Glovia to Present on Product Lifecycle Management at IMTS 2004 Manufacturing Conference
Panel of Industry Experts to Compare Product Lifecycle Management Processes to Help Manufacturers Improve Responsiveness
El Segundo, Calif., September 7, 2004 - Glovia International, a subsidiary of Fujitsu and a leading provider of extended ERP solutions for engineer-to-order and high volume manufacturers, announced that Jim Errington, business development manager for Glovia with over 30 years of IT experience in the manufacturing industry, will share his expertise on Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) in a panel discussion of manufacturing industry experts at the IMTS 2004 Manufacturing Conference.
Manufacturing has always been a highly competitive industry and now more than ever the competitive health of manufacturers is increasingly being determined by their ability to respond to customer demands. Manufacturing is undergoing a transformation from supply and demand to demand and supply. Manufacturers must examine business processes as well as their information systems and business applications to see how they can become more demand-driven. Only manufacturers that implement flexible, integrated and real-time systems will be able to effectively manage the level of change that customer responsiveness requires.
As a panelist, Errington, who is currently responsible for business development in North America, will take a close look at demand-driven manufacturing and examine ways in which manufacturers can improve their business operations through a more customer-centric demand-driven business model.
