Manufacturing process management

As customer-driven product configurations experience exponential growth, manufacturers are being pushed to find more flexible production methods. Combined with supply chain disruptions, changing safety regulations, and pressure to reduce time-to-market, these challenges can seem overwhelming.

Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) provides the tools and methodologies needed to navigate today’s dynamic, plant-specific manufacturing environments, all integrated through PLM (Product Lifecycle Management). MPM connects the shop floor with engineering, suppliers, logistics, and quality, creating a more agile and unified enterprise.

Designing a great product isn’t enough—getting it to market without delays is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. Slow production ramp-ups can lead to missed sales opportunities, while quality issues can harm a brand’s reputation. By using a single source of truth for product data, MPM establishes associativity, traceability, change control, and security, which are then automated for concurrent engineering and manufacturing. With this reliable data, planners can work with greater confidence, reducing errors in manual processes. MPM helps companies speed up time to manufacturing, ensuring that even small changes in engineering won’t cause major disruptions in production.
