESARE::GORRINO	Sagrinte nen	`Wed Jan 18 1995 03:58`	6
	You should contact someone from BASEstar Open. The product managers are Nancy Gustavesen (angst::gustavesen) and Anthony Carpenter (varese::carpenter). Mauro
3640.8		QUARK::LIONEL	Free advice is worth every cent	`Wed Jan 18 1995 13:16`	5
	The editor wrote back to me and said his deadline was approaching so he couldn't use any more info, though he had heard from Randy Levine, at least. I also heard from someone in corporate PR who will keep in touch. Steve
