Closing the Gap on Digital Manufacturing
The concurrent engineering required for new product designs between design
engineering and manufacturing engineering has always been a critical
focal point for manufacturers to shorten time-to-market, accelerate time-tovolume,
and minimize cost of production. Today, collaboration between
product design (CAD) and manufacturing processes
(CAM) is a robust process due to tight
integration between CAD and CAM and the emergence
of extended PDM and PLM systems.
However, there has not been a corresponding
level of tight integration between CAD/CAM and
production management. But the benefits of exchanging
information between the product
definition domain and production management are becoming clear as
manufacturers move to a collaborative environment. Two leading PLM
suppliers, EDS and IBM/Dassault, have recently launched new programs
to integrate these disparate domains.

End users today have a paradoxical relationship with their suppliers. Primary
business drivers in today’s environment include maximizing asset

purchasing strategies and supplier relationship management strategies developed
during the heyday of the 1980s. Rather than
focusing on achievement of today’s objectives, the
current environment is characterized by an approach
that relies primarily on initial cost, driving discounts
off list price, and failure to employ a lifecycle costing
perspective.
Conoco on Path to Reliability Centered Loop Management: Enhancing ROA on the WayARC Advisory Group
Conoco on Path to Reliability Centered Loop Management: Enhancing ROA on the Way
Process manufacturers have invested heavily in manufacturing plants and
automation systems. A typical manufacturing plant may have hundreds or
even thousands of regulatory control loops to enable safe and efficient operations.
The most complex units often have advanced process control and
optimization schemes implemented on top of these regulatory control
loops. All of these systems have a need for
tighter process control to enable more effective
use of assets that result in higher ROA and ultimately
better business performance and
profitability.
Unfortunately, automation effectiveness deteriorates
over time. The lack of a structured
methodology for control loop maintenance is a
contributing factor that erodes performance. A
manufacturing plant typically has only two or three control engineers who
each have responsibility for a large of number of loops, yet they often have
no means of identifying where to focus their efforts so that their work has
the largest economic impact on plant performance.

Collaborative Asset Lifecycle Management Vision and StrategiesARC Advisory Group
Collaborative Asset Lifecycle Management Vision and Strategies
Capital asset management is once again becoming a key managerial concern.
Organizations that have been focusing on developing new products,
expanding services, and making supply chains super-efficient are now facing
challenging markets and expensive overcapacity. Survival demands
that they reduce their cost basis and capital assets, one of their largest expenses,
which are becoming the target for these efforts.
Discussions about postponing asset purchases and eliminating non-critical
assets are dominating many executive agendas. But lack of information
makes any decision a gamble. The importance of an effective capital asset
management strategy that minimizes the need for such discussions and
enables executives to confidently make necessary
decisions is becoming painfully clear.
Manufacturers are used to market swings and frequently
adjust their product inventories to match
reduced demand forecasts. The rapidity of this
“inventory alignment” for the current situation is
clear testament to the effectiveness of new supply
chain management technology. But the persistence
of this slowdown is forcing all organizations
to consider the more complex issue of “structural

With the war in Iraq, stumbling European economies and a mysterious flulike

finally proved that it’s ready to conquer the factory

Capital Expenditure Survey 2003
Capital spending continues to decline in nearly all industries, continuing a
trend that began in the mid-1990s when manufacturing productivity began
to increase markedly. The continuing uncertainty in most economies has
put pressure on manufacturers to cut spending, resulting in a steady decline
for several years now despite increasing revenues. Helping to fuel the
cost-cutting fire are the mega-mergers between industrial giants that have
racked up billions in savings as companies increase their manufacturing
economies of scale and eliminate duplicate functions.
ARC’s CapEx index tracks capital expenditures, total revenue, total assets,
EBIT, and return on assets (ROA) for 56 companies in 10 target industries,
representing $2.4 trillion in annual revenue. Companies in the index
generate revenue from most global markets and many
spread their manufacturing around the globe. Of the 56
companies, 64 percent have their headquarters in North
America, 27 percent in Europe, and 9 percent in Asia.

Closing the Gap on Digital Manufacturing
1. THOUGHT LEADERS FOR MANUFACTURING & SUPPLY CHAIN
ARC INSIGHTS
By John Moore
A critical and often broken link in
manufacturing today is the link between
design and manufacturing processes. The
lack of a tight link hinders responsiveness
to market needs. IBM/Dassault and EDS,
two of the leading PLM suppliers, seek to
address this issue through partners.

Closing the Gap on Digital Manufacturing
Keywords
PLM, CAD/CAM, CPM, IBM, EDS
Summary
The concurrent engineering required for new product designs between de-
sign engineering and manufacturing engineering has always been a critical
focal point for manufacturers to shorten time-to-market, accelerate time-to-
volume, and minimize cost of production. Today, collaboration between
product design (CAD) and manufacturing proc-
esses (CAM) is a robust process due to tight
integration between CAD and CAM and the emer-
gence of extended PDM and PLM systems.
However, there has not been a corresponding
level of tight integration between CAD/CAM and
production management. But the benefits of ex-
changing information between the product
definition domain and production management are becoming clear as
manufacturers move to a collaborative environment. Two leading PLM
suppliers, EDS and IBM/Dassault, have recently launched new programs
to integrate these disparate domains.
Analysis
Manufacturers are under pressure to accelerate the design, production, and
marketing of new products to retain customers and gain new ones. Subse-
quently, manufacturers have made enormous technology investments in
enterprise software and factory automation. As a result, virtually all indus-
tries have seen impressive productivity gains, but companies must
continually seek new ways to improve their numerous business processes
to gain that critical competitive advantage.
Toward that end, leading companies like Boeing, DaimlerChrysler, and GM
are pursuing a vision of digital manufacturing, encompassing everything
from initial design through production and service. This will be addressed
through a digital information pipeline that will automate numerous proc-
