The aim of Körber’s MBR Design Challenge is to encourage end users to utilize Werum PAS-X MES in the most efficient way, to facilitate understanding of the system, to optimally leverage MBR development and to avoid potential design negligence on a larger scale. In addition, the Körber software experts gain further insights in the way customers use Werum PAS-X MES and the MBR design features, providing valuable feedback on how to improve user experience in the future.
All participants were expected to solve different tasks like creating a detailed MBR, finding errors in an MBR, improving a sub-optimally designed MBR and taking a quiz around MBR design and business processes. The challenge itself and the award ceremony were conducted virtually, due to the global pandemic.
