What is 'PLM'?
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is an industry term used to describe the business
solutions that allow a company to manage product related information
and processes throughout the lifecycle of a product from concept
and definition to production, service, and retirement and throughout
the extended enterprise that creates and uses the product information.
By closely linking a company's engineering, production and maintenance
operations, PLM enables accurate communication of product and asset
information throughout the extended supply chain. It enables design
engineers, quality managers, business partners and manufacturing
staff to work together in a collaborative environment for product
development. For plant operators
and maintenance managers, PLM provides a complete and integrated
solution to manage their assets from the investment decision onwards
through maintenance management and replacement. The solution also
incorporates business partners' knowledge into the design, management
and maintenance processes, resulting in higher product quality and
greater flexibility to meet customer needs.

Only the fast survive
Solution Brief PLM
The pressure in your markets to be innovative, enhance quality
and cut costs is continuing to rise. You therefore need to accelerate
your development processes while, at the same time, improving product
quality and the use of resources - through Product Lifecycle Management
(PLM). Rather than working with heterogeneous systems and data,
your employees will access a consistent, up-to-the-minute data pool.
As a result you can enjoy the competitive advantages of increased
process efficiency and transparency, more productive employees
and lower costs.
PLM shortens development cycles
Numerous analyses show that PLM, combined with standardised development
methods, can shorten the development cycles for new products by
up to 60 per cent - regardless of their complexity and therefore
regardless of the industry.
Up to now, PLM has been most prevalent in the automotive and high-tech
industries, as well as in mechanical and plant engineering. However,
it is also becoming increasingly important in other industries,
for instance in the consumer goods, chemicals, and pharmaceutical
industries.
Whether you combine it with customer relationship management, supply
chain management, enterprise resource planning, computer aided design
or supplier relationship management, you can rest assured that implementing
PLM will bring you crucial advantages in areas such as the ability
to deliver, methods of addressing customers and service.
