SEER for Manufacturing Gets New Processes

October 1, 2008 · Filed Under General  - 0 Comment(s)

Congratulations to the Galorath development team for the latest release of SEER for Manufacturing (SEER-MFG, formerly SEER-DFM).  SEER for manufacturing does root level parametric estimates of parts, processes, and assembly.  These allow the most cost effective designs and processes to be used, reducing product cost and improving time to market. They have added numerous additional manufacturing processes as well as major enhancements in other areas such as learning curve.  And thanks to customers who offered insight on processes and needs.
