CIMdata to Offer Workshop for the Simulation & Analysis Community

Workshop will take place at the Caterpillar Visitor Center in Peoria, Illinois on April 29 &30

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 22 January 2015—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces that CIMdata’s Simulation & Analysis Knowledge Council will present a workshop on the topic of “Leveraging Simulation for Competitive Advantage.” The workshop will take place in Peoria, Illinois and will run over two consecutive half days.

The workshop will start during the afternoon of April 29 and will end on April 30. A personal tour of Caterpillar’s visitor center and museum will be part of the first afternoon’s highlights. Throughout the workshop CIMdata’s Simulation & Analysis Knowledge Council and a select group of leading-edge users will share how they have been able to create a competitive advantage by deploying simulation and analysis to facilitate product and manufacturing system development. The workshop, now in its twelfth year, will once again be facilitated by CIMdata’s practice manager for Simulation & Analysis, Dr. Keith Meintjes.

Key topics for the 2015 workshop are: Simulation Governance—the procedures established that enable companies to make ongoing and explicit efforts to improve their capability and confidence in simulation; Platforms for Simulation & Analysis—where the solution providers are delivering suites of integrated applications and a platform offering some integration into the PLM environment; and Simulation Data Management—available for over a decade though adoption has been slow.

Dr. Keith Meintjes, CIMdata’s simulation and analysis practice manager commented, “End users are extremely concerned about making simulation more effective in their product and manufacturing system development processes. They recognize the need for Simulation Data Management, but are frustrated in reaching the next level of confidence in their simulation capability. Simulation needs to be managed as a strategic corporate competence, under an umbrella we call Simulation Governance. Leveraging simulation for its full potential advantage is very much a question of culture and organization, and not just one of technical capability.”

This workshop has been carefully designed over two half days to provide attendees time to network with domain experts from CIMdata, knowledge council participants, and others interested in these topics.
