A Defect Free Warranty Strategy for Manufacturing

A recent study indicates that manufacturers have a long way to go in using warranty best practices, data and analytics to bring down their production process to improve quality. Most companies are aware of the consequences of poor warranty management. Few know exactly where they stand in relation to industry benchmarks and best practices. The problem is compounded by a number of factors that include shrinking product lifecycles, growing product complexity, increased life of products, an intricate value chain that introduces multiple intermediaries and potentially damaging social media interaction between customers. Poor strategy, lack of rugged process and outdated technology are encoding the promotional and protectional role of warranties.

The 4 Main Challenges Facing Today’s Manufacturers

whitePaper | July 12, 2022

Modern manufacturers succeed when they balance the types of jobs they accept with the capabilities they offer, and maximize the value of both their equipment and their personnel. Shops that fail to optimize their capabilities and remove inefficiencies from their processes may be unable to produce at their real capacity and meet expected quality standards. To improve efficiency and reach their production potential, shops must discover ways to meet four main challenges, especially as highmix, low-volume (HMLV) production gradually replaces mass-quantity output in multiple industrial environments.

DIGITAL TWINS What they are, their value, how they can reduce costs and increase returns in automation

whitePaper | November 5, 2022

Many credit the birth of the digital twin to Dr. Michael Grieves, who applied the idea to the manufacturing sector in 2002; however, the argument is often made that its origins can be traced back even further. For example, during the Space Race (1955-1975), NASA would create a replica of each spacecraft they would send into orbit. These replicas were studied and used for simulation to gain insight into their performance and improve their space exploration initiatives.
