Foundation for Open Innovation, Part 1: Invention vs. Innovation
How many times have you heard from a co-worker - “I’m not a scientist or engineer; I can’t innovate.” This frame of mind frustrates many forward thinking managers and stands in the way of systematic creative work, especially in technical environments. This blog post defines invention and innovation, setting the stage for a broader Open Innovation discussion.

Advancements in Regulatory Compliance Capabilities for PLM Show Promise
Keeping in line with ever-changing regulatory initiatives such as RoHS, WEEE or (FDA) 21 CFR Part 820 can be a daunting task, particularly for manufacturers operating in multiple markets or with large numbers of product variants. Not only do regulations have the potential to derail a new product midway through development, but the consequences for non-compliance are often severe, ranging from hefty fines and brand deterioration to litigation and/or license revocation.

Top Strategic Goals of PLM
And Why “Going Live” Isn’t One of Them
Planning to implement a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution or optimize your current PLM efforts? The potential value of PLM is huge, and continues to grow as the scope of PLM expands. To maximize value for your company, it’s important to have well-defined goals that are tied to your business strategy. Read More

10 Proven Practices for Successful PLM Evaluations
Selecting a product lifecycle management (PLM) solution that is best suited for an organization’s immediate and long-term needs is a complex and demanding task. The right software and implementation approach can provide shortened time to value for the many benefits of PLM. A poor selection, on the other hand, can result in budget overruns, implementation delays, user dissatisfaction and in the worst case, the need to repeat the evaluation process to add missing functionality or to even replace the entire system.

Calling All Engineers: Beyond Form, Fit and Function for Formulated Products
Like most engineers, I learned about rules of interchangeability back in school. These rules help companies decide whether a product change should require a new item number or simply a revision of the same item number. The standard “form, fit and function” (F/F/F) definition has served the needs of discrete manufacturers well for a long time. But what about formulated products? Read More

Increased Regulatory Scrutiny in Consumer Products
Four reasons why industry leaders aren’t losing sleep
Over the last several years, consumer product safety crises - from peanut butter to spinach to toys - and their subsequent large-scale recalls have damaged public opinion. Heavily scrutinized and publicized in the media, these events have not only hurt consumer trust in household brands but have affected all consumer goods companies by ricochet. Incidentally, these major recalls have also created momentum for governments to act, catalyzing and accelerating regulatory scrutiny of industries across the globe.
