Perot Systems' eServ Unit Debuts Lean Product Development Center

Center Helps Firms Increase Efficiency and Quality; Shortens Time Required to Bring Products to Market by Extending Principles Of Lean Manufacturing To The Product Development Process

Plano, Texas - October 25, 2007 / PRNewswire / – Today Perot Systems Corporation's (NYSE: PER) eServ unit, introduced a new engineering operations center (eOps) to help the global engineering services industry improve the control and management of Lean Product Development.

The eOps Center presents a paradigm shift in the methods by which products are developed. The Center uses a robust array of tools to help firms improve product development, collaboration, and manufacturing of their product in the global marketplace.

"Managers of manufacturing firms understand that the factors to achieve product profitability are time, cost and quality. Applying the right person at the right time along with the right amount of resources is critical to the success of any project, but many challenges combine to turn this process into an enormous challenge," said James Richmond, president of eServ. "The complexity of modern day products, the equally complex number of software platforms required for design, not to mention the challenge of personnel and project management can together potentially conspire to bring any engineering effort to its knees."

The goal of the eOps Center is to give manufacturing firms the tools to overcome these obstacles by more effectively managing time, cost, quality, and communication. The Center manages these resources globally and applies metrics, using a DMAIC approach (the Six Sigma methodology of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control). All projects are tracked in real time with current progress and estimated future completion. The sophisticated Tele-Data-Video-Presence (TDVP) uses state-of-the-art communication systems to complete change management and offer a unique product development industry help-desk.

The potential results include efficiency gains on product development, better knowledge input into the product development process, globally controlled information and resources, better products brought to market faster at lower total cost.
