Paris attise toutes les convoitises : outre son statut de capitale, son maire est particulièrement exposé, y compris à l'échelle internationale, et peut y bénéficier d'un tremplin vers la présidence de la République. De quoi aiguiser les ambitions de personnalités politiques très médiatiques. Ainsi, lors des élections municipales, dont les premier et second tours se tiendront les 15 et 22 mars, les électeurs parisiens auront à départager, entre autres, Sophia Chikirou (La France insoumise), Sarah Knafo (Reconquête !), et Rachida Dati (Les Républicains), habituées aux plateaux des télévisions nationales.Cette dernière mûrit sa revanche depuis 2020 et sa défaite au second tour face à Anne Hidalgo. La maire de Paris en exercice n'a, elle, pas souhaité briguer un troisième mandat : signe d'une certaine usure de son pouvoir, son ancien premier adjoint et désormais candidat à sa succession, Emmanuel Grégoire, promet une « rupture de méthode » avec son ancienne patronne. Il présente, dès le premier tour, une liste d'union de la gauche, avec notamment le Parti socialiste, Les Ecologistes et les communistes.Pour autant, cela suffira-t-il à maintenir la Mairie de Paris à gauche ? Le troisième homme, Pierre-Yves Bournazel, soutenu par différentes ailes de la Macronie, pourrait-il tirer son épingle du jeu ? Quelles inconnues se dressent sur la route de ces candidats, dans un mode de scrutin réformé par la nouvelle loi dite « PLM » (pour Paris, Lyon et Marseille) ? Invitée de cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », Hélène Bekmezian, journaliste au service Politique du Monde en charge de la couverture de Paris, répond à toutes ces questions.Un épisode de Marion Bothorel. Réalisation : Florentin Baume. Présentation et rédaction en chef : Thomas Baumgartner. Dans cet épisode : extraits de vidéos postées par Pierre-Yves Bournazel sur Facebook, le 10 février ; par Sarah Knafo sur Instagram, le 15 janvier ; par Emmanuel Grégoire sur Instagram, le 14 janvier ; par Rachida Dati sur Instagram, le 21 janvier ; des meetings de Sophia Chikirou, à Paris, le 30 janvier, et de Rachida Dati, à Paris, le 10 février ; d'un reportage de France 3 Ile-de-France diffusé le 16 décembre 2025 ; d'interviews accordées par Sarah Knafo à TF1, le 7 janvier ; par Emmanuel Grégoire à CNews, le 26 janvier ; et par Pierre-Yves Bournazel à Public Sénat, le 12 février.Cet épisode de podcast a été mis en ligne le 18 février 2026. ---Abonnez-vous au Monde : https://abo.lemonde.fr/podcastEt réservez vos places pour les lives des 5 ans de "L'Heure du Monde" : https://ateliers.lemonde.fr/lheure-du-monde/174 Hébergé par Acast.

Altium Develop connects your entire electronics product team — from design to supply chain to manufacturing — in one unified platform: https://www.altium.com/develop?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=ontrack-podcast&utm_content=violet-labs-the-integration-hub-solving-hardware-data-chaos   Hardware engineering teams have long struggled with disconnected software tools — CAD systems that don't talk to PLMs, PLMs that don't sync with MES platforms, and engineers spending hours manually copying BOM data between systems. In this episode of the Altium OnTrack Podcast, host Zach Peterson sits down with Lucy Hoag, founder and CEO of Violet Labs, to explore how her company is tackling this pervasive problem. Lucy shares her journey from astronautical engineering and satellite design to building a no-code integration platform that acts as a centralized hub for all the disparate tools hardware teams rely on every day.   Violet works like a "Zapier for hardware engineering" — connecting mechanical CAD, electrical CAD, PLM, MES, ERP, project management tools, and more through a single middleware platform. Lucy and Zach dig into why native integrations between major software vendors remain rare, the regulatory constraints that have stalled innovation in aerospace, and how Violet's no-code approach removes barriers for non-software engineers. They also discuss Violet's newly launched MCP server, the role of AI in responsible data orchestration, and what's next on the product roadmap.

In dieser Episode des Zukunftsarchitekten-Podcasts spreche ich mit Maria Eckey über die entscheidenden Anforderungen an die Tool-Landschaft, um die Konformität mit A-Spice und ISO 26262 zu gewährleisten. Maria bringt als Automotive Spice Competent Assessor wertvolle Einblicke mit, die wir nutzen, um die Integration von Tools in Entwicklungsprojekten zu beleuchten. Wir diskutieren die essenziellen Anforderungen, die Automotive Spice an die Tool-Landschaft stellt, beginnend mit der Nachvollziehbarkeit von Anforderungen – einem Grundpfeiler, der sicherstellt, dass jede Stakeholder-Anforderung eindeutig nachverfolgt werden kann. Dies schließt auch die bidirektionale Rückverfolgbarkeit ein, die es ermöglicht, den Ursprung jeder Anforderung zu identifizieren und zu verstehen, wie sie in die verschiedenen System- und Testanforderungen überführt wurde. Dabei wird klar, dass traditionelle Tools wie Excel zwar genutzt werden können, aber an ihre Grenzen stoßen, insbesondere wenn es um größere Projekte mit zahlreichen Anforderungen geht. Ein weiterer Fokus unserer Diskussion liegt auf den Anwendungslifecycle-Management- (ALM-)Tools und Product Lifecycle Management- (PLM-)Tools. Während ALM hauptsächlich in der Softwareentwicklung Verwendung findet, spielt PLM eine wichtige Rolle in der Hardware- und Systementwicklung. Wir stellen fest, dass die Trennung dieser beiden Bereiche in der Praxis oft zu Herausforderungen führt, insbesondere wenn es um die Integration beider Systems geht. Maria erläutert, dass es essenziell ist, die richtige Tool-Kombination zu wählen, um eine durchgängige Nachvollziehbarkeit zu gewährleisten. Darüber hinaus gehen wir auf die Rolle von Projektmanagement-Tools und deren Integration in die Tool-Landschaft ein. Die Fähigkeit, Aufgaben zu verfolgen, Ressourcen zu verwalten und eine realistische Projektplanung zu ermöglichen, ist von entscheidender Bedeutung. Ich teile meine eigenen Erfahrungen aus der Praxis, die die Wichtigkeit eines durchdachten Konfigurationsmanagementplans verdeutlichen, um die Effizienz zu steigern und potenzielle Risiken zu minimieren. Gemeinsam reflektieren wir die Herausforderungen und Stolpersteine bei der Implementierung von Tools und Prozessen, und Maria gibt wertvolle Tipps zur Auswahl und Anpassung von Tools an die spezifischen Bedürfnisse eines Projekts. Es wird klar, dass nicht nur die Auswahl der Werkzeuge, sondern auch deren Akzeptanz und Nutzung entscheidend für den Projekterfolg ist. Ein weiteres wichtiges Thema ist die Notwendigkeit, interne Kompetenzen für die Tool-Konfiguration und das Prozessmanagement im Haus zu haben, um Flexibilität und Anpassungsfähigkeit sicherzustellen. Diese Episode bietet einen tiefen Einblick in die Komplexität der Tool-Landschaft im Kontext von A-Spice und öffnet den Zuhörern die Augen für die zahlreichen Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen, die zugleich eine Chance darstellen, ihre Projekte effizient zu gestalten und den aktuellen Standards gerecht zu werden. https://www.andreasheidemann.de/barcamp-2025 https://www.qs-barcamp.de/ https://requirementsengineeringcamp.com/ https://lastenhefterstellen/vorgehen-lhe https://lastenhefterstellen/vorgehen-sem # # # # # # # # # # # Meine Mailadresse: feedback@zukunftsarchitekten-podcast.de Brauchst Du Unterstützung bei der Erstellung eines Lastenheftes oder hast eine Frage dazu, dann findest Du meine Email in den Shownotes.

Send us a textThe Configure-to-Order (CTO) space within manufacturing demands systems built for flexibility—balancing standardized components with the ability to configure products quickly and accurately. Unlike Engineer-to-Order (ETO), where each project starts from scratch, CTO relies on predefined options that can be assembled in various ways to meet customer needs. This configuration may occur within ERP or PLM systems, or extend outward through CPQ tools and e-commerce interfaces, depending on how a company structures its sales and fulfillment processes. Given the wide variability in product complexity and go-to-market strategies, there's no universal approach—successful CTO execution hinges on aligning configurability with business objectives and user experience.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 configure-to-order manufacturing ERP systems in 2025. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these configure-to-order manufacturing ERP systems. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each configure-to-order manufacturing ERP system.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

Send us a textIn Engineer-to-Order (ETO) environments, early-stage collaboration with customers is critical, particularly during design and engineering. While general-purpose tools like Smartsheet or Monday.com may aid in project tracking, they typically fall short in supporting the depth and complexity of data exchange inherent in ETO workflows. Similarly, CAD and PLM platforms offer some collaborative capabilities, but their reach is often confined to engineering-specific tasks. The real challenge—and opportunity—emerges once the Bill of Materials (BOM) is finalized: ERP systems must seamlessly take over to drive production and execution. ERP platforms with built-in CAD and PLM integration simplify this transition, reducing technical friction, while those without native support often require costly middleware or custom development, increasing implementation risk.In this episode, our host, Sam Gupta, discusses the top 10 engineer-to-order manufacturing ERP systems in 2025.

At the dawn of creation, sun and moon, stars and planets, birds, beasts, fish and man freely submitted to the authority of God. And then a rebel creature invited mankind to choose their own will above the will of God. And with that, the spirit of lawlessness began to work in this world.  Welcome to our series, “Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness.” In this series, Steve Gallagher and the staff of PLM will offer both scriptural and practical truth aimed at helping each one of us discern whose authority we are under. The authority of Yahweh, or the spirit of lawlessness?

In this second episode of our series on the class struggles on the US-Mexico border, we explore the working class movements that helped shape the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). Over the decade long revolutionary period, Mexican workers and peasants fought to establish rights that had been held back by the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz. Through the PLM, the IWW, the COM, and various peasant organizations, the working classes organized and fought in unprecedented numbers. The different bourgeois forces vying to replace Diaz and consolidate the state under their power sought the support of workers, as their organized strength repeatedly swung the balance of power from one group to another. We discuss the gains, losses, and occasional inspiring revolutionary victories of the Mexican working classes, and how these carry lessons for our struggles today. In future episodes, we'll discuss the consolidation of the control of the Mexican labor movement under the state, the surge in migration to the North, the fight against racist nativism, and the struggles of workers on both sides of the border during the Great Depression.  Join the discord: discord.gg/tDvmNzX  Follow the pod at instagram.com/workstoppage, @WorkStoppagePod on Twitter,  John @facebookvillain, and Lina @solidaritybee

Send me a messageThe Sustainability Thread: Digitalising Supply Chain SustainabilityIn this episode of The Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I sit down with Klaus Brettschneider, Director of Sustainability Products at Linx-AS, to explore how digitalisation is transforming sustainability management. Klaus introduces the concept of the sustainability thread—an evolution of the digital thread—that connects sustainability data across an organisation, enabling businesses to move beyond compliance and embed sustainability into product lifecycle management (PLM).We discuss the challenges companies face, from fragmented data to complex supply chains, and how automation can streamline processes like carbon accounting and lifecycle assessments. Klaus shares insights on regulatory pressures such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), highlighting how businesses must align their IT strategies with sustainability goals to stay ahead.We also cover:✅ Why sustainability reporting is overwhelming teams—and how to fix it✅ The role of AI, IoT, and blockchain in supply chain transparency✅ Why industries like steel and cement are progressing, while agriculture struggles✅ The importance of supplier collaboration in tracking sustainability dataKlaus argues that digitalisation is the missing link in supply chain sustainability. If companies want to make meaningful progress, they must digitise sustainability data, integrate it into their processes, and ensure seamless data flow across their value chains.

Send us a textSelecting the right manufacturing ERP system requires more than just reviewing rankings—it demands a careful assessment of how well a system aligns with your specific operational needs and long-term business strategy. While some ERP solutions excel in single-mode manufacturing, such as make-to-stock or batch production, others cater to mixed-mode environments, providing the flexibility necessary for future growth. Additionally, comprehensive ERP suites with built-in PLM and CAD integrations can streamline implementation but may become restrictive if your manufacturing processes evolve. Market share, acquisition strategy, and technology roadmaps are crucial factors in determining a system's longevity and adaptability. Businesses should focus on ERP solutions that not only meet current manufacturing demands but also offer scalability, ensuring a future-proof investment.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 Manufacturing ERP Systems in 2025. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these Manufacturing ERP Systems. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each Manufacturing ERP System.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.
