case study
Integrated PLM roadmap and business case across four product companies, making product decisions traceable
Management needed a fact-based foundation to align priorities, define the target state on high level, understand migration implications, and make an informed implementation investment decision for multi year harmonization of product decision governance
Challenge
An industrial organization wanted to harmonize PLM across four product companies
Different product decision processes, tools and product information flows made it difficult to define a common direction and determine where implementation should begin
Approach
Understanding how the Business Strategy and which Product Decisions should steer the investment
A target PLM roadmap, defining future process needs, tool compatibility, data flow, organization and data migration needs across the four product companies
An integrated implementation plan and business case, establishing priorities, sequence, resources, budget, risks and expected value
Value Added
Implementation-ready foundation providing management clarity on what to implement, where to begin, and how to sequence the transformation
Reduced implementation uncertainty and established a structured path from PLM ambition to execution
Consistent Product Decisions across product companies, functions and disciplines will enable a reduced Time to Market when implemented
