Integrating Plastic Process Simulation into the Corporate Structure: Marketing and Management Implications

From GRT-Mars, Inc.
 

 

Computer-Aided Engineering analyses are powerful tools for diagnostics and troubleshooting of the injection molding process. However many organizations do not take advantage of these technologies because they do not fit neatly into the corporate structure. Often consultants are used on an ad hoc crisis basis, where costs are higher and potential solutions limited. Integration strategies are discussed for the part design firm, toolmaker, and molder. Implications for financial, engineering, marketing, and management structures are examined, along with cost, timing, and responsibility issues.
