The complexities of manufacturing engineering pose a critical challenge to today’s manufacturers. It requires design and production to coordinate closely—without sacrificing the agility needed to respond to market demands. To stay competitive, manufacturers must continually enhance their own speed and operational efficiency to ensure that all departments align on the product specifications mandated by each customer. A failure to align can result in the proliferation of outdated or bad information, creating a domino effect of manufacturing errors with far-reaching consequences.
