PLM software slashes design time

PDXpert PLM software avoids wasted development effort:

	Data-rich bills of materials enforce consistency and offer real-time assembly cost roll-ups
	Design files are secured in a central server, minimizing rework from damage or loss
	Affected users review designs concurrently, without distracting the designer
	Existing designs are easy to find, duplicate, rework and reapply to new products
	Convenient Item Explorer puts recently-opened items, assigned tasks and checked-out files at your fingertips

PLM software accelerates release and change cycles

Perhaps PDXpert PLM software's most remarkable impact on revenue is the substantial efficiency gained when processing product releases and changes. A non-automated process usually requires extensive document collection and copying efforts, repetitive and error-prone change order creation, and relying on time-consuming interoffice mail or on an engineer or change analyst walking the package from office to office. Involving supply chain partners may require express parcels, insecure or lost mail, irrelevant or incorrect file attachments, and a host of other time-wasters.

PDXpert PLM software contains all product information in a secure central location; allows multiple users simultaneous access to the data; provides templates for change types, including pre-defined review workflows, approving departments and interested observers; identifies all dispositioning tasks and rolls up cost impacts automatically; and utilizes email so there is no lag between one person's approval and the next person's notification. Changes can typically be pulled back, reworked, and resubmitted without leaving your desk to chase down a physical package.

Efficiently create, process, approve and distribute design, production and service data

The practical benefits of PLM have been proven.

In one independent study, a US medical device manufacturer cut their ECN process from 33 days to only 5 days. A European gas appliance manufacturer saw a 75% improvement in time-to-market.

Your company can see a substantial reduction in change cycle time in weeks.
