This week I took advantage of some free webinars being offered about the food industry. I was really intrigued by the Product Lifecycle Management for the Food Industry given by Greg Nutter of Lascom Solutions, through the Prepared Foods webinars.
Why was I intrigued? Well, some complaints you hear in manufacturing facilities are; you can never find the information you need (ie Sales won't give it to you) or that the other business departments don't understand. Or you may discover that the same product is made a different way at another facility. Or people are using different standards somewhere else! Or, that no one kept track of the way the process was set up when R&D or Sales did a last minute trial run.
Imagine being able to have all this information available easily and set up so that changes in spot initiate notices wherever else it may have an impact. Imagine being able to get your product to market faster because information is centralized. Wouldn't it be great to be able to see why things are being done the way they are? To be able to identify ways to improve and cut costs.
Check out the presentation on Product Lifecycle Management. The concept would fill many people's wishlists.
