Cincom Systems releases webinar on engineers’ role in lean ERP
For manufacturing companies striving for lean ERP, the ability to embrace product and engineering changes is central to achieving responsiveness to demand, according to Mike Burkett, Vice President of Research, AMR Research. This is especially true for those in aerospace and defence (A&D).
In a 30-minute recorded webinar released by Cincom Systems , understanding and optimising engineering’s role in a lean value chain, Mike Burkett discusses specific strategies aerospace and defence (A&D) manufacturing companies can take to move their organisation from having an internalised market focus to becoming a lean, externally focused, value-driven enterprise.
Lean ERP focuses on attaining high levels of accuracy and replicable quality possible in all sourcing, production and fulfilment activities. This evolution is important since government programs are demanding more risk-management from aerospace and defence vendors in regards to cost, schedule and design. Engineers have a pivotal role in this evolution.
“In highly engineered, complex manufacturing environments,” said Mike Burkett, “constant change around design has a direct impact on how lean you can actually be.” Mike Burkett’s strategies can help achieve 50% to 90% increases in requests of quote and engineering change-order response time, up to 90% reductions in order errors and as much as 80% cost reductions in documentation.
