MansSYS
ManSYS is a MANufacturing and supply chain management SYStem. ManSYS aims to develop and demonstrate a set of e-supply chain tools to enable the mass adoption of Additive Manufacturing.
Most manufacturers outsource some or all of their manufacturing operations to third-parties specialists on a global basis, but not without complications. ManSYS aims to overcome these obstacles through develop and demonstrate a set of e-supply chain tools to enable the mass adoption of 3D printing.
Most manufacturers outsource some or all of their manufacturing operations to third-parties specialists on a global basis. This allows them to realise cost advantages and open new markets. but not without complications. Communication problems with external suppliers, supply chain visibility and coordination are just some of the obstacles.
ManSYS aims to overcome these obstacles by developing and demonstrating a set of e-supply chain tools to enable the mass adoption of 3D printing. Integrating the information systems of all the supply-chain partners makes it possible to overcome these complications. To demonstrate the capabilities of the platform, demonstrator parts are used from Smith & Nephew, GE and Wisildent.
