Contextware for Manufacturers.

It’s obvious that manufacturers of industrials, durables, components and aerospace & defense products continue to face complex operating challenges. To help address these issues and ensure ongoing competitiveness, significant time and investment have been made to improve productivity and quality. These investments have manifested themselves in technology infrastructure, programs such as Six Sigma, Lean and Kanban, and capital investment in facilities and equipment. But the marketplace has become increasingly global, and with that, increasingly complex. Viable competition has emerged from regions of the world that were previously so far behind in quality and technology, that is wasn’t worth looking over the corporation’s shoulder. That separation of capability and quality no longer holds true across many manufacturing sub-sectors. Compounding these challenges is the growing burden place on manufacturers by regulatory bodies and the pending flood of retiring workers whose expertise is critical to your operations.

While technology has certainly played a key role in helping manufacturers to meet their goals, it’s unrealistic to suggest that automation technologies such as ERP, manufacturing planning and scheduling or supply chain management represent the final turn on the winding road to prosperity for all companies. As the return on these investments begins to diminish, manufacturing executives realize there is huge mostly untapped efficiency to be gained by focusing on the human, non-automated aspects of the business. Contextware recognizes this – that your proprietary business processes, the essence of the way you manage your company and operations, are as important to your success as the systems you in place to help automate and execute them.
