BENEFITS

CAMeLEAN^® brings a multi-level range of benefits that offer significant savings in time, efficiency and costs - both direct and indirect. With the benefits timeline spread over the immediate to the long term, the key focus of saving in CAMeLEAN^® is on streamlining the manufacturing information pipeline for critical value addition. By allowing the organization to extend their information sharing with other players such as partners, suppliers and customers, CAMeLEAN^® enables organizations to achieve remarkable synergy through collaborative value. The benefits classification below will help in illuminating the range of benefits offered by CAMeLEAN^® and its ROI implications for manufacturing companies.

CAMeLEAN^® actually enables intelligent Lean Manufacturing allowing companies to derive the following cost savings:

	Reducing Capital Cost: By visually quantifying the entire manufacturing planning process, manufacturers can make intelligent informed decisions on heavier [costly] vs lighter machinery [cost effective], mechanical vs robotic assembly cost comparisons, factory space optimizations and build vs buy decisions.
	Reducing Operating Cost: CAMeLEAN^® provides resource optimization tools at the planning stage itself helping companies view labor and material surplus points in the manufacturing process. Productivity ratios guide manufacturing production whose optimization further leads to Material Inventory optimization and its resultant cost impacts.
	Reducing Change Orders: CAMeLEAN^®'s strength lies in identifying bottlenecks before they happen. By pin-pointing areas of concern at the planning stage, it helps prevent costly change orders and the serious dislocations that cascade through the entire manufacturing process.
	Monitor Process Timing with Accountability: CAMeLEAN^® gives the complete Process picture of the entire Manufacturing Life Cycle. It enables the advanced tracking of critical parameters decided upon by the strategic planning group for complete monitoring of Process timings thereby serving as a productivity control system. It also fixes accountability - the result is an early warning system that has serious cost consequences.

CAMeLEAN^® bolsters a company's competitive ability in responding to market pressures - specifically in improving the time to market. The factors below give the reasons why:

	Reducing Design Time: CAMeLEAN^® provides real-time collaboration between key players at the designing stage. Each design change and its implications are immediately visible with requests and approvals and key information all in an integrated system. This not only reduces design time, but also the margin of error - enabling remarkable compression of the design stage in the manufacturing life cycle.
	Reducing Production Time: CAMeLEAN^®'s process visibility and accountability drives improved work efficiency. Global access to information, in real-time, speeds up decision making at all stages of the manufacturing life cycle. Improved production times are the resultant effect of all these change factors.
	Optimizing Capacity: CAMeLEAN^®'s analysis tools allow advanced line balancing and layout optimizations. Integrated Program Management functionality provides detailed Resource Allocation reports that allow management to further optimize their workforce for improved productivity.

CAMeLEAN^® realizes the business value of impeccable product quality - it has made it an intrinsic part of the entire planning process. Summarized below are the CAMeLEAN^® drivers of the quality program:

	Reuse Best Practices: CAMeLEAN^® uses the metaphor of templates and libraries for effective knowledge management. Best Practices are captured and shared throughout the extended enterprise. With valuable knowledge usually stored in senior personnel's minds, CAMeLEAN^® perpetuates this experience treasure trove beyond their tenures - for efficient recycling of manufacturing knowledge.
	Control of Processes: CAMeLEAN^® puts management in the driver's seat by providing a high level of control of the manufacturing process Lifecycle. With real numbers behind critical parameters, defining performance, productivity and progress, CAMeLEAN^® delivers a critical command and control system for guiding the manufacturing effort.
