Implement end-to-end processes

Manufacturers today face new and growing pressure from offshore competition, increased regulatory controls, changing tax laws, rising oil prices, new outsourcing opportunities, rising material costs, and global economic shifts tied to trade imbalances.

CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) manufacturers are especially pressured to address Radio Frequency (RFID) and Electronic Product Code (EPC) opportunities, ensuring a global registration of their product catalogs on UCCnet (Uniform Code Council) — and at the same time manage regulatory scrutiny and audits of trade-fund management processes.

Meanwhile, all manufacturers continue to face the challenge of cutting costs while fueling innovation in Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), bringing continuously improved products to market faster.

SmartBPM® from Pegasystems can help, by allowing manufacturers to implement end-to-end processes that bridge multiple isolated business systems while cutting costs, encouraging ongoing innovation, and improving time to market.

Pegasystems' SmartBPM enables manufacturing companies to:

• Improve product lifecycle and time to market by capturing and executing key product and process improvements that straddle multiple systems
• Use business rules to help optimize procurement, sourcing, and tax-preferential strategies
• Better manage relationships with materials vendors, and reduce delays with automated communication and supply-chain integration
• Achieve and maintain ISO 9000 certification
• Fine-tune processes via Six Sigma to eliminate product defects
• Address compliance and regulatory requirements with audit trails and pre-packaged reports
• Monitor process execution to identify additional areas for process improvement
• Enable outsourcing without compromising product quality
• Simulation for what-if scenario planning and risk management
• Get more productivity from existing equipment and personnel
• Extend service offerings, empower self-service to widen revenue channel, and improve customer satisfaction

A Pegasystems' SmartBPM platform can change how your company manages existing accounts, acquires new customers, interacts with partners, creates and delivers new products, and complies with regulations.  Employees spend less time on manual tasks and focus on innovative, value-producing activities. Communication is automated and timely, and processes are streamlined and integrated with core systems.  More to the point, you run your business more efficiently and produce faster results.
