FactoryPRO – Product Lifecycle Management

PLM

FactoryPRO’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) has all features required to track life of a product from idea phase to End of Life (EOL). The cradle to grave solution comes with several well integrated modules such as Product Management, Document Management, Change Management, Issue Tracking and Project Management. It is configurable, customizable, easy-to-use, and web-based software which can be accessed by authorized personnel anytime anywhere.


FactoryPRO’s PLM solution has been playing a critical role in managing today’s increasing product complexity and shortened product lifecycle as follows.


Design and Manufacturing Integration: PLM can optimize the entire product development lifecycle. Without PLM, valuable data and process steps may not be communicated across all stages of development


Product Commercialization: PLM process assures that products are ready for global rollout, with effective, reliable data and process governance. Unified data and collaborative workflows across the organization keep things running smoothly and allow teams to respond quickly as per the needs.


Virtual Environments that support Global Operations: PLM provides a central data repository that integrates the entire global process from concept to commercialization of a product. Accessible data: PLM makes all product information available to privileged departments and personnel, improving production efficiency and allowing for a closed loop for all teams involved.
