INCREASE DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY

SAP PLM supports the complete product development process, including innovation and service processes at early development stages. The application strongly supports design and engineering phases and the hand-over to follow-on processes such as manufacturing. SAP PLM supports portfolio planning, including idea and requirements management, portfolio management, strategic and operational resource management, as well as project management in the development process.

At the document planning phase, you can manage technical document, parts, and product and process structures. SAP PLM also supports classification and variant configuration. For discrete industries, the solution uses bill of materials (BOMs) and routings. For process industries, it uses specifications and recipes. SAP PLM also provides as-built and as-maintained structures for service and maintenance phases.
