Increasing Engineering Productivity through Process Automation
Sponsored by:
Scott Hale, Director, Consulting Services,
IMAGINiT Technologies
Studies show that as little as 4% of your existing processes can account for “up to 50% of the inefficiencies”.
This Presentation will focus on identifying and targeting those areas that represent the 4% within your design process that can yield exponential productivity gains if eliminated though automation. You will also learn what steps to take in order to resolve the issues, and increase engineering throughput to the shop floor.
Process automation is not only restricted to the engineering department, automating the Sales Configuration and Engineer-to-order processes will also be key topics addressed.
