Making the value of technology clear
How can manufacturers improve manufacturing engineering performance despite increased complexity? We surveyed 177 people involved in manufacturing engineering to find out. The results show that the leaders in manufacturing engineering have increased maturity in the way they plan, validate, and communicate manufacturing operations. These Top Performers waste less time on non-value-added activities, find issues sooner,…
What do manufacturers need in MES to be competitive both today and in the future? Hint: it goes well beyond strong functional support and into what may sound like buzzwords, but are truly crucial architectural elements. In this paper, we group them into three elements: digital thread-ready, personalized, and leveraging a comprehensive digital twin. Each…
How do Top Performing companies accelerate innovation? Can digitalization help? Product development teams face significant pressure to deliver high-quality, top-performing, innovative products. Yet, Top Performers achieve this better than their competitors, allowing them to accelerate innovation. Part of their superior performance is due to their ability to save time by quickly finding data, easily sharing…
How can manufacturers accelerate equipment quotes, design, and delivery without sacrificing performance and quality? What four disciplines do they need to digitally transform their design processes to move faster and get designs right the first time despite increasing complexity? Please enjoy the summary* below.

What strategies are companies adopting to ensure long-term business success and profitability as they experience constant business disruptions like COVID, supply chain instability, and now armed conflict in Ukraine? What impacts do these events, coupled with increased environmental, social, and governance (ESG) pressure, have on their business? How are they transforming to overcome growing risk?…
How do Top Performing companies get better results with their multi-disciplinary development projects? Projects involving multiple engineering disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, and software can be incredibly complex. How much time do team members waste searching for information, investigating and fixing errors, dealing with integration issues, working around poor architecture design choices, and redoing work…
