Abstract
This Manufacturing Insights presents the latest survey results from Asia/Pacific
(excluding Japan) or APEJ business and IT priorities. The findings
show an increasing trend at the overall efficiency of the
processes in the product life-cycle management (PLM) area. The manufacturing
industry in APEJ considers driving efficiency into the product development
process.
According to Christopher Holmes, vice president, Manufacturing Insights, IDC Asia/Pacific,
"manufacturing companies are looking at the entire business to see
where they can save costs, and the product development process
is no exception. We expect companies to focus on gaining
control of the process and to invest in tools to
facilitate its efficiency. We also expect to see greater collaboration
among suppliers, design partners, and customers."
