The manufacturing industry is constantly
under pressure for productivity improvements. These businesses also must
deal with ever-changing competitive challenges on a day-to-day basis.
Changing technologies and competitive pressures are quickening the pace
of idea to product. With products being pushed to market at a continually
accelerated speed, communication of technical information and documents
is crucial to staying ahead of the curve. By applying digital technologies
to the collection and distribution of data and documents, Tameran's manufacturing
customers can do more than just control and retrieve documents - they
can distribute them in easy-to-use, standard formats, as well as native
file formats.
Tameran also utilizes security models that protect our customers' intellectual
property while still allowing users to share and distribute documents
and files. With our manufacturing solutions, documents can be conveniently
printed at any local printer, cutting delivery and production costs, and
giving manufacturers access to data where they want it, when they want
it and how they want it.
As a manufacturer, several key areas are addressed with Tameran's solutions:
One of the keys to increasing productivity is making data readily available
- both archived data and the latest relevant data. Tameran's manufacturing
customers have turned to us to provide external and internal data consumers
seamless, streamlined access to the information that they need most, precisely
when they need it and how they need it.
Tameran's success in this area can be attributed to our leading software
and hardware solutions that can be customized to meet each manufacturer's
specific needs.
Our solutions can provide these results for Document and Data Accessibility:
- Optimize work flow for image capture, image clean up and index, CAD
file conversion and auto publishing of fixed content data
- Achieve up to 60% of the cost savings anticipated from the implementation
of a document management system at a fraction of the cost by digitizing
legacy data and auto publishing current data for fixed content distribution
- Reduce the cost of implementing document management systems
- Provide flexible, productive and efficient delivery of print output
- Offer worldwide availability of technical information, online and
offline, using any web browser for remote viewing and printing
- Give users an easy to deploy, cost-effective extension to current
business management systems (including PLM, PDM, ERP, MRP and EDMS)
for distributing disparate content and associated metadata
- And more
For Tameran's manufacturing customers, it is vital to create and publish
Requests for Proposal (RFP) and Request for Quotes (RFQ) in a timely manner.
Equally important is the ability to control reproduction costs and combine
drawings, specifications, assembly instructions and digital pictures into
one easy to distribute package. Tameran's unique solutions allow users
to print and fold document sets for distribution and provide web access
for document reproduction to help lower the costs in the procurement process
and improve communication. Through these tools, we also accommodate addendum
changes and assure that all suppliers and vendors have instant access
to the most current documents and modifications.
Tameran's manufacturing purchasing solutions combine our services with
our software and hardware to bring our manufacturing customers positive
results and help with their purchasing process.
Our solutions can provide these results for Purchasing:
- Reduce procurement cycle times and ineffective reproduction costs
- Reduce costs associated with assembling, printing and shipping documents
in packages with effective printing and folding systems
- Shift costs associated with assembling, printing and shipping documents
in packages by distributing data online and offering local printing
capabilities. This shifts costs from those producing the documents to
those using the documents
- Increase the bidding pool without raising overhead costs associated
with producing bid sets
- Reduce addendum-related delays by communicating changes to RFQ and
RFPs in seconds
- Publish information in standard formats that can be viewed by all
users on any web browser, on any operating system
- And more
When it comes to bringing new products to market, Tameran helps our manufacturing
customers do it faster and more efficiently than their competitors. Our
customizable solutions bridge the gap between the creation of documents
and data and the manufacturing and assembly phase of the product life
cycle. This streamlined operation speeds up the distribution of new product
designs and associated design improvements known as engineering changes
(ECO and ECN).
Tameran's success in this part of manufacturing is a result of our ability
to distribute these continual improvements in association with a manufacturers
document control processes and electronic systems that manage configuration
control and thereby accelerate the time to market process.
Our solutions can provide these results for Time to Market:
- Provide an easy to deploy, affordable system for fixed content distribution
- Improve productivity by automating the digitization, conversion and
publishing of new and historical data into a central reference repository
- Facilitate the distribution of information and data as the project
moves through an organization
- Synchronize remote sites with little or no labor by auto publishing
fixed content information
- Shorten the cycle time for engineering changes both internally and
externally
- And more
Today's manufacturing companies are increasing their focus on their core
competencies and continually looking at partnering with complementary
organizations to add more value to their business. With the increase in
partnerships, new challenges arise in improving internal and external
communications and it is important to provide information from the creation
phase through fulfillment.
Today's manufacturers need systems that automatically distribute and
notify users of any changes in configurations. Precise coordination with
vendors is becoming a growing requirement as competition increases and
manufacturers rely on external supply chain vendors and push for more
efficiencies in operations like just in time (JIT) inventory, on-demand
parts ordering and smaller production runs.
As a result, Tameran's solutions can be customized and tailor-fit to
meet these manufacturing demands. These solutions vary from customizable
software to coordinating hardware and services.
Our solutions can provide these results for Just in Time Inventory (Partnering):
- provide virtually instantaneous communication between manufacturer
and supplier(s)
- Improve supplier efficiency, leading to shorter lead times in smaller
lots
- Improve turn around time with supplier due to tighter integration
between supplier and manufacturing
- Automate the synchronization to project-critical information between
manufacturer and supplier(s)
- Reduce scrap and rework costs and generate "hard cost savings"
- And more
In many industries, after-market revenue generates the largest share of
corporate profits. It is critical to Tameran's manufacturing customers
that their customers and service personnel have access to spare part documentation
in order to maintain after-market revenue. In fact, while actual spare
part pricing may be higher than competitive sources, value can be delivered
by providing web access to documentation that allows for effective use
of those spare parts. Combine this with an efficient supply chain system
and manufacturers realize quicker response and delivery times for their
customers.
As a complete solutions provider, Tameran provides tools that help our
manufacturing customers increase their after-market revenue. By carefully
combining the right software with the necessary hardware and industry
expertise, our customers have a real solution that meets their specific
needs and yields real results.
