Smart, Configure-to-Order (CTO) and Engineering-to-Order (ETO) manufacturers are turning to lean manufacturing techniques and Design Anywhere Manufacture Anywhere (DAMA) strategies for a competitive advantage. These strategic changes, though necessary, present many challenges. The resulting globally integrated complex product development environment can affect the consistency and quality of design and manufacturing processes.
This program/project management solution helps CTO and ETO program and project managers deliver products faster. Management can make better decisions by accessing real-time information, via dashboards, on project status (e.g., schedule, resources, costs and benefits).
Globally dispersed users can increase productivity through more effective collaboration. This is based on their ability to access more accurate information, updated automatically. Also, pre-defined project templates improve predictability.
Project management is an integral part of the product development process. Much more than an oversight activity, it has significant input and output that impacts both the process and the product.
