What is most important when considering and looking at a PLM system?

Three main goals of integrated PLM

Whilst the role of PLM is about information, how it is produced and handled, disseminated and shared, its goals have an impact on the whole business of any company engaged in its practices. It can be considered a core pillar of a company’s success; the backbone of everyday operations and a practice that helps define and reinforce the competitive advantage.

If you intend to review how dependable your own approach to PLM is, and the software you use to implement it, consider its reliability in achieving three main goals:

  • Design efficiency and productivity
    Are you able to deliver the correct design data to any user, on any device, across the company? By securely storing and managing engineering design data and related documents, you can quickly find and re-use design and engineering data.
  • Cost reduction
    Are you able to free up design engineers to focus on innovation rather than administration? By integrating product information with Procurement and Production you can deliver improved quality at lower costs.
  • Speed to market
    Have you automated data sharing across your supply chain? By ensuring data accuracy for each delivered unit you can support field management and turn users into advocates; favourably impacting reputation and facilitating sales growth.

Make it easy, make IT smarter

With the creation of robust, consistent, and unified information at its heart, PLM addresses the day-to-day issues that may arise from inconsistent information sources and methodologies, but can only do this if they’re all brought together in one platform. Such a platform can provide an automatic, and automated, connection between the constituent phases and practices involved in the overall PLM process.
