GE Power's Digital Supply Chain Collaboration Transformation Journey

Leading global manufacturers and their supplier communities are under increasing pressure to drive greater efficiencies, improve product quality, and accelerate new product introduction (NPI) cycles through the adoption and implementation of more modern, connected, digital processes and solutions.

Supplier Collaboration is often still managed as an ad-hoc and disconnected set of activities in which OEMs and their suppliers rely on outdated modes of technical data access and collaboration, including communicating and managing purchasing and supplier bid activities via an array of inefficient and inconsistent tools such as email, faxed drawings, phone calls, or unmanaged, general portal solutions.

This presentation will provide an overview of the GE Power journey, enabled by 3DEXPERIENCE ENOVIA and Anark Core MBEWeb, which has resulted in a modern, flexible, web-based approach and system for more secure, effective and traceable collaboration with their supplier partners.

Webinar participants will learn valuable lessons, including:

• Common stumbling blocks and costs associated with outdated and disconnected supplier collaboration and purchasing processes.
• How secure, connected, role-specific Technical Data Packages (TDPs) and digital workflows, with support for a complete array of technical data types such as 3D MCAD (with MBD), 3D ECAD, 2D drawings, BOMs, text, and images, enable more effective data access and collaboration between OEMs and their suppliers through the entire bid and PO award cycle.
• Importance of "data-coherency" - Ensuring OEMs and suppliers are utilizing current and correct version of critical technical data.
• How intuitive, contextual visual collaboration with notifications and graphical markup capabilities empowers accelerated supplier-bid cycles, improved quality, reduced risk, and greater real-time visibility to contract manufacturing partners' Work-in-Progress status.

Presenters for this webinar will be:

• Jim Merry, Anark Senior Director of Business Development
• Kena Yokoyama, GE Gas Power Engineering Manager, Product Definition
• Scott Collins, Anark CTO and Executive VP of Product Development
