Follow on Google News | SunPower’s Pascal Rassinoux to Keynote at CIMdata’s PLM Road Map High TechPresentation will chronicle how SunPower deployed PLM throughout the organization by adopting a lean methodology.
By: CIMdata, Inc. In his presentation, “How SunPower Deployed PLM Globally: Adopting PLM the Lean Way,” Pascal Rassinoux will share how his team responded to a challenge from SunPower’s leadership to find a way to get the benefits of a traditional PLM implementation only faster and better. Six years ago SunPower had a number of challenges in new product introduction. In particular, each product team had its own distinct process and system for managing configurations and changes, making cross-functional collaboration difficult. At the same time SunPower was gearing up for its biggest challenge to date: construction of the California Solar Valley Ranch project. In response attempts were made to launch a comprehensive, global PLM program in a traditional way, requiring consultants, IT professionals, a six-figure budget, and new hires to sustain the new tools. The plan failed to get funded. However, the need for a PLM solution did not go away. This keynote presentation will chronicle how the SunPower team overcame these constraints by adopting a lean methodology, with a pragmatic, cloud-based approach to deploying PLM. That new approach successfully reinvigorated the PLM program back to the original, enterprise scope at a fraction of the cost. As SunPower’s Senior Operations Program Manager, Pascal Rassinoux has implemented PLM solutions across multiple groups in over nine countries. He currently heads a team that is responsible for configuration management processes as they continue to extend PLM adoption throughout the enterprise. PLM Road Map for the HTE Community is the must-attend event for HTE industry executives and PLM practitioners globally—providing independent education and a collaborative networking environment where ideas, trends, experiences, and relationships critical to the HTE industry germinate and take root. The theme for this event is “Innovating in a Nanosecond World: How PLM Makes Innovation and Collaboration for the HTE Industry Repeatable, Sustainable, and Scalable.” For more information visit http://www.cimdata.com/ End
