Manufacturers who develop and introduce their own products and manage supply chains can benefit from modern, off-the-shelf product lifecycle management software and process.

Managers accountable for production, engineering, operations, IT, planning, quality and R&D can learn from the process innovation and productivity gains achieved in recent years by large OEM’s who have implemented PLM systems and delivered cost savings, increased volumes, mitigated supply chain risk and safeguarded reputations and priceless brand equity. For smaller firms, this is not about re-engineering your manufacturing processes, just tweaking and optimizing them.
