Use an auxiliary camera to “walk” the customer through your factory. With a document camera, show previously produced parts. Using a PC, demonstrate the production and quality control flowchart. Use a multipoint videoconferencing bridge to reach all locations of the customer at the same time.

Product Development and Ramp-up
Use videoconferencing to meet with all key engineering persons to ensure appropriate product design and implementation. Decrease development time and enable smooth product start-ups without travel time and expense. Use a document camera or PC to show prototypes and drawings. Use a multipoint bridge to involve all locations.

Vendor Meetings
Use videoconferencing to meet with suppliers. Contact with them at a moments notice on critical issues such as a quality problems without travel delay.
