Documents are a key part of manufacturing processes, from requirements and specifications, to bills, parts lists, marketing materials and technical maintenance manuals. However, documents typically provide static views of a dynamic business. In turn, documents can introduce design, development and maintenance delays, mistakes, rework costs and compliance issues that can rapidly erode profit margins, customer loyalty and time-to-market advantages

In an upcoming Webinar, JustSystems, <http://na.justsystems.com/index.php> , and Siemens PLM Software will discuss how dynamic documents can overcome the pitfalls of static documents and dramatically improve information transfer and collaboration in product lifecycle management (PLM) and maintenance repair and operations (MRO).

What:  “Transforming Manufacturing Processes through Dynamic Documents: Reduce Cost, Risk and Time by Bringing Critical Documents to Life” Webinar moderated by Manufacturing Business Technology and sponsored by JustSystems

Who:   Tom Maurer, senior director, Global Industry Marketing, Siemens PLM Software; Jeff Deskins, principal consultant, JustSystems; and Kevin Parker, editorial director, Manufacturing Business Technology
