The Digital Factory: What You Need to Know

How digital factories enable product teams to identify and eliminate manufacturability issues early in the design lifecycle, leading to less ECOs at the end of the design phase and improved profitability for your new product initiatives..

This guide provides an overview of the digital factory, how it works, and why it can be so valuable for manufacturers. Below you will learn: 

 

  • How digital factories enable product teams to identify and eliminate manufacturability issues early in the design lifecycle, leading to less ECOs at the end of the design phase and improved profitability for your new product initiatives.

 

 

  • How digital factories can help source new suppliers, streamline quotes, propel more effective negotiations, and support more agile, data-driven supply chain decision-making.

 

 

  • How they support valuable methodologies like Design for Manufacturability and Design to Cost.
