Digital Enterprise Society is the authority on the transformation to a digital enterprise, impacting all areas of an organization. Tune in for discussions among industry leaders about operations and action needed to drive digitization principles forward for the future of product development and life cycles.

Live from ConX19 in San Diego, Thom Singer and Craig Brown welcome Jeanne Rues,  Managing Director of Engineering Services at Allison Transmission.  Jean has joined the conversation to talk about the ways that PLM is working to meet the needs of manufacturing engineers.  She offers insights into the benefits of simulation testing and explains how the Digital Enterprise is working to help engineers and vendors achieve greater system integration.  Additionally, Jean shares advice for what should be the next move for anyone that is looking to further their career in the fast-paced and constantly changing production industry.

On today’s podcast, you will learn:

How PLM can meet the needs of manufacturing engineers

• ● Improvements need to be made on manual, disconnected processes.
• ● Industry challenges are equivocal to the challenges engineers are trying to solve.
• ● Computer-aided design, prototype BOM and engineering BOM can all benefit from PLM.
• The benefits of simulation testing over physical testing

• ● Simulation allows engineers to better keep pace with the increased evolution of the product lifecycle.
• ● The complexity of systems is continually increasing, adding pressure for innovation.
• ● Simulation allows for more effective vehicle testing at a quicker rate and lower cost.
• What can the Digital Enterprise provide to customers and vendors?

• ● Engineers are working to share performance information with customers that will help use products more effectively.
• ● Being a digitally transformed organization varies by company, but it always allows for greater engagement with vendors.
• ● PLM can help vendors utilize the analytics that allow for greater integration.
• Advice for your next career move

• ● Recognize that building a career is hard work, then show up, take risks and own your mistakes.
• ● People will notice when you are willing to lead and take on more than just your designated assignments.
• ● Identify coworkers that have taken risks and what the consequences have been.
• ● Taking on new projects can bring risks, but the results will always be rewarding.
