According to Stephen Carson, Executive Vice-President of
Visibility Corporation, "Once ETO (engineer-to-order)
manufacturing clients modularized their product design and
introduced configurators wherever possible; using VISIBILITY
Features and Options, the manufacturer was able to provide its
estimators and order processors with pre-designed product
elements, allowing initial product requirement identification
without engineering involvement. The exercise of developing
options allowed engineering to reduce many of the incremental
product variations and replace them with modularized selections
that still filled customer requirements without demanding
extensive per-job design efforts."
By taking advantage of the integrated nature of VISIBILITY,
along with revamping approaches to product design and
information hand-offs, this manufacturer was able to:
* Support the same variety of marketplace needs with a
simplified product design approach
* Reduce product design time by 40%
* Pass product information to material and production planning
earlier and in the correct sequence, resulting in a 60%
reduction in overall job throughput time.
* The to-order capabilities of VISIBILITY have enabled the
customer to optimize product design, improve customer
interaction and satisfaction, and gain control of the design and
production cycles.
