In today’s competitive world, every manufacturing organization is striving to deliver high quality, reliable products with an optimized cost-performance balance and increasingly rapid development cycles. During the full product lifecycle – from requirement gathering to product retirement – a huge amount of data is generated; some of this is a well organized, but much more is distributed across texts and spreadsheet files, on local computers and on websites, blogs, periodicals.

With advanced big data analytical techniques, the insights locked in these files can be unleashed and used to not only improve the development, production and supply processes, but also transform the product design process so as to become truly customer-centric.

Capgemini’s Engineering Analytics solution will enable manufacturers and asset-intensive industries to leverage data from all aspects of the manufacturing value chain to derive the insights required for process reengineering, value creation and value delivery.

Our analytical services in this space include:
