PLM Webcast

There were 15 major food recalls in the United States last year. With recalls, only 40% of the product can be recovered. The average cost is $20M, with 14% of companies having write-offs in excess of $50M. When a category has a recall, 57% of consumers reconsider buying the affected product for at least a year.

Reduce Risk and Accelerate Benefits with PLM Vivo

Recently, the food and beverage industry was named the second most crisis prone industry in 2008 by the Institute for Crisis Management. As companies face greater potential liabilities with non-compliant products, increased time to market pressures, and growing product complexity, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.

Traditionally, PLM implementations cost more than $750,000 and require anywhere from 22 to 35 weeks to deploy. To reduce demands on time and resources, Kalypso and Oracle present PLM Vivo: a pre-configured PLM solution implemented in just 13 weeks that saves up to 66% in costs.

Join Jim Brown, President, Tech-Clarity and former VP of Aberdeen PLM and Manufacturing Industry Practice; George Young, Kalypso Founding Partner and CPG Industry Practice Lead; and Kevin Kennedy, Vice President, Oracle Agile PLM Sales for a webcast on Thursday, August 13, 11AM PST to learn about industry trends driving the need for PLM Vivo, and how this solution can help your company realize significant benefits by:

Reducing the complexity, time, and effort to roll out PLM with go-live in just 13 weeks
Optimizing efficiency and minimizing costs while better guaranteeing consumer safety, brand protection, and consumer confidence
Increasing traceability of materials from ingredient to finished product with links to primary and secondary packaging processes
Significantly reducing cost of regulatory compliance
