We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Supply Chains",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Open systems transform building industry from
LonMark International, which we summarised at the time by saying "Independent systems integrators are evolving into a greater source of knowledge and experience, taking on the role of advisor and technology partner".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Reach conferences scheduled for Antwerp from
Smithers Rapra: "Smithers Rapra's Reach conferences are designed to inform companies of the current status of the legislation and how to become compliant in the most cost-effective and efficient manner possible".
In July 2007, we covered the news from PTC - Parametric Technology (UK)
concerning its Pro/Toolmaker 8.1
- take a look at Toolmaking software supports multiple CAD types
which says: "Pro/Toolmaker enables companies to reduce scrap costs, increase product quality, decrease production time, and deliver products to market faster".
Take a look also at the news release from ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation), Safety expert status awarded,
as well as Chemical regulations discussed at conference from Smithers Rapra,
and Polymer, defence and aerospace industries gather from Smithers Rapra.
