Alfa Laval Speeds Time-to-Market Through Global Product Development

Overview

Geographic distances among employees used to delay the product development process. Alfa Laval wanted to turn its globally dispersed workforce into a competitive advantage. Siemens created a unified design department working from Denmark, the United States and England. One of the advantages of Teamcenter is that Alfa Laval can now practice true concurrent engineering across its three global sites. Even better, the company can now make the global distribution of its design team work in its favor instead of as a disadvantage.
