CINCINNATI, OH -- 06/30/08 --
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, Inc. This is especially true for those
in aerospace and defense (A&D).
In a 30-minute recorded webinar released today by Cincom Systems,
"Understanding and Optimizing Engineering's Role in a Lean Value Chain"
(www.cincom.com/AandDengineering), Mike Burkett discusses specific
strategies aerospace and defense (A&D) manufacturing companies can take to
move their organization from having an internalized market focus to
becoming a lean, externally focused, value-driven enterprise.
Lean ERP focuses on attaining the highest levels of accuracy and replicable
quality possible in all sourcing, production and fulfillment activities.
This evolution is important since government programs are demanding more
risk-management from aerospace and defense vendors in regards to cost,
schedule and design. Engineers have a pivotal role in this evolution.
"In highly engineered, complex manufacturing environments," said 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.
