PLM Innovation 2010

As the World emerges from recession, for many companies PLM remains a key market differentiator. Join this series to gain visibility of companies successfully implementing PLM strategies, drawing from specific case study examples.
1. Using PLM to Maintain your Innovation Pipeline
Date: 1 Apr 2010
Time: TBC
In today's environment, enterprises must innovate to increase their market share and improve competitiveness. Companies who demonstrate continuous innovation can clearly differentiate themselves with "right-to-market" products and services. The ability to continuously innovate requires an environment that nurtures collaboration and PLM is the business strategy that best allows organizations to establish such an environment.
In this webinar we address how PLM brings together stakeholders to achieve enterprise wide collaboration and innovation.
2. Learn how PLM can drive innovation in the most demanding of environments
Date: 11 May 2010
Time: 3pm UK BST, 10am Eastern Daylight Time
Join Processia Solutions live from the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 HQ in the UK to learn how they have integrated PLM into one of the toughest, most demanding environments in the World.
In this session, you will learn:
- How McLaren have integrated PLM into their cutting edge design and manufacturing environments
- How PLM can harmonise dispirate processes to drive cost savings
- How even the most advanced operations can use PLM to improve performance
3. Enterprise Open Source PLM and Global Product Development at XEROX
Date: 30 Jun 2010
Time: 2pm Eastern Daylight Time, 11am Pacific Daylight Time
Find out how XEROX has transformed their worldwide product development process for office products using the enterprise open source PLM solution suite from Aras. Hear how multi-site processes like enterprise engineering change, product launch and compliance were quickly automated and connected with existing legacy systems for a comprehensive approach to cross-functional PLM.
In this session, you will learn:
- About today’s progressive PLM strategies and how to achieve results
- How XEROX took control of their own destiny and quickly accomplish PLM business objectives
- Why the elimination of PLM license costs with enterprise open source PLM is only the beginning of the enterprise-wide benefits
4. PLM, Green Product Design and Regulation
Date: 23 Sep 2010
Time:
Increasing environmental regulations are posing new challenges to manufacturers. PLM can help companies track compliance at product level and improve data analysis and reporting on the product lifecycle from conception to disposal and recycling.
In this webinar, we look at the regulations being introduced (such as REACH - Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), the business implications of failure to comply on product viability and how PLM offers the ideal toolset to manage compliance.
5. Creating a Virtual Design Environment
Date: 7 Oct 2010
Time: TBC
Computer simulation now gives manufacturers the ability to design and test in virtual environments. This can rapidly reduce time to market, increase cross enterprise knowledge sharing and ultimately reduce costs while increasing performance.
In this webinar we consider the implications of creating such an environment and clarify the significant benefits.
6. Establishing a PLM Roadmap
Date: 7 Nov 2010
Time: TBC
Whether in the early stage of PLM implementation or with a fully integrated solution, developing a robust long-term PLM strategy and vision are integral to success. This webinar addresses how to plan a goal oriented PLM solution from the selection stage through enterprise wide implementation.
This webinar will cover:
- Approaches to ensure that a PLM solution fulfils its objectives
- Challenges in the extended enterprise
- Prioritizing and targeting specific problems for PLM to address
