Product lifecycle management (PLM) can extend the value of your engineering team throughout your organization. Begin your journey to engineering excellence.
Your organization relies on engineering innovation and quality to drive competitive advantage and brand reputation. Engineering data can support products across their lifecycle. However, harnessing that data requires moving beyond essential product data management to embrace a product lifecycle management (PLM) foundation.
Configuration management brings your product complexity under control—by organizing myriad engineering data within a BOM-centric model.
Engineering, manufacturing, sales, and service teams gain access to vital product and process information when they need it.
Configuration management with PLM replaces data gaps, factory inefficiencies, and quality issues with a continuous digital thread that extends through the entire product lifecycle.
Four Ways to Activate Engineering Excellence
Configuration Management: Control Product Complexity
Change Management: Build in Governance and Traceability
Parts Management: Optimize Efficiency and Costs
Enterprise Collaboration: Integrate Siloed Operations

Change is a constant in engineering, making change management a must-have for staying competitive. Comprehensive change management ensures that any modification to a product’s design or components is systematically captured, communicated, and tracked across all departments. This process tears down data silos and ensures that all stakeholders have the most current information, along with insight into the approval process, which reduces rework and minimizes delays.
Build in Governance and Traceability with Change Management
Part management keeps product growth from draining resources and agility. It maximizes part reuse and categorization, decreasing inventory costs and streamlining supply chain processes. Part management with PLM classifies and tracks parts with detailed attributes so stakeholders can easily find and reuse existing parts—minimizing the need for new components.
Optimize Efficiency and Costs with Part Management
Enterprise collaboration removes the data, team, and process silos that create productivity and quality roadblocks. Enterprise collaboration with PLM equips every team—from engineering and manufacturing to sales and service—with consistent, role-based information. It facilitates quicker decision-making, enhances product quality, and ensures the entire organization is aligned with shared goals.
Remove Operational Silos with Enterprise Collaboration
Adopting these strategies will transform how your organization manages its product lifecycle. Each step of your engineering excellence journey will deliver substantial benefits, from improved operational efficiency to better product quality and faster time to market. But strategy will only take you so far; true engineering-led transformation requires partnering with a technology provider that can turn your goals into a reality.
