    What’s preventing effective collaboration at your organization?

    Manufacturing work instructions, service procedures, technical data packages, and communication tools are all supposed to improve operations and promote collaboration, both in the factory and field. But many organizations still struggle to share accurate data, create and maintain up-to-date documents, and align work processes across their supply chain. What’s preventing your teams from collaborating effectively?

    Outdated Information

    Without consistent access to the latest data and documents, it can be impossible for everyone on your team to work together effectively.

    Not Accounting for Everyone’s Perspective

    Has the technician gone through the data and offered their viewpoint? What about the engineer? When collaboration is difficult, you may be lacking key inputs.

    Labor Intensive Processes

    Does collecting input require combining different documents, working across applications, and scrolling through long email threads? 

    No Standard Controls

    If exchanging data and collaborating follows a different process each time, the result can be chaotic and confusing — and often inaccurate.

    Unlock the Power of Manufacturing Collaboration

    Anark's manufacturing collaboration research initiative explores the hidden costs of collaboration among manufacturers. The goal? Unlock the power of true manufacturing collaboration. The research will collect real-world experience from manufacturing companies to understand how collaboration makes or breaks bottom lines.

    We want to:

    • Uncover the hidden costs of poor collaboration. Are specialized applications creating gaps between departments? If so, what kind of costs does this create? We’d like to uncover these.
    • Identify best-fit solutions. Often, collaborative workspaces may work well for one group, but leave others behind. We intend to identify the best ways to close these gaps.
    • Better understand organizational alignment. What do people think are their biggest challenges? What kind of solutions are they looking for? What do they think would be a strategic game changer for them?

    Everyone who participates will receive the 100% anonymous results and a readout of your responses in a personalized report. This pay-it-forward approach will result in an unbiased view of the research with an immediate action plan for everyone who participates.
