One thing that almost every manufacturing company I speak to admits is the fact that they know they have duplicate parts within their system. The question that is difficult to answer is how big is the problem? Once you have duplicate parts buried in your ERP system with a different number from that of its peers how do you find it? And having found it what do you do with it?

On page 38, Chris expresses his viewpoint on PLM and why Viewing 2.0 is the way to go.
To follow up with my last post, we at Actify believe that success can only begin with user adoption. These users (the information worker) are the point where any and all success begins. These targeted users comprise the extended enterprise (potentially thousands of employees, contractors, customers, suppliers, and partners) and are a diverse group of skill sets with varying technical expertise from novice to technical engineers. The information worker needs the ability to efficiently leverage their expertise, whether legal, purchasing, sales, marketing, engineering, manufacturing or other, without restricted access due to application complexity. His/her success hinges on powerful technology being simple: from installation through ease-of-use; requiring minimal training; and adhering to industry standard support.

Faster, better, cheaper: It was and always will be the way to compete. Revolutionary technology advances and processes mean leaders have to spot new trends, initiate new products and embrace new markets with lightning-speed. To keep up with rapid industry changes, fierce competition, and short windows (time) of opportunity, companies must adapt quickly to the demands of the marketplace.

Viewing 2.0

I’ve been involved in the CAD/CAM/PLM industry since the late 70s, these days definitely classed as an industry veteran. One question I’m often asked by people in manufacturing organizations is why PLM has never delivered on its promises. For many years people have spoken about enterprise wide PLM as being the Nirvana to control and make available all the information around the product being manufactured. But if you search high and low, you will not find anyone that has a true enterprise wide deployment. Even organizations that may claim to have enterprise wide deployments have really only partially managed to reach this utopian end state.
