Controls & Operations Management (COM)

Often there is a disconnect between core manufacturing operations and the enterprise. Between the shop floor and the top floor, competitiveness can be eroded by unpredictability, inefficiency and poor operational visibility. But apply the right expertise and put a framework in place to continuously improve processes -- and significant gains can be realized across the manufacturing value chain.

At Cognizant, our EMS practice creates industry-specific workflows and related solutions frameworks that bridge the "shop floor-to-top floor" chasm. Our Controls and Operations Management (COM) solutions are component-based frameworks that leverage industry best practices and standards. Use them to control costs, increase productivity, enhance customer service and produce goods more efficiently.

May be your current operations are lacking visibility of production and inventory status. Perhaps you cannot access accurate information in real-time to proactively improve. Whatever your specific challenges, Cognizant's team of COM consultants provide solutions spanning products, implementation, support, and enterprise integration (ERP to plant automation) services. And for global manufacturers, we reduce your total cost of ownership by standardizing implementation across international production locations.
