What is PLM, and why do I need PLM software?
Product lifecycle management definition
Product lifecycle management
(PLM) manages historical data, current configurations and planned changes relating
to the definition, design, validation, production, support and ultimate disposal
of engineered products.
While any product life cycle can be managed with PLM software, complex engineered
products (such as machinery, industrial measurement and control instruments, medical
devices, automotive parts, communications and consumer electronics, and aerospace
components) will especially receive the benefits of a PLM system.
Think of PLM as both (a) a central data hub for all information that affects
a product, and (b) a communication link between marketing, engineering, manufacturing
and field service. Your PLM system is where all product information from marketing
and design comes together, and where it leaves in a form suitable for production
and support.
Benefits of PLM software
You'll see significant benefits of PLM software from
-
Increased revenue by slashing design time and accelerating release and change
cycles
-
Reduced product costs by encouraging more collaborative design, eliminating
many production errors and rework, and minimizing excess and obsolete (E&O)
inventory
-
Reduced administrative overhead by simplifying regulatory and contractual
compliance, and by reducing process administrative and clerical costs

A simple, affordable PLM software solution
PDXpert PLM software is a simple, flexible PLM solution that merges the
principal features and capabilities from earlier product data management systems
(PDMS), CAD data file managers, configuration management tools, and engineering
drawing management systems (EDMS).
PDXpert PLM software is specifically tailored for growing companies to
address these functions:
Other PLM vendors often make their PLM tools complicated, but we want your PLM
purchase to be fast and easy. PDXpert PLM software requires only a relatively
current computer with Microsoft Windows; we supply the application server and client
software, and PLM database along with extensive help and training materials. As
a result, PDXpert PLM software's simplicity, flexibility and low cost yields
an ROI that can be up to 5 times faster than other PLM vendors' solutions.

PLM or product data management software?
In the past, you may have looked at PDM software, and may now be wondering how PDXpert (or any other) PLM software is different from PDM software. We give
you the answer here:
PDM software or PLM software: what's the difference?
Using PDXpert PLM software as your configuration management tool
Smaller engineered product companies are often required by regulatory agencies
or supply chain partners to develop a configuration management process. Adopting
PDXpert PLM as your configuration management tool will help meet that
requirement. The PDXpert PLM database can be configured to meet your company's
specific configuration management requirements and industry CM best practices.
In addition, the benefits of an automated configuration management tool are available
in a surprisingly simple and affordable solution. The PDXpert PLM database
architecture is designed to scale from single users to medium-sized enterprises,
requiring minimal IT support while providing flexible configuration management options.

Time to escape your Excel BOM spreadsheets or Access BOM database?
Challenges of Microsoft Excel bill of materials spreadsheets
Smaller companies often begin their path to commercial product lifecycle management
software by working with Excel BOM templates. These spreadsheet templates are easy
to construct, and can be useful for a short period. But you'll begin to see the
complexity and expense of maintaining BOMs using Excel after you have only a few
dozen bill of material spreadsheets. Once you have over about 50 spreadsheets, the
risk of expensive production errors due to clerical mistakes rises significantly.
Learn the 10 pitfalls of Excel bill of materials spreadsheets.
Designing a Microsoft Access bill of material database
Developing your own Microsoft Access bill of material database may avoid many
typical BOM spreadsheet problems, but represents an even greater investment in time
and resources.
Is it cost-effective to develop your own Microsoft Access bill of material database
software?
PDXpert PLM software is an efficient, affordable alternative that has
all of the features you'd include in your own PLM system, along with the user documentation,
training, support and on-going upgrades that simply aren't feasible for "do it yourself"
BOM database solutions.
