Product Lifecycle Management-ERP Integration
In the Flat World, manufacturing companies face challenges in driving sustainable product development followed by effective launch and commercialization. The main challenges include an increasingly diverse and global set of customers with expectations of customization and flexibility/configurability. In addition, the supply side has become complex with the need to orchestrate multiple entities including design partners, suppliers, software houses and integrators.
To accelerate time-to-market and optimize product development costs, manufacturing companies must:
- Incorporate customer insights into product design and development programs
- Enable development of more configurable, modularized designs that allow for better alignment with customer expectations
- Scale collaboration capabilities to meet deadlines of geographically distributed programs
- Ensure designers and engineers have access to relevant information for decision-making
- Create a single internal and external view of product across the design and development chain
