Improving Product Quality with Flexible Automation & Software
|
| Company: | Adept Technology Inc |
| With recalls taking center stage in today’s media, manufacturers must closely evaluate the cost of poor quality (CoPQ) to their business. CoPQ is typically defined as the costs that would disappear if your manufacturing process was perfect. These costs include lost goodwill and expenses incurred from replacement, refund, rework, and scrapping. It has been estimated that CoPQ amounts to approximately 5-30 percent of a manufacturer’s gross sales. This means CoPQ is costing manufacturers millions per year and therefore every executive should recognize that quality must be addressed to remain competitive. In industries where the price of product is the most prevailing factor, quality can be a significant differentiator and can either help or hurt your reputation as a manufacturer. |

|
| Company: | Cisco-Eagle |
| For Cisco-Eagle, as with any company, maintaining consistent, timely and accurate customer data is a mission critical goal. But with a diverse customer base of approximately 9,000 clients ranging from Texas Instruments to Wal-Mart to General Electric, Cisco-Eagle found that inconsistencies across interdepartmental groups, particularly between the marketing and sales departments, in the way customer information was being entered, stored and tracked was leading to tens of thousands of dollars in avoidable expenses and even more in lost revenue. |

Rugged Ridge Floormats
|
| Omix-Ada is the premier manufacturer of Jeep replacement,
restoration and accessory products, including the Rugged
Ridge accessory line of floormats. Currently, Jeep floormats
are either “carpet,” thermoformed rubber that fits the car, or
“deep” all-weather flat floormats that are not formed to fit.
Omix-Ada wanted to combine the advantages of both types
of mats to create OEM-quality mats that are both formed to
the vehicle and deep. However, they needed help in both
capturing the exact cab floor geometry and in incorporating
their design ideas into a manufacturable CAD model to
create tooling for the new floormats. |

ERP and PLM: Defining Their Roles and Creating a Collaborative Environment for Success
|
| Manufacturers' business needs have changed significantly over the past several years, evolving the roles that technology plays within the manufacturing process. Two key technologies, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Product Life-cycle Management (PLM), have developed into critical success factors for manufacturers. Each technology brings unique value to the enterprise, and when combined, ERP and PLM provide a wholly collaborative environment that has a major impact on successful product development performance and the ability to maintain a competitive advantage. |
