Granta - Materials Strategy Consortium

Granta - Material Intelligence


Consortium overview This unique collaborative project guides development of software to help manufacturing enterprises in optimizing specification and use of materials. Members gain competitive advantage through early use of leading-edge software, networking with their peers, and support and consultancy from Granta.	The Consortium solution The product design and manufacturing process must do much more than deliver functional products. It must meet strategic objectives such as minimizing cost, complying with regulations, or enabling global manufacturing. Materials decisions are central to these objectives. Sustainable success requires strategies to optimize materials decisions not just for individual designers, but across the enterprise. The Consortium provides a solution to these challenges.

Materials strategy publications

Download the white paper Optimizing Materials Strategy - can you afford not to have one? This explores how manufacturing enterprises can meet wider product design objectives related to strategic drivers such as cost, environmental legislation, and global manufacturing. Materials decisions are central to these objectives. Includes case study material not available elsewhere.

Materials strategy events

Granta organizes regular seminars that attract leading manufacturing organizations and materials producers to discuss issues of materials strategy, and the role of software solutions in addressing them.
