Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) Solutions

Electronics manufacturers must bring cost-effective products to market faster than ever while meeting a variety of challenges, including the introduction of large numbers of new products in record time; manufacturing a growing mix of complex products; meeting customer and regulatory demands like traceability and lead-free manufacturing; and introducing new technologies, being components, software, equipment or processes.

UGS Tecnomatix address these critical issues, providing the most widely used Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) solutions for designing, managing and integrating the New Product Introduction (NPI) process as well as production management on the shop floor. These solutions were developed from years of expertise working with the world's largest electronics manufacturers.

Electronics manufacturers worldwide are using this complete, end-to-end manufacturing solution to design, optimize and execute PCB production processes. UGS Tecnomatix helps you introduce new products faster by more easily programming and optimizing the widest variety of assembly machines and test equipment in low- and high-mix scenarios, logging defects in the repair process and managing all aspects of manufacturing execution, from material management, to machine monitoring and quality management to full product and process traceability.

Manufacturing Process Management for Electronics = NPI + Execution
MPM is a technology-enabled business strategy that connects NPI and production processes by determining digitally "how" a product will be manufactured; by evaluating how well the planned process will work, through optimization; by managing the execution of the planned processes; and by providing feedback and process visibility across the manufacturing supply chain. In short MPM is the "how": how to design a process and how to execute its manufacturing.

Tecnomatix Electronics industry solutions from UGS can help you enhance your enterprise competitiveness by allowing you to:

• Get the NPI process right the first time
• Optimize throughput even in high-mix conditions
