A corresponding teleconference also is available at 866-740-1260 with the same access code. Participants are encouraged to pre-register by emailing plm@launch-systems.com with "webinar" in the subject line.
Conference attendees will learn how to leverage technology to more efficiently and effectively manage programs through:
• Collaborative and integrated modular solutions that seamlessly link cost estimating, program timing, project resources, document management and workflow management;
• Improved cost estimating, including RFQ (request for quote) accuracy and turnaround;
• Improved ECN/ECR (engineering change notice/request) management for quoting, tracking, and implementation;
• Management and visualization of CAD data, and
• Reduced direct costs, such as travel, through the use of collaborative technologies.
"Our industry is operating with space-age factory floors and stone-age project and program management," said David E. Cole, chairman of the Center for Automotive Research. "Real-time program management collaboration is so essential to the health of our ongoing industry, that we're headed for real problems if we don't get there."
Launch Systems, Inc., helps automotive manufacturers and suppliers develop core competencies in program management and launch execution, and is a strategic partner of Campfire Interactive. Launch Systems can be found on the web at http://www.launch-systems.com/
