Solutions for the Industrial
Equipment and Machinery Industry
The performance challenge For industrial equipment and machinery manufacturers, performance requires deliveringproducts that exactly meet customer specifications along with complementary services.Manufacturers have made impressive improvements in productivity, cycle times andquality on the plant floor. But costs can remain unnecessarily high because of delays,changes or estimating errors. The challenge now is to extend and synchronize plant-levelefficiencies across the rest of the organization (sales, engineering, sourcing, transit,services) and out to all trading partners. The trend toward outsourcing exaggerates andcomplicates this effort. Weak links in any global operational process can undermineimprovements elsewhere in the business. It requires a solution that can manage manydifferent types of manufacturing modes and processes.
