Combining the lessons learned from serving the world's leading aerospace and defense (A&D) manufacturing companies and the insights from the leading industry experts and thought leaders, Cincom Systems announces the first of a five part webinar series. The first webinar, Strategic Overview of Defining Lean in Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing, provides expert-level advice and insights from George Miller, founder and CEO of the Facilitator Group and A&D industry thought leader. Miller will share his expertise on the following topics:

  • Leadership and integration by the Program Management Office (PMO) across the entire value chain;
  • Managing cost/price strategies to maximize profitability;
  • Managing complexities in product configuration management and integration to business systems to ensure accurate order delivery;
  • Synchronizing ERP, all scheduling processes and configuration management systems to ensure customer requirements are met; and
  • Lean manufacturing focuses on attaining the highest levels of accuracy and replicable quality possible in all sourcing, production and fulfillment activities.

"What we really want to do in lean manufacturing," Miller says, "is to do things better, faster and cheaper than the old way."
