Halo Enables a Swift, Successful Move of HP Manufacturing Operations From Corvallis, Oregon to Singapore

Overview

Like many large multinational companies with dispersed manufacturing facilities, Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) has sought to attain cost savings by consolidating its manufacturing operations. While needing to maintain ongoing output of its products, the transition of an assembly line from one location to another - sometimes half way around the world - is an enormous logistical puzzle that has to be very carefully coordinated with full knowledge transfer occurring between the groups involved. Chartered with transferring a production line from its R&D beginnings in Corvallis, Oregon to a permanent home in Singapore, the HP manufacturing team looked for new ways to make the transition as effort-less as possible and turned to the HP Halo Collaboration Studio.
