There are no prototypes. There is no series to the product line. Volume is low with just two to three produced each year. Lead times are long \u2013 between three and a half to seven years. Yet the product development objectives are the same as most manufacturers:<BR \/><UL><BR \/>\t<LI>Reduce lead time<\/LI><BR \/>\t<LI>Manage higher output<\/LI><BR \/>\t<LI>Be more efficient with engineering resources<\/LI><BR \/><\/UL><BR \/>Learn more in my video interview with Klaus:<!--more--><BR \/><BR \/>http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9DRor2BsXAM<BR \/><BR \/><DIV style=\"background-color: #F9F9F9;border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;padding: 3px;font: 11px\/1.4em Arial, sans-serif;margin: 0.5em 0pt 0.5em 0.8em;width:500px;\"><IMG alt=\"bert geisler outlines Siemens' shipbuilding industry catalyst\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3819\/9677955741_9aeea9a8bd.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><DIV style=\"text-align:center;\"> Bert Geisler, Siemens PLM Software<\/DIV> <\/DIV><BR \/><BR \/>Our own Bert Geisler (above) presented on our <A href=\"http:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/en_us\/marine\/shipbuilding-catalyst\/index.cfm\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Shipbuilding Catalyst<\/A> for the marine industry at the analyst event.
