Partner, PwC
In recent years, B2B manufacturing has witnessed a surge in complexity, challenging companies to synchronize diverse customer demands, regulatory standards, and intricate supply chains within integrated IT frameworks. In this presentation, Dr. Jan Göpfert will elucidate the importance of mastering process and product complexity to gain a competitive edge.
Jan will showcase various customer examples to underscore how companies excelling in consistent modularization and standardization establish the bedrock for successful transformation projects. He will emphasize the critical involvement of business and IT needs, steered by top management and encompassing the entire global IT architecture.
Furthermore, Jan will highlight the significance of stable, modular product architectures as the linchpin for successful implementation across all configuration systems and sales channels. Additionally, he will discuss how adept management of product development and streamlined configuration lifecycle management can yield benefits such as optimized product variance, portfolio enhancement, and the transition from Engineer-to-Order (ETO) to Configure-to-Order (CTO) processes.
