These tools reduce the expense of organizing, storing, retrieving, and controlling product and production data. Most large A&D companies have also deployed PLM-based tools and methods to manage and control the export of technical data and commodities. Many small- and medium sized manufacturers have found the tools large manufacturers use to be prohibitively expensive. Few can afford the disruption or the overhead cost of configuring and deploying these systems, and few can afford to hire employees whose sole focus is process improvement and data management. Hiring management consultants to execute deployment projects is rarely an option. Solution: Connecticut Manufacturing Resource Center (CMRC) Working with a team of industry experts, the University of Connecticut has created a resource center designed to help small- and medium-sized supply chain manufacturers affordably:
The Connecticut Manufacturing Resource Center was created to augment existing workforce development and technology enhancement initiatives. This July 22nd webinar will provide:
An important outcome of this webinar will be an overall assessment of where NMC members are with respect to data management and PLM/PDM, ERP, and MES utilization, a better understanding of your needs and constraints, and a clearer picture of how we might help you compete effectively in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.
