Making the Case for ‘Practical PLM’

A “practical PLM” solution delivers efficiencies right out of the gate, while easily scaling to meet evolving needs. To do that, the solution has to allow product development teams to focus on the big 4 problems that plague so many engineering departments:

  1. Finding files
  2. Making revisions without errors
  3. Controlling change orders
  4. Dropped balls due to poor collaboration

In this 8 page white paper, the editors at Desktop Engineering explore how three companies addressed those challenges by implementing practical PLM solutions.

The Risks of Status Quo in Product Development

Today, engineering must balance the needs of manufacturing, procurement, customers and more, alongside those of the product’s form, fit and function.According to analyst Chad Jackson of Lifecycle Insights, executive leadership is calling for more visib…

Turn Disruptive Changes Into High Tech’s Next Big Thing

New advancements in battery technology are having a disruptive impact on product design in the dynamic consumer electronics sector.

It’s a domino effect. When a change to a component occurs there’s a rapid engineering effort to incorporate, source and purchase the component. Manufacturing line/tooling, cut-ins, as well as the production floor are impacted and then there’s dealing with scrap and rework, marketing and servicing.

Companies without the vision and solution to respond to change and adopt new technologies quickly could lose in this competitive fast-paced high tech market.

Discover how Arena PLM helps product companies shift product direction quickly to turn today’s disruptive changes into tomorrow’s “Next Big Thing”.
