DETAILS:

Competition is intense. Product development is global. Today, organizations are being asked to do more with fewer resources. Product complexity is increasing while product lifecycles are compressing. To compete, manufacturers must increase the rate of product innovation and accelerate time to market, while tightly managing costs and relentlessly driving quality. At the same time, manufacturers must comply with an increasing number of standards and regulations. For most, trying to manage this level of complexity and collaboration with Office software is a ticking time bomb—the difference between success and failure.

In this upcoming webinar, Hammerhead Systems shares the impetus behind their migration from using Excel and QuickBooks to adopting an integrated PLM/ERP solution, and the financial benefits they achieved as a result.

In addition, during the one-hour webinar, experts from Arena Solutions and Expandable will walk you through tips on how to:

• Prevent product change errors
• Meet cost targets and delivery dates for new product introductions
• Improve planning and material scheduling
• Strengthen relationships with customers and partners
