Story
Consumer Discretionary work at Nikon spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in Japan. Operations visibility was splitting across regional habits. Operations engineers asked for a shared way to run plant and field operations without freezing local judgment.
Cadence (Virtuoso) is what they standardized on. Cadence Design Systems supplies computational software for integrated circuit, system, and PCB design used by electronics companies. Nikon uses it as the system of record for operations visibility, with operations engineers as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
