Mr. Thomas will present "Purchineering: Bringing Together What Belongs Together" at 10 am on Wed., May 25 in Auditorium 2. In this session, he'll describe why standardizing parts across a global supply chain is a strategic imperative. He will also outline solutions for managing commercial part catalogs throughout the lifecycle -- even within the most complex design environments with multiple CAD and PDM systems.
More specifically, attendees will learn:
- Reuse of current standard and Supplier parts through leveraging your investment in PLM and interoperable CAD systems
- How part catalog management provides stability to any PLM environment
- Value-driven Purchasing by bringing Engineering and Purchasing Teams together
- Review of The Boeing Company's use of cataloging technology: A Case Study
