Reduce Direct Materials Costs and Indirect Materials Costs

Lower direct materials costs streamline indirect materials costs

Manufacturers are working with PTC to reduce their direct and indirect material costs by using augmented and digital work instructions, real-time asset monitoring, and predictive analytics to reduce waste during production and generate results like:

Increase in yield

Innovative approaches to reduce both direct materials costs and indirect materials costs

The idea of reaching near-zero levels of waste and rework used to seem out of reach, but new technologies are cutting both direct and indirect materials costs. Identify and eliminate hidden sources of waste and address problems before they arise with real-time asset monitoring and digital work instructions.
