Apriso Announces Webinar Featuring Leading Analyst Firm to Advise Manufacturers to Realign Business Processes Horizontally across Supply Chain

Webinar, based on recent analyst firm research, offers best practices to “realign your supply chain compass” to create a more holistic view of the product supply network

Who: Rick Gallisa, Industry Director, Life Sciences and Consumer Goods at Apriso will join featured analyst Simon Jacobson, Research Director of AMR (acquired by Gartner, Inc.), for a complimentary webinar. They will present advantages that manufacturers can realize from establishing business processes that span horizontally across their operations (think "East – West") instead of vertically, within functional silos (think "North – South") to achieve a more holistic view of their product supply network.

Mr. Jacobson will provide a framework on how companies can embrace an enterprise approach to global manufacturing operations, addressing top trends identified by global manufacturers, based on AMR/Gartner’s latest manufacturing research findings. Mr. Gallisa will present real-world examples on how manufacturers are executing upon this vision, aligning their business processes “East – West” for improved flexibility and simplified operations management.

What: Attend this webinar to better understand these research findings, as well as case studies from best-in-class global manufacturers who are embracing an enterprise approach to global manufacturing operations to address today’s top manufacturing objectives:

• Improve flexibility – Increased visibility, synchronization and control allows you to respond faster and more cost effectively to changing market conditions
• Accelerate innovation and continuous improvement while removing complexity – By integrating design, planning and your manufacturing systems, you can go to market with faster new product introductions and stronger brand integrity
• Achieve real-time visibility – Gain visibility into manufacturing costs, WIP, inventory and ERP integration, as well as aggregated data for improved performance correlations
• Manage the continued centralization of manufacturing IT systems – Embrace the common goal of sharing and standardizing global processes for increased asset utilization
