BUILD - Produce & Deliver
Today digital technology and collaboration are transforming manufacturers’ overall agility and ability to compete.
It’s now not just about optimising resources and physical components, it’s about optimising the knowledge resident across your extended enterprise.
Product makers have long recognised the value of automating the product development and manufacturing execution phases of the product lifecycle. They are just beginning, however, to bridge the gap between these two phases with systems that tie together the myriad activities involved in planning the process, resource and facility requirements for building a product.
The build phase of the product lifecycle, while more complex, costly and dynamic than other phases, is also less structured and less automated.
Technology solutions in this phase are typically "silos," encompassing such disciplines as quality validation, process improvement, plant design, resource management, and manufacturing simulation. By addressing isolated aspects of the manufacturing cycle, however, these individual solutions neither make efficient use of existing data nor produce information that can be leveraged in other applications.
Many aspects of the physical factory are now augmented, or even replaced, by the digital factory. What used to take months with traditional methods, now takes days, hours or even seconds. Teams must collaborate in order to succeed.
