Solutions for the Industrial Equipment and Machinery Industry
The performance challenge
For industrial equipment and machinery manufacturers, performance requires delivering products that exactly meet customer specifications along with complementary services. Manufacturers have made impressive improvements in productivity, cycle times and quality 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-level efficiencies across the rest of the organization (sales, engineering, sourcing, transit, services) and out to all trading partners. The trend toward outsourcing exaggerates and complicates this effort. Weak links in any global operational process can undermine improvements elsewhere in the business. It requires a solution that can manage many different types of manufacturing modes and processes.
