Solutions for Adaptive Operations Excellence
Manufacturing
Operations performance is a major topic of conversation in many manufacturing organizations today. The need to streamline and adapt to reduce time to market, eliminate waste and meet customer demand has quickened as a result of expanding global competition – coupled with rising customer expectations – forcing firms to critically evaluate the performance and agility of their operations. Complicating matters, the level of regulations and financial reporting requirements imposed upon manufacturers by both industry and government agencies are at unprecedented levels.
Today, organizations are struggling to answer the following questions:
- How do we effectively leverage our operations investments to meet changing customer demands or vendor supplies? (See Adaptive Manufacturing)
- How can we enhance our existing ERP system by collecting, analyzing and interpreting data from the shop floor, incorporating this information in our planning process? (See Extending the Value of ERP)
- Have we integrated production, maintenance and quality processes to eliminate waste, maximize output and minimize downtime, increasing overall operations performance? (See Lean Manufacturing)
- Do we have a closed-loop process between manufacturing, engineering and product development to better leverage ‘as built’ and ‘as designed’ product specs, enhancing the value of PLM initiatives to accelerate new product introduction and continuous improvement? (See Product Lifecycle Management)
- Can we better address regulatory policies to reduce their impact on operations performance while increasing visibility to the necessary data for reporting purposes? (See Regulatory Compliance)
