Build more innovative products

The introduction of complex parts should not mean a more complexmanufacturing process. Streamline your manufacturing process so thatsophisticated products can be manufactured rapidly while achievingsuperior quality. Leverage product change, updates and dependenciesthroughout the manufacturing process concurrently, ensuring first-timequality and efficient use of production equipment.

Earn a higher return on your lean initiativesManufacturing produces orders of magnitude more data thanproduct engineering yet the interrelationships between these twodomains is critical for new product development and launch executionmodels to drive sustainable profit and growth. Synchronizing andre-using knowledge from these processes reduces waste acrossmultiple workflow domains and ensures that the right data isavailable at the right time.

Increase re-use of capital intensive investments andoptimize operationsA company’s biggest cost center – and that of its supply chain –is manufacturing. This investment goes beyond physical assets,labor and floor space.Manufacturing planning, process analysis,discrete simulation, prototyping and mockups all contribute to yourmanufacturing investments. By leveraging these investments acrossmultiple product programs, companies can significantly reduceproduction costs.

Maximize your outsourcing strategyMany companies are approaching global opportunity with a focuson outsourcing manufacturing. However,many of these relationshipsare underperforming because information is not communicated inan efficient manner. Siemens provides solutions to transform yourmanufacturing outsourcing strategy and align resources to captureinnovation from every contributor. Build quality and compliance intoyour processes. Visibility into the details of product manufacturing is

critical because quality problems and warranty costs can quickly erodeprofitability and impact customer satisfaction.Quality characteristics,process accountability and compliance throughout the manufacturingprocess allows full product and process genealogy and traceabilityfor all products, from planning to as-built data requirements.
