Eliminate hidden friction losses in Mechanical Engineering with End-to-End Processes

In many mechanical engineering companies, purchasing, quality management, and service operate independently of one another. In his guest article for MM MaschinenMarkt, CTO Markus Petelinc explains the costs this generates and how end-to-end processes based on a shared database can prevent them.

The focus is on a closed-loop process. Feedback from the service department is forwarded to quality management and procurement. Known defects are corrected by the supplier, preventing the need for repeat service calls. Purchasing also evaluates suppliers based on their quality. In addition, the article explains why end-to-end mapped processes form the basis for the documentation required by the EU Machinery Directive and the Cyber Resilience Act. With inforum, purchasing, quality management, and service teams work together in a single software platform using a shared database.

To get started, Markus Petelinc recommends three steps: Identify system gaps, start with the biggest pain point, and look for opportunities for expansion.
