We’re living in a time where change happens fast. Whether it’s directed by the needs of consumers, changes in regulation or worldwide events like a pandemic, industries of every persuasion require the ability to adapt swiftly. When a single change to a product translates to hundreds, even thousands, of alterations in manufacturing specifications and procedures, how does an organization make those changes without significant financial consequences?
This is where product lifecycle intelligence comes into play. An integrated program including lifecycle management, smart product, and process design, and production design optimization is the difference between potentially crippling product alterations and seamless adaptation.
Riding the heels of our last episode, we’re back with Suzanne Kopcha who is responsible for industry strategy for consumer products, and Alastair Orchard, one of the first to shape the company's digital enterprise portfolio. Today, we’re taking a deep dive into the digital threads that are helping companies stay competitive in a rapidly changing marketplace.
Some Questions I Ask:
Can you tell us how smart product and process design works? (5:52)
How is the apparel industry adjusting to the current market? (13:38)
How do we create a completely integrated, seamless digital thread? (19:37)
What You’ll Learn in this Episode:
How digital threads can be applied to products outside of the consumer market (1:02)
A detailed explanation of the digital threads and their benefits (2:57)
How a single change can ripple through the production process, and why traceability is so valuable (10:37)
Why production design optimization presents a huge opportunity (14:33)
Why digitalization shorted the gap between manufacturability and manufacturing efficiency (17:34)
