Integration Title: Integration Technology to Solve Business Problems in Manufacturing
Presenter: John M. Cachat, President, Silico Corp.
Synopsis: The software implemented to support manufacturing organizations has become very complicated and confusing. Millions of dollars are spent on these technologies, yet executives, managers and engineers find themselves overwhelmed by having to create and maintain spreadsheets to get the information they want, the way they want it. Non-value-added labor is consumed every day by entering, re-entering and checking between ERP, PLM, MES and QMS software tools. The previous software development paradigm, based on creating databases and elaborate software menus and screens, is obsolete. Software vendors must start with people and understand the business processes and cultural impacts, and address them up front as part of the improvement strategy. This webinar will cover the manufacturing software map, a case study based on the engineering change process and a discussion on the integration with your other software applications.
