Title: Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)


1
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
  • Organisational Strategy
  • Need for structural change
  • IT tools
  • Increased integration (rather than point
    solutions)
  • Provide targeted tools for SCM at various stages
    in the life cycle of products
  • SCM is initially geared for planning / execution
    with existing products
  • Not sensitive to life cycle
  • Volvo to enable better global coordination in
    manufacturing process planning.

SAP web site
  • Bring products to market quicker with better
    designs
  • Postponement , more resilient etc
  • Support collaboration between
  • Internally marketing and sales, planning and
    production, procurement, and maintenance
  • Externally partners, suppliers, contract
    manufacturers, service providers -- even
    customers
  • Allow the management of new assets, environment,
    health, and safety requirements
  • Allow integration between mysapERP, mysapSRM,
    mysapCRM and mysapCRM!

3
Components
  • Specification data sheets
  • Document management
  • Structured repositories
  • Complex authorization system
  • Partner work areas
  • Eg suppliers (for bidding stages)
  • Workflow and status management
  • Connection to backend systems (BOMs, suppliers
    files, asset registers etc)

4
PLM Stages
  • Plan
  • Define
  • Build
  • Support
  • .
  • Imagine this in the context of a portfolio
    approach
  • different products at different stages
  • Different information needs
  • Different partners / emphasis
  • Imagine the IP problems too.

5
Plan Innovate and spec.
  • Up to 80 of product costs are determined in the
    very early stages of life cycle
  • Collaboration tool for multinational projects
  • Bring stakeholders at an earlier stage
  • Cost saving adjustments
  • Investigation of variants
  • Exit strategy
  • Increase speed of development
  • Reduce unnecessary changes during product life
    cycle
  • Allow asynchronous work and ensure security of
    data
  • Support global development teams

6
Define Develop and Validate
  • Computer aided design
  • Common repository of customer requirements
  • Real time validation / compliance
  • Simulation of performance
  • Enormous reduction in cost in comparison with
    physical prototyping
  • Computer aided development of production tooling
  • Optimised routings
  • Accurate projects of cost per unit

7
Build Produce and deliver
  • Translation of design of solution into
    manufacturing execution (traditionally
    disconnected)
  • Less structured task because more dynamic and
    diverse
  • Many competences (quality validation, process
    improvement, plant design, resource management
    etc..)
  • Greater continuity, collaboration and cohesion in
    the on-going improvement of products

8
Support Service and Sustain
  • Close the loop
  • Connect front line staff with early planners
  • Communicate new/changed requirements
  • Check if predictions are true
  • Learn for next release / new products
  • Involve all partners in process
  • Manage a complete portfolio of products
  • Knowledge management across sites, competences
    and across systems (ERP, SCM and CRM)
