Servicing Medical Equipment: World Class Service Management for Medical Equipment extends prior research on world class service management to the medical device industry. The research suggests that there are two fundamentals that service organizations must master to rise above the competition - operational control of service operations and equipment intelligence. The paper discusses how medical device manufacturers can leverage lessons learned from other service-oriented industries as competition heats up in their own markets. At the same time, the paper points out distinct differences between servicing industrial equipment or consumer products and the healthcare industry, which requires additional rigor due to the need to protect patient welfare and meet regulatory requirements.

[post_content] => An interview of Jim Brown by Dora Smith from Siemens PLM in 2010, highlighting the research Tech-Clarity is focusing on and Jim's views on the PLM market, social computing, and more.
Leveraging the Digital Factory: Enhancing Productivity from Operator to Enterprise provides visibility to the way manufacturers utilize Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) processes and solutions to help reduce cost, speed time to market, and improve product quality. The paper features interviews from companies that are leveraging MPM to digitally prototype plant layouts, material flow, production lines, workstations, and work assignments to perfect plans before committing to physical changes - resulting in efficient plants and processes that work the first time. MPM, also known as Digital Manufacturing, is an important element of any PLM strategy.
Please enjoy the free Executive Summary below, or click the report title above to download the full PDF (free of charge, no registration required). Special thanks to Proplanner and Autodesk for their support and for providing introductions to their customers. The interviews provide real-world examples for other manufacturers as they develop their own MPM and PLM strategies.
