FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
3C Software To Educate Manufacturing Leaders on Cost Management
3C Software’s CEO Matthew Smith has been invited as a
presenter at the 2005 National Manufacturing Week Convention
in Chicago. The session is designed to educate the audience
of the benefits that an integrated cost management approach
can improve profit margins. Themes include real-life
examples of effective costing processes in industries
including paper, semiconductor and food processing.
Session Description
Wednesday, March 09, 2005 9:30 am - 10:20 am
Session Track: Manufacturing & Management
Managing costs is a crucial activity for most manufacturers
to remain profitable in today's markets. Increased global
competition, fluctuating prices of inputs and changing labor
market are only a few considerations that companies must
take into account when making key business decisions. Cost
managers and plant leaders are left with the daunting task
of interpolating production and financial data to develop a
strategy for streamlining costs and improving profitability
while still meeting customer demands.
While creating an effective business strategy is the first
step in developing a sound costing strategy, it is not
enough. Companies also need to understand whether their
current technology supports the overall cost management
goals. Buzzwords like 'system integration' and 'centralized
access' become important in aligning goals for production
facilities in different cities and often on different
continents. The technology should enhance the improvement,
not snarl it with expensive and overwhelming problems.
3C Software's CEO, Matthew Smith, has a wealth of experience
and relevant real life case studies to share with
manufacturers across industry verticals regarding
implementing technology to improve costing processes. During
this session, Mr. Smith will highlight clients in industries
ranging from pulp and paper to semiconductors, sharing real
situations and solutions that manufacturing leaders will
find both interesting and useful in their quest to manage
costs and analyze business trends.
