Tecnomatix 9<\/A> is all about improving productivity in planning and manufacturing. But why is that important to our customers?
Let\u2019s first have a look at the challenges manufacturing companies face today. In a recent paper<\/A> on manufacturing productivity, Michelle M. Boucher, a research analyst from Aberdeen<\/A> talks about the obstacles that manufacturing companies face on a daily basis \u2013 such as, shorter development schedules, engineering creating parts with limited insight into Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM), design data that changes right up until product release, and the constant pressure to reduce overall manufacturing costs.
We had the chance to talk to Michelle about manufacturing productivity and what best-in-class companies doing to be more productive than their peers.
