Read the white paper, Electronics Production Planning, by Jay Gorajia, Director, Global Services – Digital Manufacturing Solutions at Siemens Digital Industries Software, to learn how to make manufacturing part of your organization’s enterprise digitalization strategy.

Having a digital enterprise strategy is required to remain competitive. Traditionally, electronics manufacturing has been a separate part of the overall product development process. Electronics assembly manufacturing has predominantly been siloed with disjointed ecosystems, organizations and processes. This white paper focuses on the business challenges of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and vertically integrated manufacturers that design large and/or complex products. We will address the challenge of designing, planning and manufacturing a product that is both mechanical and electronic.
