Being nimble in manufacturing means having the flexibility to cad design engineers for choice and to get products to market quickly. One challenge is that product complexity leads to more parts, which are hard to find and seldom governed.

Being nimble in manufacturing means having the flexibility to cad design engineers for choice and to get products to market quickly. One challenge is that product complexity leads to more parts, which are hard to find and seldom governed. This results in duplicate parts frequently being introduced, slowing progress (and increasing costs) across sourcing, manufacturing, quality, sales, and service.
Executing a parts classification project can save manufacturers millions of dollars and pay many other significant dividends. Parts reuse can help reduce inventory complexity, identify supply chain synergies, and minimize unnecessary aftermarket inventory costs.
Watch this webinar to see how PTC Windchill promotes parts reuse and eliminates issues regarding parts classification.
