EnterVision EAS V6.1 - Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
Module
Product lifecycle management (PLM) is the process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product from its conception, through design and manufacture, to service and disposal. It is one of the four cornerstones of a corporation's information technology structure. All companies need to manage communications and information with their customers (CRM-Customer Relationship Management) and their suppliers (SCM-Supply Chain Management) and the resources within the enterprise (ERP-Enterprise Resource Planning). In addition, manufacturing engineering companies must also develop, describe, manage and communicate information about their products (PDM).
PLM benefits include:
Reduced time to market.
Improved product quality.
Reduced prototyping costs.
Savings through the re-use of original data.
A framework for product optimization.
Reduced waste.
Savings through the complete integration of engineering workflows.
Product data management (PDM): Product Data Management is focused on capturing and maintaining information on products and/or services through its development and useful life. Typical information managed in the PDM module include: part number, part description, supplier/vendor, vendor part number and description, unit of measure, cost/price, schematic or CAD drawing, material data sheets.
Track and manage all changes to product related data.
Accelerate return on investment with easy setup.
Spend less time organizing and tracking design data.
Improve productivity through reuse of product design data.
Enhance collaboration
