W.E.T. Automotive Systems AG Selects MatrixOne to Speed Product Design and
Development; MatrixOne Furthers its Leadership in the Automotive Industry
WESTFORD, Mass., Oct 30, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- MatrixOne, Inc. , a
leading provider of product collaboration solutions for the value chain(TM), today
announced that Germany's W.E.T. Automotive Systems AG, a leading
manufacturer of seat heating systems and conductive components for the
automotive industry, has chosen MatrixOne to supply product collaboration
solutions that will allow global product collaboration between W.E.T.'s subsidiaries
in Germany, Canada, USA, Mexico, Hungary and Malta. MatrixOne's eMatrix(TM)
and Value Chain Portfolio(TM) will enable W.E.T. to accelerate more innovative
products to market, providing global access to product and project information,
and will allow for common processes for all of W.E.T.'s global subsidiaries and
their suppliers.
This is another significant win in the automotive industry for MatrixOne and
strengthens its position as the leading product collaboration vendor to the
automotive industry. W.E.T. is a partner to tier one automotive suppliers and
nearly all worldwide automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
MatrixOne's eMatrix product collaboration platform, an open, scalable, secure
framework for deploying, integrating and developing product collaboration solutions
across the value chain, will enable W.E.T. to improve processes in its
geographically distributed company, enabling its subsidiaries in various countries
to become fully functional businesses capable of performing customer specific
product developments with local partners. The sharing of information and
processes through eMatrix will ensure adherence to W.E.T.'s product and process
standards through common product structures, revision and change management
processes, and it will also support W.E.T.'s quality standards.
By providing unified product information and processes for all of the company's
subsidiaries, W.E.T. will also be able to integrate partners and suppliers into their
systems and guarantee the implementation of quality-assurance processes and
guidelines. W.E.T. will reduce time for document searches and shorten storage
times with consequent reduction of overall development cycles. In the first project
phase eMatrix will be implemented in the company's customer centers in
Odelzhausen, Germany and Windsor, Canada with a phased rollout to W.E.T.'s
global subsidiaries.
"To anticipate future challenges in the global automotive supplier market, W.E.T.
Automotive is proactively adjusting the corporate structure, and making no
compromises on improving quality and productivity," said Dr.-Ing. Robert
Sto(beta)er, director of business integration for W.E.T. Automotive Systems AG.
"The ongoing global industrial networking - both of our customers and our
suppliers - demands that the company maintains a presence at an international
level. We are meeting this demand by instituting new ways for our employees to
collaborate with our customers, suppliers and partners. By globally managing our
product development processes with eMatrix we will be able to substantially
improve product quality and consequently enhance time-to-market."
"W.E.T. Automotive is in a continual process of improving products as they adapt
to market conditions, and using eMatrix will enable them to drive improved
efficiency, speed, and innovation to the way they bring products to market," said
Hans Ruigrok, global vice president of sales for MatrixOne. "MatrixOne is the
leader in partnering with top automotive companies in the world to reduce costs,
compete globally, shrink time-to-market cycles, and deliver customer-specific
vehicles. MatrixOne accomplishes this by enabling companies to solve business
problems across an automotive product's lifecycle - concept, design, development,
sourcing, and delivery."
