HOW DO YOU MANAGE DESIGN IN A WORLD OF RAPID INNOVATION?
In a world where speed of innovation is critical and product lifecycles
short, many manufacturers suffer from process and systems integration issues.
There can also be a lack of communication between the engineers who design
products and those who manufacture them. Often parts may be re-designed
or re-worked without any feedback loop in place, meaning changes aren't
reflected through the supply chain, leading to time, cost and quality issues.
Additionally, there may be little objective measurement of the impact of
design and engineering alterations. As a result the hard evidence required
to confidently justify particular actions is unavailable.
Does this sound familiar?
They’re common problems, but by attending our live web event you’ll
discover how
leading UK manufacturers are benefiting from closed loop design manufacturing
with
a SAP All-in-One solution. By integrating PLM (Product Life Management)
throughout
organisations, this proven solution joins engineers with production and
end customers, creating a 360 degree view of the entire process. The web
event will also help you understand how SAP identifies and understands the
impact of ‘change’ throughout the supply chain, increasing efficiency
and maintaining quality standards.

Professor R Roy, MSc, PhD, CEng, MIED, ACostE, Professor of Decision
Engineering and Head of The Decision Engineering Centre, Manufacturing Department
at Cranfield University, discusses the issues and concerns facing UK Manufacturers
and offers best-practice advice in managing design and innovation. Focus
is placed on the need for process control from design to manufacture that
ensures operational efficiency and the importance of integration and transparency
throughout the supply chain.
DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING AND CONTINUOUS BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT
Tim Mayes, SAP Solutions Manager at CIBER UK, describes how SAP All-in-One
has helped leading mid-size manufacturers to facilitate real-time collaboration
