To build a sustainable business in such an environment, a manufacturer has to do everything possible to lower the costs associated with production. One of the ways to reduce this cost is to optimize the usage of production assets as well as minimize the service cost and possibility of downtimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m your host, Kerri Doyle, and today I\u2019m joined by Yishai Barak, Director of SLM at Siemens Digital Industries Software. Also joining us is Ken Amann, Executive Consultant at CIMdata. The two experts will help us understand how service lifecycle management (SLM) transforms asset usage and maintenance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, you\u2019ll hear about SLM and the role it plays in optimizing asset-related costs. We\u2019ll also discuss the need for an open ecosystem that allows for seamless data flow and modular integration. You\u2019ll also learn about the benefits of SLM and the barriers faced by manufacturers wishing to deploy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-blue-color has-text-color\"><span style=\"text-decoration:
