Automotive Round Table

Automotive Roundtable on “Enabling Efficient New product program management” hosted by SAEINDIA and supported by SIEMENS as per dates and location indicated below.

 Kindly confirm your participation indicating the location as the Roundtable will have a compact audience for meaningful deliberations.

These are challenging times for the Indian automotive industry. Today suppliers are facing global competition. Far-reaching decisions have to be made under pricing and time pressure as well as under the pressure to innovate. A big issue is that a lot of manufacturers are still calculating with spreadsheets resulting in a high error rate. A problem is also the shorter product lifecycle and complex product structures that imply a quick availability of reliable cost estimates. The conclusion is that manufacturers need a high degree of cost transparency to face all this challenges while maintaining profitability and meeting delivery expectations.

However, to realize more profitable growth, automotive suppliers need to consider opportunities to optimize product costs, realize reliable cost estimates to achieve target costs, move from disconnected tools to an integrated solution with consistent data and standardized costing methodology, streamline cross functional collaboration and communication and ensure enterprise wide transparency of cost drivers. Thus, a more holistic approach to managing product cost will enable the automotive industry in India to achieve greater success in this dynamically changing industry.

 We are pleased to invite you to a roundtable hosted by SAEINDIA and supported by Siemens PLM Software, where a select group of senior executives from the automotive industry will come together to discuss the trends as well as challenges and opportunities for enabling efficient new product program management.
