INTRODUCTION

Product lifecycle management (PLM) can be defined as an information strategy. It builds a coherent data structure by consolidating systems. You can also call PLM an enterprise strategy: it lets global organizations work as a single team to design, produce, support and retire products, while capturing best practices and lessons learned along the way. At Siemens PLM Software, we view PLM as an information strategy, an enterprise strategy and, ultimately, a transformational business strategy. We see it as a comprehensive approach to innovation built on enterprise-wide access to a common repository of product information and processes.

Product lifecycle management (PLM) software features and functions help manage the development of products and services from the initial idea through to design, production, and delivery. Typical PLM features and functions include product development and portfolio management, manufacturing process management, ideation and requirements management, service data, and regulatory and compliance.

Some PLM solutions also incorporate vital product data management (PDM) features and functions. While some PLM vendors offer comprehensive generalized systems, others offer specialized solutions for process manufacturing, discrete manufacturing, new product development and introduction (NPDI), and industries such as fashion and apparel. To find the best PLM system for your business, it's important to understand which features and functions you need before you compare PLM solutions.

FEATURES AND FUNCTION


Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) The Manufacturing Process Management Knowledge Base addresses the processes associated with Manufacturing Engineering, or Digital Process Design, including the design, documentation, validation, management, and communication of production processes to both internal and external entities.

Product Development and Portfolio Management The Product Development and Portfolio Management Knowledge Base covers the execution processes of new product development projects and programs, including phase-gate processes. It also addresses Product Portfolio Management (PPM), including the evaluation processes of new and existing products and product portfolios to provide the most valuable, balanced, and well aligned portfolio of products.

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) This comprehensive product lifecycle management (PLM) knowledge base models modern product and design-related aspects of PLM for both discrete and process industries. It details product development and portfolio management, manufacturing process management, ideation and requirements management, service data, and regulatory and compliance criteria. This comprehensive knowledge base incorporates the criteria of TEC's other PLM knowledge bases.

Product Information Management (PIM) Product information management (PIM) provides a common, central repository to manage all types of information about finished products. It integrates with back office systems and provides additional workflow management.

Core PLM for Process Industries Core PLM, Product Specification and Recipe Management (PDM and RM) for Process Industries covers the base foundation of PLM for the process (or recipe-based) manufacturing industries such as food & beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical and others. It covers design and product-related aspects of PLM including management of material specifications, recipes, formulas, production processes, design tools, document management and collaboration.

Core PLM for Discrete Industries Core PLM and Product Data Management (PDM) for Discrete Industries covers the base foundation of PLM for the discrete manufacturing industries such as automotive, electronics, aerospace and defense, medical devices, complex machinery and others. It covers design and product-related aspects of PLM including management of material specifications, product structures, production processes, design tools, document management, and design collaboration.

Regulatory and Compliance The Regulatory and Compliance Knowledge Base covers the requirements for ensuring products and their associated materials comply with both external and internal rules and regulations. It covers regulatory and requirements needs, as well as product related components of Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S).

PLM for the Fashion Industry Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) for Fashion is an evaluation model containing tailored PLM criteria and extra functionalities that serve the specificities of this industry in order to help fashion goods (including apparel, footwear, accessory and home fashion) manufacturers and retailers to achieve more efficient product development, lower cost, and better collaboration and control throughout the whole supply chain.

PLM for the Retail Industry Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) for Retail is an evaluation model containing tailored PLM criteria and extra functionalities that serve the specificities of this industry in order to help fashion goods (including apparel, footwear, accessory, and home fashion) manufacturers and retailers to achieve more efficient product development, lower cost, and better collaboration and control throughout the whole supply chain.

CASE STUDY

INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING BRING BETTER PRODUCTS TO MARKET, FASTER As globalization continues to create increased competition and downward pressure on prices, manufacturers of industrial products, for example in the automotive, aerospace & defense or machinery industries, must seize every opportunity to design, develop, produce and sell innovative products faster and more cost-effectively than competitors. However, product development and product quality is often hampered by siloed divisions, globally dispersed teams, inefficient collaboration with value chain partners, and different IT systems managing different parts of the development and introduction process. Oracle Enterprise PLM for Industrial Manufacturing is an integrated suite of software applications that work with your existing design and ERP systems to create a single, enterprise wide management platform for every stage in the product lifecycle, from initial concept to aftersales service. Comprehensive Enterprise Product Lifecycle Management Document Management Product Data Management Configuration Management Product Catalog Custom Engineering Extensive Change Management Real Multi-CAD Support and comprehensive integration Supports distributed working with workflows and optional workspaces High configurability and flexibility At its core is a single source of master product data, enabling all parties in the value chain to access consistent, accurate information ranging from requirements documentation, CAD designs, Bills of Materials and rules for configuring variant products. As a result, critical communications such as engineering change orders can be passed quickly and accurately to the responsible team or division. Oracle Enterprise PLM provides full project and portfolio management functionality, while its AutoVue module enables all parties to view and annotate CAD documents created in most leading ECAD and MCAD packages for easier collaboration with product designers and engineers.
