Make to Order Production Agility
Companies face incredible time to market expectations in today’s on-demand marketplace. Meeting customer expectations now requires “make to order” production agility, as well as increased on-time delivery and an ability to respond quickly when orders are changed.
To meet these challenging production requirements, companies are being forced to gain real-time visibility and control throughout their operations. In addition, they must close the loop between their ERP systems and manufacturing systems, as well as customers and suppliers.
Integration of Quality Management
Poor product quality has significant ramifications to a manufacturer, in failing to meet consumer demands, in the operational disruption it causes, and in the various costs associated with waste. As a result, companies are launching efforts to visualize and manage their production quality in a much more comprehensive and consistent way.
To date, quality efforts have been “siloed” across plant floor SPC, process quality capabilities, and enterprise quality – reducing the ability to make significant performance improvements. Intelligent Manufacturing solutions provide integrated quality management to ensure you products are produced “right the first time”.
