Think Tanks con­nect you with peers nav­i­gat­ing the same chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties as you. ASUG will facil­i­tate an inter­ac­tive peer-to-peer exchange where solu­tions are shared for top­ics spe­cif­ic to your role and interest.

Join us in a dia­logue on the role and impor­tance of man­u­fac­tur­ing exe­cu­tion in achiev­ing over­all com­pa­ny goals of inno­va­tion, qual­i­ty, cost, and sched­ule. In A&D, we think of our­selves as design com­pa­nies (design here, build any­where), yet the mar­ket mea­sures us on our abil­i­ty to deliv­er inno­v­a­tive, qual­i­ty prod­ucts on time and on bud­get. 
 
The goal of this Think Tank is to iden­ti­fy man­u­fac­tur­ing effi­cien­cy bot­tle­necks and the role that sys­tem inte­gra­tion plays, from engi­neer­ing han­dover through sup­ply chain, man­u­fac­tur­ing exe­cu­tion, and delivery.

To opti­mize your expe­ri­ence, please be pre­pared to describe areas affect­ing your man­u­fac­tur­ing through­put that are either cur­rent or have been corrected. 

The for­mat on Tues­day, March 16, at 10:00 a.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. CT will include: 

• A brief wel­come and intro­duc­tion from ASUG 
• Hot-top­ic dis­cus­sion led by ASUG mem­ber Car­ol Kirk­patrick from Bell Flight and Mike Ede­len from SAP 
• The dis­cus­sion will focus on: 
  • What are the main dri­vers affect­ing man­u­fac­tur­ing throughput? 
  • Man­u­fac­tur­ing is often delayed due to sup­ply chain issues, change man­age­ment, resource short­ages, etc. 
    • How could the flow of information/​digital con­ti­nu­ity address man­u­fac­tur­ing through­put issues? 
  • Time­ly insight into shop floor issues and bet­ter sup­ply chain syn­chro­niza­tion are areas for con­sid­er­a­tion. What are others?

Gain vis­i­bil­i­ty into the chal­lenges and suc­cess­es oth­er SAP cus­tomers are expe­ri­enc­ing, and acquire new ideas for real-world solutions.
