In the consumer products industry, most companies are striving to contain costs while increasing flexibility and responsiveness to customers and consumers. These objectives often work against each other in the absence of a well-functioning innovation process.
The optimal system is not one in which the commercial organizations drive an agenda of innovation, flexibility and responsiveness while the supply organizations engage in relentless cost reduction. The innovation process is the opportunity to tie these two valid pursuits together and co-optimize the system. By improving the underlying business processes and working against a common set of requirements, each company has the opportunity to bring its new products and capabilities to market in a way that actually improves the total productivity of the enterprise.
There are no simple formulas for success. Indeed, each company must find solutions that support its unique strategies, goals and business culture. No two innovation processes are the same. That is why Teamcenter™ is designed as a highly configurable innovation platform for your enterprise.
By combining the data management, process management, and alignment capabilities or Teamcenter Enterprise with the secure and scalable collaboration capabilities of Teamcenter Community, you will create an innovation environment that is robust and efficient.
By building upon this foundation to create functional applications that support the way YOU innovate, you will eliminate must of the rework and waste that drags on your innovation process and your top and bottom line results. For example, we have customers who have generated 50% productivity improvements by configuring our products to improve their package artwork development process (a notorious source of profit leakage in most consumer products companies).
