Achieving Product Diversity

Achieving Product Diversity with Scale

A white paper focused on how manufacturers can create the right products for the right market using a global platform approach.

For many manufacturing companies, offering more than a “one size fits all” product is highly desirable, if not necessary, but they lack the means to manage the process effectively and efficiently. Achieving product diversity with scale is now possible with a global platform strategy. This whitepaper explains how a consistent product platform approach can help manufacturers meet the varied requirements of market, region, and customer-specific products without drowning in complexity.

Highlights of the “Achieving Product Diversity with Scale” Whitepaper include:

• Why is product diversity important? How can manufacturers leverage it to capture new customer and market opportunities?
• The challenges of managing product diversity and how they can be addressed with a global platform approach.
• What makes up a successful global platform strategy? It’s more than just technology. The enterprise must be aligned throughout the value chain.
• Is a global platform strategy right for your company? What your answers are to a key list of questions will provide valuable insight into whether a platform approach would be a good strategy for your company.

Managing product platforms in a consistent manner enables manufacturers to achieve product diversity with scale, resulting in cost savings for their organization and their customers.
