Industry Trends and Drivers:
- Increased Product Complexity:
Today products contain both the hardware and the software aspect, as well as a side of digital which makes products even more complicated. This complexity forces organization to employ Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software. Integrating teams of different disciplines and regions is one of the main tasks of PLM systems. It means they are effectively responsible for assuring components are designed, developed, tested and integrated properly. Further, the PLM software ensures that there is compliance in terms of the information being used, saves time from numerous mistakes brought about by data entry and enables easy modification of information. They do this by delivering what is called the Product Information Hub.
- Need for Collaboration and Integration:
PLM software is also a real-time collaboration tool that provides information to everyone in the product’s lifecycle process. They include Design and Development, Manufacturing, and Supply chain management. It also unifies the common aim for its members as far as intercommunication and data exchange are concerned. It cuts across the different organizational structures, it eliminates delay of miscommunication, it enhances project synchronization. Furthermore, it facilitates collaboration and integration process reduces the time for product development, maintains quality, and aligns the team with objectives/horizons.
- Regulatory Compliance:
In today’s world numerous industries encounter some restrictions in the manufacturing of products, creation of new products, and distribution of products. PLM software helps companies achieve these rules. It provides features for document collaboration and change, tracking and for maintaining audit trails. These features make some of the safety, quality and environmental requirements to be met. In healthcare it deals with issues that concern rules governing medical devices to mention but a few. They make certain to document all changes to make sure that they are revertible. They also reduce the chances of noncompliance with the facilitate the approach. This helps to safeguard to expensive fines, product recall/ and loss in reputation.
