Engineering Process Management

Take control of your product knowledge, engineering change processes, and supplier collaboration.

If you’ve gone from centralized product development to working with global partners and suppliers, you may be struggling to keep track of the fragments of engineering data scattered around the world. In this environment, how do you maintain control of your company’s most precious asset – its product knowledge? How do you leverage your engineering data to re-use what’s good and improve what’s bad? How do you make the most of your product investments?

“Companies that are able to leverage their global investment are able to sustain profit levels far ahead of their competitors with higher growth and returns on asset and invested capital.” (Deloitte Research, “Unlocking the value of Globalization”) In many of the global organizations surveyed by Deloitte, the value loss from sub-optimization was 50% or more of bottom line profits. In some cases leaders were as much as 73% more profitable.

If you want to make the most of your product knowledge, you need to take a holistic view of your extended product development network. You need to take control with a centralized engineering process management system to consistently handle product information.
