Industry verticals within manufacturing
What are the different models in manufacturing and what is the role of the partner & Microsoft in delivering results within these verticals?
From engineering and configuration to production, logistics, and afterâ€'sales service, disconnected systems and processes limit visibility, slow decisionâ€'making, and increase operational risk.
In this session, we will share what the typical challenges at manufacturing customers are and how we approach these
You will learn how to:
* Structure manufacturing solutions across different models, from make-to-stock to engineerâ€'toâ€'order.
* Connect processes endâ€'toâ€'end through a digital thread spanning sales, engineering, production, finance and service
* Learn and address common challenges such as long lead times, BOM complexity, project visibility, and crossâ€'department collaboration
* Accelerate implementations using predefined patterns, best practices, and industryâ€'specific accelerators instead of starting from scratch
