Product Development
Use videoconferencing to meet with other sites to discuss product designs and schedules. Make the meeting accessible to all key persons and decrease development time without the travel expense and productivity loss. Use a document camera or PC to share drawings and prototypes. With a VCR, play a tape of a product test or record the meeting for persons who could not attend. Use a multipoint bridge to involve all locations at one time.
 

Employee Training
Use videoconferencing to train employees on the latest industry standards, design techniques and testing procedures. Increase the skill of your workforce and the availability of training to remote sites. Use a document camera to show prototypes and drawings and a PC to show presentations. Use a VCR to tape the training for those who could not attend.

Production Engineering Issues
Use videoconferencing to communicate with manufacturing sites on production engineering issues. Save manufacturing line down time and resolve problems fester without having to travel to the factory site. Use a document camera to show problem parts and a multipoint bridge to reach all locations at the same time. With an auxiliary camera, view the problem right from the factory floor.

Vendor Meetings

Manufacturing Communications
Use videoconferencing to communicate with remote manufacturing sites. Communicate during product development to ensure smooth production start-ups and faster time to market. Use a PC or document camera to communicate product designs and show prototypes. Use a multipoint bridge to speak with all locations at the same time and allow them the benefit of seeing the interaction from the other locations.

Test Evaluation
Use videoconferencing to discuss the results of product tests with vendors and remote development and testing facilities. Improve time to market and productivity while reducing costs associated with travel time and expense. With a VCR, show a videotape of a product evaluation. Use a document camera or PC to show tested parts and testing flowcharts.
