Training Needs Analysis.
There are also companies who are using
the web to improve their software offering.
SFJ Systems provides software and services that target key production
issues and
uses web enabled technology to communicate between systems. This can reduce
costs and speeds up implementation.
New systems are implemented and tested
in parallel with the current system and with
fully trained personnel on the new system
this means a simple switch off the old and
switch on the new.
The packages that help logistical issues
across industrial sectors not only involve
planning, procurement and scheduling but
also focus on resource asset management
linked to these areas. Controlling the
resources for manufacturing is key to a
smooth running operation and using web
enabled Wi Fi with bar coding means this
control is paperless.
Within the software supplier base there is
also a strong commitment to R&D, none so
more than world leader Delcam which is
now the largest developer of product
design and manufacturing software in the
UK, with subsidiaries and joint ventures
across North America, Europe and Asia.
Delcam's software is used by more than
40,000 organisations in over 90 countries.
Customers range from multi-national corporations to independent designers, toolmakers
and sub-contractors, and come from
industries including aerospace, automotive,
electrical appliances, healthcare, motor
sport and packaging.
TECHNICAL LEADERS
Maintaining technical leadership across
this product range requires a significant
investment in research and development and
Delcam has the largest development team in
the CAM industry with over 230 staff.
