Seven ways to have better product-centric trading-partner relationshipsThis webcast is available on demand. Register today and watch at your convenience through June 5, 2009.
 Understand the challenges and opportunities of information management in outsourcing product design and manufacture
Until recently, the manufacturing enterprise was mostly found within the four walls of a company—making visibility and control relatively easy. Today, however, small to midsize manufacturers are as likely to participate in multiple global supply chains.
A recent survey—conducted by Manufacturing Business Technology and sponsored by Siemens PLM Software—gauged the opportunities and challenges associated with these emerging “value chains,†including use of information technology to manage collaborative relationships among trading partners that extend to research and product design, as well as manufacturing, distribution, and service.
The survey asked whether midsize manufacturing enterprises today have the visibility, workflows, and business processes in place to expeditiously accomplish value-chain coordination in product development and manufacture.
Tune into this MBT Executive Broadcast to learn how your company fares in relation to its peers, and at least seven ways that management of product-centric trading-partner relationships can be enhanced.
This broadcast reviews the results of the survey and documents a series of recommended approaches to address the current environment. Included will be relevant and useful tips on how to enhance supply chain collaboration. The expert panel also will forecast how your company should manage the value-chain in an era of globalization.
You will learn how you can:
Maximize the reuse of existing designs to reduce development costs through:
- Â Â Â Shared source of product data
- Â Â Â Controlled Documentation
Work collaboratively with remote suppliers/customers to deliver products on time through:
- Â Â Â Collaborative RFQ/bid processes
- Â Â Â Managed Analysis
Manage the engineering change process to enhance product quality through:
- Â Â Â Virtual Design Review
- Â Â Â Electronic workflow
- Â Â Â Associative Manufacturing
