Powering the Business of Engineering for Automotive Suppliers - May 18, 2017
Automotive product teams are continually challenged to remain competitive, optimize operational efficiencies, and achieve profitability. What have the world’s leading automotive manufacturers and suppliers discovered about using product lifecycle management (PLM) to manage the business of engineering? Leading organizations respond with advanced PLM platform capabilities to orchestrate the full spectrum of activities starting with the quoting process and going all the way through production and into lessons learned. This webinar showcases how to power the business of engineering with a common digital platform to ensure process repeatability and collaboration, establish unified data access, and deliver instant program metrics and insights.
What will I learn in this webinar?
improve program design and data reuse
establishing a living pro-forma P&L that starts at the quoting process and extends into production
leverage APQP, PPAP and other predefined templates and associated processes linked to designs, tooling, manufacturing process, geo-locations, etc.
ensure adherence to OEM and industry quality standards such as ISO/TS 16949:2002

Liberate Revit Data through “Intelligent Parts” to Drive Company-Wide Efficiency - July 26, 2016
The rigid and siloed structure of Autodesk’s Revit data has been a long-time source of frustration for companies in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) space. Revit projects and family data rarely “play nice” with enterprise-wide solutions such as ERP, product lifecycle management (PLM), or even simple document management. While many AEC companies have invested heavily in enterprise solutions, it has proved difficult to seamlessly harmonize with the Revit environment. Join PacifiCAD and the vdR Group as we introduce an exciting new approach to instilling an “intelligent parts” paradigm to liberate the value of Revit data.
What will I learn in this webinar?
create a secure and controlled Revit data library that acts as the “single source of truth”
enrich Revit data with pricing, documentation, specs, etc.
optimize data reuse, and drive down-stream efficiencies
gain visibility into Revit projects, changes, revision history and redlining
dynamically produce schedules, costed BOMs, and specs against Revit projects
drive improved BOM accuracy
accelerate the quoting process

Practical PLM Webinar Part 2: Creating a “PLM Beachhead” That Drives 80% of the Value with 20% of the Effort - February 19th, 2016

Practical PLM Webinar Part 2: Creating a “PLM Beachhead” That Drives 80% of the Value with 20% of the Effort - February 19th, 2016
Industry analysts and pundits continue to propose that PLM is entering a “Golden Age.” When one considers the factors at play such as globalization, platformization, the IoT, interdependent supply chains, the digitization of data, cross-functional business automation, regulatory pressure and the increasingly impatient consumer, to just name a few, it does seem to be a perfect storm for PLM. The need for competitiveness and innovation (that is sustainable) has never been greater. However, if the value is so great and the pundits are right, why is PLM underutilized by most organizations? Put simply, the promise of PLM is intimidating and people don’t know where to start.
Just because PLM can do everything, doesn’t mean is should… especially when starting out. Far too many consultants and service providers are happy to help you find the end of the PLM rainbow when in reality 80% of the value is driven by 20% of a solution’s functional scope. How can this “20%” be found before time and money are wasted. Join Martin van der Roest and equip yourself to be strategic and intentional about where you create your company’s “PLM beachhead” while creating a foundation that will extend value throughout the enterprise.
What will I learn in this webinar?
Quantitatively diagnose my organization’s strengths and weaknesses as it relates to PLM
Identify where to create my “PLM beachhead” with multi-variable PLM value matrices
How to apply the Pareto Principle to PLM evaluations and implementations
How to incrementally build on small “wins” to create a foundation for enterprise-wide value

Practical PLM Webinar Part 1: The Business Case for PLM - Finding Immediate Value January 15th, 2016
When most people think about PLM, the last thing that comes to mind is “immediate value.” A recent survey found that 25% of managers responsible for product are hesitant to invest in PLM due to poor previous experiences. And, 70% of companies with dedicated PLM solutions have scraped major portions of the solutions due to either low acceptance or budget overruns.
Join Martin van der Roest and Hiep Tran and learn how to overcome these challenges by focusing on small incremental “wins” that organically drive the process transformations needed to fully realize the power of PLM. As companies face increasingly globalized value chains, competitive pressures, and data silos, there is an urgency to find real and immediate value in PLM.
