MOTIVATION
Accelerating innovation and achieving a higher competitive edge in today’s
global market represent a significant challenge to many companies.

The traditional approach is based on NPDI practices that are: Slow,
Resource intensive, costly, inflexible, and hard to control and manage.

MOTIVATION
Overcoming limitations of traditional approach through: PLM
PLM advantages:
•
Reduce the non-value added activities
•
Enable real time collaboration
This is possible through:

Integration of all product related data and processes;

Elimination of the boundaries in the value chain.

MOTIVATION
Where do companies stand on the Implementation or “Maturity” scale of PLM?
“The average
PLM
maturity is
slightly over 2”.
Most companies are at a low implementation level [1]
