Benefit from sizeable cost savings that results from elimination of scrap, inventory and delays in projects
Create better connectivity and operational efficiency between engineering and downstream manufacturing
Get your engineers to focus on product development and innovation, not on data entry
Organizing Data to Enable Enterprise-wide Manufacturing IntelligenceNorthwest Analytics
Successful enterprise-wide manufacturing information and analytics systems require a consisten organization of data that can accommodate expansion and changes. Most enterprises end up patching together manufacturing and business databases based on the need of different applications These differences make it difficult to create useful reports, apply effective analytics, and adapt to changing conditions.
This webinar examines how to analyze data structure needs, design them to fit best practices, and produce a robust data structure that supports current and future manufacturing analytics requirements.

The global economy has been turbulent for the last couple of years but the automotive industry, in particular, has been encountering the most challenging environment. Market dynamics are changing rapidly, thus forcing the auto makers to change their business strategies and to implement them successfully in order to stay competitive. Auto parts makers are further squeezed as they need to satisfy more diverse product requirements with low room for errors in a relatively much shorter time span. As radical technological trends are inevitable, harnessing this opportunity will enable companies with innovative products to gain market share.
Since business revolves around the products or services a company offers, PLM could be the single most rewarding area to focus on in system implementation.
At the PPS Spring Conference in San Francisco Ed Arnold, VP of Products at LeveragePoint, delivered his presentation "Anyone Can Build a Value Model: Let Me Show You How". Designed to help the audience make better strategic decisions for their organization, he discussed:
- Key concepts for building a value model
- How to use value models to make strategic decisions and craft marketing messages
- How to use value models to create customer-facing value propositions to support sales in capturing value
The talk received a very positive response from the attendees. Enjoy the presentation!

Agile PLM implementation and systems integration at sun microsystemsulfkoester
SUN went through a significant IT improvement program in their Product Innovation processes, now covering the the complete product value chain with a complete, open and integrated solution. David was project leader for the SUN PLM transition project. In late 2009, Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems for $7.4B. As part of a large systems integration project, 2 instances of MatrixOne PDM were replaced with Agile PLM 9.3. The implementation began in January 2010 with Phase 1 going live on September 27, 2010. The first phase included core Agile PLM plus interfaces to mCAD and eCAD on the front end, and a downstream integration to Oracle's existing eBusiness Suite R12.1.3 via the Agile Design-to-Release Process Integration Pack (D2R PIP).
The project comprised 4 phases of which 3 are now live, realizing true "art-to-part" enterprise PLM. David's presentation will cover the business issues encountered at the beginning of the implementation, the implementation methodology, the IT Topology and lessons learned. Prior to Oracle, David managed PLM projects for Apple, Brocade, Kodak, SanDisk, Kyocera, HP and others. Before that he managed mechanical design teams at Ballard Power, Kodak and others, and ran his own consulting business. As an Engineer he started out designing mechanical parts and assemblies using 3D solid modeling CAD systems and manual drafting.
