How Matrix Applied Computing's EDM Solutions Can Boost Your Engineering Productivity

Why do manufacturers need to deliver digital product definition data from Engineering to everyone else? Here are the 4 most common use cases: ✅ Build packages to the shop floor ✅ Design packages to suppliers ✅ Contract deliverables to customers ✅ Compliance deliverables to agencies And this type of data can't just be sent in a zip file. Not if the desired result is quality, not issues. Efficiency, not delays. Follow the links to see how Anark Technical Data Package (TDP) solutions transform complex CAD and PLM data into structured, model-based content that’s easy to access, review, and trust across your digital engineering and manufacturing workflows. Empower every stakeholder with complete, context-rich product definition, and accelerate innovation! Do you have other use cases? Let us know. We'd love to hear them. #TDP #MBD #MBE #Engineering https://lnkd.in/euSfv-em

World-class, data-driven engineering orgs operate around five pillars: Budgets, Talent, Productivity, Delivery, and Outcomes. Each pillar relies on recurring processes and cadences to sustain performance, with metrics that help teams quickly assess progress, identify emerging risks, and make informed decisions while everyone's gathered together. Instead of relying on gut feelings, spreadsheets, and partial visibility, they bring high-quality, evergreen data into every meeting. The result: faster, more confident decisions. Here's which metrics actually drive results across each pillar: https://lnkd.in/gxF_8jxi

Unlocking Efficiency: The Power of Value Stream Mapping Value Stream Mapping #VSM is a visual representation of a process that helps organizations understand and improve the flow of material and information. It's a powerful tool for identifying waste, optimizing processes & enhancing customer value. What is #ValueStreamMapping? VSM is a lean management technique that originated in the manufacturing industry. It's used to analyze and design the flow of material and information across a process, from raw materials to delivery to the end customer. Benefits of Value Stream Mapping: 1. Improved #Efficiency: VSM helps organizations identify and eliminate waste, reducing lead times and increasing productivity. 2. Enhanced #Customer Value: By focusing on customer value, VSM ensures that processes are designed to meet customer needs and expectations. 3. Increased Transparency: VSM provides a clear visual representation of processes, making it easier to identify areas for improvement. 4. Cross-Functional Collaboration: VSM encourages collaboration across departments and functions, promoting a holistic understanding of processes. How to Create a Value Stream Map: 1. Define the #Process: Identify the process you want to map, including the start and end points. 2. Gather Data: Collect data on the process, including lead times, cycle times, and waste. 3. Create the Map: Use a visual tool (e.g., sticky notes, software) to create a map of the process. 4. Identify #Waste: Identify areas of waste and opportunities for improvement. 5. Develop an Improvement Plan: Create a plan to implement changes and monitor progress. Real-World Applications: VSM can be applied to various industries, including: #Manufacturing #Healthcare -#SoftwareDevelopment #Logistics & #SupplyChainManagement #sixsigma #leansixsigma #processexcellence #learninganddevelopment

You can have the best simulation model in the world - but if your inputs are off, your results will be too. At bpmd we often see this when companies try to build a business case using process simulation. They’re modelling steps without really knowing: → How long tasks take → What each resource costs → Where work gets stuck The simulation runs... but the picture it paints isn’t real. It looks good on slides - but it doesn’t hold up in operations. The insight? Fix your data first. Then simulate. Only with accurate data can you turn a process simulation into a credible case for automation, system change, or rollout. Otherwise, you’re just guessing - with nicer visuals. #bpmd #DigitalTransformation #ProcessMining #SAPSignavio #BusinessProcessManagement #OperationalExcellence

🌟 #5S is not only for the physical world – it’s also for your business processes 🌟 When most people hear #5S, they think of clean factory floors, organized workstations, and visual order in the physical workplace. But the same principles can be applied beyond the shop floor – into your business processes. 📌 Why? Because waste, inefficiency, and hidden complexity don’t just live in machines or tools – they often live in our workflows, approvals, and communication channels. Here’s how #5S can transform business processes – and how we apply it at #Aurightec: 1️⃣ Sort – We conduct regular internal process audits to identify redundant steps and outdated approvals. If a task doesn’t add value, it’s clutter. 2️⃣ Set in Order – We use free #ArisExpress software to map processes, define responsibilities, and make workflows transparent and logical. For a better experience, you can choose something more robust and easily integratable within whole company, such as #2c8. 3️⃣ Shine – Together with our teams, we analyze processes using the 8 types of waste framework alongside with #PDCA or #DMAIC methodology. This collaborative approach ensures bottlenecks are spotted and eliminated. 4️⃣ Standardize – We rely on the #VKS application to create clear work instructions (you can choose something else, for example #GembaDocs) and #MFiles to keep documentation controlled and up to date. This ensures knowledge is consistent and accessible. 5️⃣ Sustain – We monitor KPIs through both physical dashboards and MS Power BI, making performance visible and helping teams maintain improvements. 💡 Process modeling is at the heart of this approach. Just like a well-organized workspace is easy to navigate, a well-modeled process reveals inefficiencies, redundancies, and opportunities for automation. 👉 By applying 5S thinking to business processes, organizations can become leaner, faster, and more resilient – not only in production, but in decision-making, customer service, and strategy execution. 🔑 Lean is not just a manufacturing philosophy – it’s a mindset for clarity, flow, and value in every corner of your business. #Aurightec #Lean #5S #BusinessProcessManagement #ContinuousImprovement #ProcessExcellence #LeanThinking #OperationalExcellence #DigitalTransformation #ProcessModeling #KPI #PowerBI #VKS #GembaDocs #MFiles

For years, Vault has played a central role in engineering data management, giving teams a secure, structured way to store, organize, and control their design files. But as organizations grow and projects become more complex, managing CAD data alone isn’t enough. To stay competitive, manufacturers need a more connected, flexible approach to product lifecycle management. That’s where Fusion Manage steps in, bringing teams, processes, and data together across the entire product journey.
