Site Survey

By meeting with personnel from various disciplines within your company, CMstat professionals gain insight into your current business processes and an understanding of your CM and DM goals. This information is used to formulate recommendations for process improvements that will help you achieve your objectives.

The review will highlight areas where your company is excelling, as well as detailing what changes should be made to take you to the next level. The survey is conducted on-site over two to three days with initial results presented at a debriefing held at the end of the visit.

Within two weeks you will receive a detailed report with generic recommendations for process improvement and best CM/DM practices and, if applicable, CMstat-specific features and functions that will help you achieve your goals.

Requirements Analysis

CMstat has the expertise to evaluate your current business processes and point you in the right direction for getting control of your product data.

Our CM and DM trained personnel will come to your site and use our evaluation techniques to gain a thorough understanding of your current business processes and plans. We review any documentation you can provide and also interview those individuals who are involved in the data in any way. This gives us a multifaceted view of how you do business, what works and what users aren't happy with.

During the evaluation, we will expose areas of concern where errors are introduced or automation is needed as well as highlighting what is working well and bringing you value in your current processes.

The result of the Survey is a detailed road map that will tell you how to move forward with process improvements, implementing a tool (CMstat or otherwise) and a schedule with milestones along the way so you can see exactly how long it will be until you are seeing return on investment.

Our customers have used this service in the past to help them streamline processes, improve control and usability of product data, give greater visibility of information to various groups within the organization and plan for roll out of new product features.
