These are exciting times for manufacturing. Technology, operational innovation, and new concepts in digitization are changing the way we make and sell products and services. It’s a revolution, they say. And you can see it around you. If your plant isn’t already in the midst of a modernization project, you likely have one on the horizon. Or, you’re starting to plan and research your options, working at finding budget, generating buy-in from executives. 

Some manufacturers may still be recovering from past economic challenges, but the future is looking brighter, with new opportunities on the horizon. For industrial manufacturers and companies that make industrial machinery and equipment, the potential for growth is vast. Technological innovation, in both operations and IT, will be the key to making this growth a reality.

Over the last few years, much has happened in the historically conservative wholesale distribution industry. Distributors are realizing that what drove their success in the past is not necessarily going to drive their success going forward.

The industry has gone global, has become more competitive than ever, and has grown increasingly sophisticated. The rise of social collaboration, the explosion of mobile devices, and other technological trends are reshaping the industry as we know it. A new generation of vendors and customers now expect to work the way they live, with access to information from any place at any time.

The food and beverage industry is driven by innovation—new products, flavors, packaging, markets, and sales channels. You must continually take a fresh approach to your business as you introduce new products, manage suppliers around the globe, and quickly respond to competitive activity. At the same time, you must flawlessly meet compliance requirements, while updating formulations, specifications, and labels to meet changing regulations. Your supply chain must be agile, so you can handle fluctuations in raw materials, production, and shipping, as you minimize shelf-life issues and reduce waste—while balancing seasonality and variability in demand.

With ICCG's expertise and consulting plus Infor PLM Accelerate, you’ll gain real-time visibility into projects and processes, so you can make better, more informed business decisions. You’ll also be able to:

• Decrease cycle times for new product introductions,
• Improve reuse, and have fewer systems to maintain.
• Improve communication, collaboration, and data flow throughout your enterprise and supply
  chain, so you can reduce scrap and rework, while eliminating waste.
