Jaguar Land Rover/ UK - (Joy Batchelor, Product Configuration Technical Specialist) - addresses in its case study the theoretical and practical challenges of Configuration Lifecycle Management. ‘Bridging the product configuration gap between PLM and ERP systems’ highlights a number of configuration gaps and proposes an integrated approach for the consolidation of configuration across a number of business domains. The case study provides a summary of the overall requirements for system integration to support product configuration needs throughout the enterprise.
On behalf of the University of St. Gallen/ Switzerland, Prof. Dr. Thomas Friedli moves beyond the reduction of complexity and argues ‘How to make complexity management to a competitive advantage’ to better understand and control unreducible complexities. Friedli emphasizes the importance of a management and workforce cultural shift towards continuous improvement as the key to success for all improvements.
