Operational Alignment Across Engineering and Manufacturing

Ben Ketchum, Jordan Piatek
2/9/2026

Watch this on-demand session to explore how cross-functional alignment can improve manufacturing outcomes and operational scalability.

This webinar outlines how integrated product life cycle management (PLM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) processes, master resource planning (MRP)-driven planning, and structured engineering change management work together to create a unified operational ecosystem. Crowe specialists explain how leaders can strengthen traceability, reduce waste, and drive more predictable, efficient execution across engineering and manufacturing.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Improve data flow between PLM, ERP, and MRP systems
  • Strengthen traceability and decision-making across the product life cycle
  • Distinguish between engineering change notices and engineering change orders to prevent downstream disruptions
  • Reduce rework, waste, and planning delays through structured change control
  • Build more predictable, efficient manufacturing operations through alignment

Note: Only attendees of the live webinar are eligible for CPE or CLE credit for qualifying webinars. If you view the webinar recording on this page you may not be eligible for CPE or CLE. For questions about CPE, contact [email protected].
