If you’ve considered PLM, but think your business is too complex, think again.
The challenge of letting go of the belief that before evaluating a PLM, you must have everything in order, can be a tough for any executive. Maybe you’re an industry veteran who’s started something new and now your business has grown so fast that it can best be described as organized chaos. Or maybe your business has been around for generations and the way the company is doing business is still stuck in dark ages. Either way, it’s going to be okay.
The reality is that the process of producing a product is generally the same across most industries. Product gets designed, protos and samples are developed, salespeople do their thing, customers place orders and product is produced and delivered. Of course there are a million details that happen during the process, but from a high level, it’s pretty much that simple.
You might feel your organization is a mess, and that you should tidy things up before inviting folks over, but a good PLM provider, should not consider this a barrier, and neither should you.
Rather think about it as an opportunity to invite in years of experience in best practices. A good PLM provider should have have experience in your industry. They’ve been in the trenches of development, and they understand the challenges that you are facing. They’ve seen it over and over again and they’ve created a system that vastly improves your process.
The sooner you get started, the sooner you can reap the rewards that a PLM system will give you, such as streamlined communication, on-time delivery, and a system that allows you to easily pull information in minutes, not days.
