Minerva Benchmark Program

Executives from leading manufacturing organizations state improving their product development processes is a top priority this year. The pandemic uncovered multiple areas for improvement where companies can reduce costs, shorten time-to-market, and overall increase revenue while supporting remote work.  

What are your organization's potential areas for improvement? Why not have your existing processes compared and benchmarked against industry best practices and regulatory process classifications by top leading professionals in the field.

At Minerva, we know the importance of challenging business practices and processes when engaging with our customers. By encouraging an organization to look beyond established procedures, we generate better efficiency that may lead to the discovery of new services or business models that could provide new revenue streams.

How we benchmark

Minerva works together with you to evaluate current processes, identify improvements, and analyze how you can evolve from the current state to the desired state. Through the combination of our proprietary methodology that goes well beyond the surface and includes regulatory and trade requirements,  our benchmark program delivers insight and actionable results.

Our experience and insight originates from decades of experience working with large, global manufacturers to start-ups. We include details and best practices from our customers, with permission, as well as other companies who provided input and feedback to help raise the bar of discrete manufacturing across the globe. Our in-depth process works regardless of which digital tools (PLM, PDM, ERP etc) are used by the company or provided by Minerva. Take advantage of our process excellence benchmark and see what your organization can achieve.
