An Evolved Manufacturing Strategy

Posted July 21, 2008 8:20 AM

A recent article summarized the evolution of digital manufacturing from CIM (computer-integrated manufacturing) and CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/manufacturing) to the enterprise-wide notion of PLM (product lifecycle management). Adopting a PLM strategy can lead to accelerated business processes, better departmental collaboration, and shorter time-to-market. Is your company moving towards this integrated approach? What gets in the way?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Supply Chain Management, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Supply Chain Management today.
