Innovation in global manufacturing: PLM makes manufacturing lines more competitive
|
Global manufacturing has become complex. Pressures have forced companies in the manufacturing industry to completely overhaul and re-engineer their design, development, and management processes to compete in the new marketplace. Companies need to improve tools, train staffs, and focus on creating products that will set them apart from competition. Manufacturers are driven by numerous competing forces, such as the demand for mass customization and the growing pressure to deliver products to market faster and at a lower cost.
Supply chains, equipment and resources need to be managed. Production schedules and logistics need to be organized. Most significantly, manufacturers need to be able to visualize the global picture and gain the control needed to make the right decisions.
