Most process improvement efforts have traditionally relied on measuring, analyzing, improving, and controlling the operations based on what happened in the past. Therefore, it has taken generations of managers to reap tangible benefits. Real-time wireless applications raise the bar in getting the right things to the right place at the right time in the right quantity to enhance the workflow while minimizing waste. New technology allows manufacturers to get a more accurate and timely view of the process and helps managers to make the decisions as the events unfold. Whether you have embraced lean, Six Sigma, or your own methodology, in this session, AT&T will give you an in-depth view of business process mobilization and practical guidance for getting started.

In this webcast manufacturers will learn:

  • Why using wireless in the enterprise and plant makes good business sense.
  • The application areas where wireless can make a difference
  • How accessing real-time information from a mobile device can improve existing lean and six sigma practices
