Endeca Technologies, Inc., an information access software company, today announced a webinar series focused the emerging role of information visibility in today's manufacturing enterprises. Endeca's customers, who have some of the world's most sophisticated and demanding manufacturing environments, rely on Endeca's Manufacturing solutions for business-critical strategic sourcing, engineering and supply chain initiatives. The Excellence in Manufacturing series features supply chain, sourcing and design engineering leaders, as well as industry experts from leading research firms and Endeca. Each webinar will explore new approaches for improving margins, adapting to shifting customer demand, avoiding supply chain risks and reducing costs in today's discrete manufacturing environment.
The next webinar in the series, entitled, "Reacting to Changing Economies: Three Ways to Address Strategic Sourcing's Vulnerability," will feature Mickey North Rizza, research director of AMR Research's Manufacturing practice, and Kevin Reale, vice president of manufacturing systems at Endeca. It will focus on how organizations are leveraging close contact and visibility of key suppliers to increase competitive differentiation and stay ahead of supply chain challenges. The discussion will cover three actionable strategies that reduce supplier risk and save an organization valuable spend dollars. It builds on themes introduced in a June 24th webinar, entitled, "Information Visibility: The New Competitive Advantage of Product Design & Sourcing," where a major North American defense contractor discussed how it solved the data overload challenges facing its design engineers and procurement managers.
