Managing variability with heavy equipment PLM software

In today’s global markets, heavy equipment manufacturers must keep up with customization demands and regulatory changes without sacrificing consistency, quality, or profits. It is essential to combine configure-to-order (CTO) and engineer-to-order (ETO) efforts with a product lifecycle management (PLM) software to ensure success. In this white paper, learn how leveraging a PLM software-based approach to variability management will help you meet your business goals.

Streamlining product development and manufacturing processes

If asked what matters most to your business, you may say some combination of saving money, time and headaches. With PLM software, you’d save all three. PLM software can help streamline product development and manufacturing processes by creating a single, consistent definition of variability across all domains, from product planning to execution and service. A PLM also offers automated validation of uniqueness records to prevent duplicative work and reduce redundancy. PLM offers a centralized database, part classification and categorization and lifecycle tracking, making it easier than ever for engineers to re-use existing parts.

Added benefits of cloud-based SaaS systems

Investing in cloud-based SaaS systems allows users to onboard quickly with software designed for an optimal user experience. Another added benefit of web-based cloud software is that you can work from any device, at home, in the office or on the shop floor. A cloud-based SaaS system also allows you to scale up or down to meet your changing business needs quickly and easily.
