IT leaders working in high value manufacturing tell us how pervasive the role of IT is across their business and how critical it is to enhancing their business performance.
They tell us that their colleagues are looking to them to innovate; to help create new sales channels, new product capabilities and product differentiation while under constant pressure to transmit, store and process increasingly large amounts of data and information.
Delivering information and knowledge to the key business functions of design, production and distribution is vital through:
Corporate systems
Enterprise resource planning (ERP), Supply chain management (SCM) and customer relationship management (CRM)
Manufacturing systems
Product lifecycle management (PLM), computer assisted design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) and process execution
Control systems
Programmable logic controllers (PLC’s), robots and other hardware enabled machines and equipment
Monitoring and surveillance systems
