The PLM System Evaluation Guide™ - Release 5 |
In today's competitive marketplace, companies without Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) are at a distinct disadvantage. Those with PLM find it streamlines the product life cycle, supports collaborative product realization, reduces operating cost, eliminates waste and material scrap, improves product quality, and -- in some instances -- helps keep the company alive!
While the value of PLM is often clear, defining your requirements is an extremely complicated process, requiring much more attention than buying a personal computer or word processing package. PLM solutions automate the very essence of information representation, access control, and workflow throughout a group, department, division or corporation. Because of this, it is crucial to make the right choice.
The PLM System Evaluation Guide™ 5.0 includes: a 91-page booklet explaining features, functions and requirements; a 60-page set of demo test scripts to help you verify systems capability; and a spreadsheet to allow you to normalize your research. In all, the PLMSET provides you with everything you need to evaluate, select and prepare to implement a successful PLM solution.
Using this guide, you will be able to bring together the diverse community of interests involved in Product Life Cycle Management. You will be able to look objectively at the needs of engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, finance, and just about everyone else involved in product development, and implement a solution that addresses all of these groups' concerns.
In addition to providing a tool to achieve internal organizational consensus, the PLM System Evaluation Toolkit™ will help you work with the PLM vendors to make sure you install and implement just what you intend to purchase, with no surprises. |
