FlexNet Global Manufacturing Suite

Global Process Manager

Define Best Practices Locally, Deploy Globally
A process and product lifecycle execution application, FlexNet® Global Process Manager enables you to more easily manage and control change in your execution operations, and accelerate new product introduction and time-to-volume production by integrating with and managing operational data across the supply network. Quite simply, it is designed to ensure that the right documents and work instructions are at the right place when needed.  With Global Process Manager, you can manage process and product changes driven by design integrity, inventory, cost control, mandates, compliance, and other issues. The system can also be configured for document control, and incorporates a two-level process.

The module leverages the latest BPM (business process management) technology.  Using Process Builder™, Apriso’s proprietary authoring tool, process owners can build ‘flows’ using a drag-and-drop interface and deploy them to specific work stations or throughout the enterprise, without re-coding or bringing the system down.  Best practices can be developed and refined in one location, and deployed to several locations, quickly and easily.

And, when you need to update configurations across your network of FlexNet deployments, Global Process Manager automatically gathers together that information into electronic ‘packages.’  Then, you can deploy those packages by email to your various FlexNet systems, making a once-tedious and time-consuming task simpler and easier.

Global Process Manager maintains history on “as-designed,” “as-built,” “as-deployed,” and “as-maintained” data, and enables electronic revision control and approval while supporting global deployment of best practices. In addition, the system takes full advantage of FlexNet’s language and time zone globalization features and integrates with third-party PLM/PDM systems.
