Industrial Manufacturing - Assembled Products
Manufacturers of assembled products face daily challenges in their business operations, planning and supply chain:
- Component diversity, in-coming quality and supplier performance require constant diligence to assure product delivery and minimize risk
- Semi-automated production requires both connectivity and context for material management and end product traceability
- Mixed-mode demand for OEMs, direct-served customers, volume-based channel partners, and aftermarket spare parts complicates production planning and forecasting
- Customer requirements for tailored product variants require adaptable solutions capable of unprecedented responsiveness
- Collaboration between supply chain partners, planning function and production execution has become an imperative to success
- Product mix and changeover require an engaged, motivated and sustainable workforce with the ability to execute
