Product Life Management (PLM) is the end to end process that covers product equipment configurations from ‘as proposed’ to ‘as designed’ to ’as built’ to ‘as installed’ through ‘as exists in the field’. PLM is a framework that covers all the critical information that affects a product.
We provide PLM support for a major power equipment manufacturer through marketing, sales, engineering, manufacturing, finance and services functions for a significant number of products across a wide customer base.
We provide PLM support for a major power equipment manufacturer through marketing, sales, engineering, manufacturing, finance and services functions for a significant number of products across a wide customer base.
The majority of PLM is handled through a third party package that integrates the functions mentioned above. We have developed specific applications that interface with the third party package and provide input for product cost based on the proposed engineering bill of materials, proposal generation, application engineering, design engineering tools, product structuring and standardization. We have also developed and deployed applications that support the field operations in the areas of reliability, availability and maintainability.
PLM has resulted in reduction of the overall product delivery cycle and an increase in the accuracy and validity of the customer data as changes in the bill of materials automatically generate the corresponding changes in downstream systems.
