PLM System Evaluation and Selection

Comprehensive activities to document requirements, evaluate vendors, and select a product lifecycle management solution.

The client struggled with managing their private label product. Specifically, their existing environment:

• Had minimal or no workflow, task management and measurement or visibility to calendar adherence
• Was built on disjointed foundational product structure
• Did not fully support product development, sourcing and production data integrity, management or visibility
• Needed to support a common repository of pre-production information for internal and external users
• Did not integrate historic and projected costs into the design process
• Did not facilitate management of sourcing capacity and materials consumption by geographical region or vendor
• Did not facilitate direct development and design collaboration with agents or vendors
• Had no logistics tracking
