![Doing iPLM right.
4 Steps to Best-In-Class PLM
1. Organize current Product data in PLM
o Organize Data to match [USE REPLACE COMPANY NAME]’s actual Product Lines
o Change access controls to match Global requirements
2. Implement and Align Business Process in PLM and Production Support Systems
o Change Management
o ECR/ECN
o SKU
o Deviation
o PDP Process
o Automate and Expand the current Product Development Process (PDP)
o Document Control
3. Project Management in PLM
o Project Management is the key to accurately Control, Manage, and Report on Product Development.
o Manage and Control deadlines, assign tasks, and assign deliverables (Eccellent)
o Globally urate and real time product data across groups, teams, locations and vendors
4. Additional PLM Modules according to production priority
o Quality: Add in CAPA, FRACAS etc.
o MPMLink: Manufacturing Process Documentation, BOM Control
o PartsLink: Parts Classification
o Supplier Management: Supplier and Vendor Management](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/theroadtoplm-180116204444/85/The-road-to-plm-8-320.jpg)
The road to plm
- 2. What is PLM? • PLM systems are designed to manage the full product development cycle of a product through its entire evolution until that product is obsolete. • According to Wikipedia, PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) originated at American Motors Corporation (AMC) as a way to speed up its product development process and to compete with larger competitors in 1985. • PLM systems are sometimes misunderstood. Some companies have the opinion that PLM system is mainly for the Engineering department – this perception is only partially true. A PLM system is designed to manage the whole product development process from concept to end of life. • PLM goes way beyond basic CAD file administration…
- 3. What is PLM? • PLM integrates a multitude of critical cross-functional activities… • Product Strategy • Portfolio Management • Product Management • Ideation Management • Requirements Gathering • Product Design • Product Engineering • Product Validation And Compliance • Product Costing • Product Quality • Direct Material Sourcing • Manufacturing • After-Market Services • Product Retirement This picture shows the importance/value these enterprise applications have during the product development process
- 4. What is PLM? • Aspects of PLM • Product Structure And Reuse • Tightened BOM Creation and Control • Product Data and Documentation • Design Reuse • Program/Project Management • Centralized Program and Project Management • Product-Line Control • Task Delegation with Deliverables • Collaboration across Business Units • Engineering Changes • Stage-Gate Approvals • Ideas And Requirements • Quality Tests And Defects • Issues, root cause and test results • Product Costs PLM
