Extending PLM to the Shop Floor

The demands of managing the product lifecycle are tremendous, especially if the product is complex and subject to government regulations. Additionally, the lines between the virtual world of design and the reality of manufacturing are quickly becoming blurred. This can be good for both engineering and operations. Technology is helping break down the walls that currently prevent quick and easy access to information and is expanding opportunities for collaboration. Greater data sharing and visibility between departments, facilities and across an extended supply network reduces cycle times, improves quality and efficiency and supports strategic planning efforts.
