Visiprise, Inc. announced that it will sponsor an IndustryWeek-hosted online event titled “Launching the E-Z-GO Fleet Golf Car: Integrating Manufacturing Execution with New Product Introduction.” The free, online broadcast will take place on Thursday, March 6, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. EST.
During this event E-Z-GO, a Textron Inc. company and a global leading manufacturer of golf cars and utility vehicles, will discuss the launch of the E-Z-GO RXV, representing a major step forward in golf car technology and the result of several years' design, mechanical, performance, ergonomic and safety innovation. The event will further discuss how manufacturing execution systems (MES) and other technologies supported E-Z-GO’s new product introduction (NPI) objectives, including:
?Analysis of real time manufacturing data to highlight areas in need of rapid improvement
?Feeding Design For Manufacturing (DFM) programs with manufacturing fact-based data analysis for real-time and continuous launch improvements
?Enabling a paperless environment to drive additional efficiencies throughout their new product engineering and manufacturing ramp-to-volume processes
The panel for this event will include Julie Kentner, E-Z-GO's MES project manager, who will share how E-Z-GO approached the launch of its fleet golf car, integrating MES and other technologies with tested manufacturing processes to deliver an efficient and innovative product to the market. Rick Nordin, director of high tech industry business unit at Visiprise, will then discuss how E-Z-GO and other manufacturers can optimize their manufacturing processes through MES capabilities to increase new product launch frequency while reducing time-to-market.
