PELION SYSTEMS TO HOST WEBINAR ON ABERDEEN’S NEW MANUFACTURING PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT REPORT
Latest Aberdeen research benchmarks the keys to long-term manufacturing success
LAFAYETTE, COLO. – January 4, 2005 – Pelion Systems, the market leader in Manufacturing Process Optimization (MPO) solutions, today announced it will host a Webinar presenting Aberdeen Group’s latest research report: The Manufacturing Performance Management Strategies Benchmark Report. Chris Jones, Aberdeen’s senior vice president of value chain research, and Richard Sherman, Pelion’s senior vice president of marketing will co-present key findings from the study on Wed., Jan. 12, 2005 at 12:30 p.m. EST.
“Manufacturers continue to search for new methods to improve performance in light of global competition and growing customer service expectations,” said Aberdeen’s Chris Jones. “Our latest research provides practical, actionable steps for building a high performance manufacturing operation based on input from ‘best-in-class” enterprises that have successfully implemented performance management programs.”
The Manufacturing Performance Management Strategies Benchmark Study outlines common characteristics that are found within the most successful manufacturing operations. Some of the studies’ findings illustrate how far too many manufacturers remain focused narrowly on the symptoms of performance challenges and fail to obtain the necessary data needed to drive performance improvement programs.
Pelion and Aberdeen will address the following keys to successful performance management programs:
- Focus on delivering superior customer service – along with cost reduction
- Use performance analysis solutions to accelerate the pace of continuous improvement
- Extend manufacturing processes into logistics and customer service
- Take a balanced approach to delivering integrated, closed-loop performance management processes supported by flexible IT solutions
- Drive manufacturing responsiveness as close to real time as possible
“We’re pleased to join Aberdeen in presenting these compelling insights into successful manufacturing performance management strategies,” explains Pelion’s Rich Sherman. “Any manufacturer that is serious about performance management will find a wealth of information that can be used to gauge the status of existing programs and provide a roadmap for future initiatives.”
