PLM is Product Lifecycle Management, called product life cycle management in Chinese, which covers all stages of products from concept, design, development, manufacturing, sales to maintenance, and has a strong management function that plays an important role in enterprises, which will be discussed in detail in this article:

1. Establish an integrated development data management platform.

The PLM system can ensure the integrity, accuracy, uniqueness and security of data, so that enterprises can realize data sharing in the production process and establish an integrated development data management platform.

2. Realize standardized management of materials.

Through the PLM system, the company establishes the material reuse and optimization mechanism at the front end of R&D and design, supports the modular design of products and mass customized production, facilitates the production process, realizes the standardized management of materials, and improves the production quality and production efficiency of products.

3. Support transparent project management.

The PLM system can make the product development process and project management process transparent, understand every aspect of product production, improve the efficiency of process and project execution, shorten the project cycle, accurately grasp all aspects involved in production, and ensure the smooth progress of the production process.

Fourth, complete engineering change management.

In the process of production, adjustments will inevitably occur, but the PLM system can achieve comprehensive management of change activities and ensure the accuracy, timeliness and traceability of change information. Timely changes can also be recorded and saved in time, and the PLM system can handle production changes.

5. Integrated management of design and production.

The PLM system can realize the integration between various systems, and the complete production process will include a variety of links, and the PLM system is the key to improving the overall operation efficiency of the enterprise through the close integration with the design tool software and the production management system.

6. Achieve paperless management.

The PLM system can realize paperless R&D and application, realize cross-departmental information sharing and enterprise experience and knowledge sharing, reduce costs, store data on the network platform for management, reduce resource waste, and make resource acquisition fast and efficient.

The PLM system supports the integrated management needs of R&D and design, production and manufacturing, and the best chain, provides a complete integrated solution for intelligent manufacturing, and enhances the competitiveness of enterprises, which has a huge role in enterprises. First of all, to shorten the delivery cycle, PLM as the data source, through the information platform, to establish a fast channel from design to production and operation, efficient transmission of data, greatly shorten the product delivery cycle. Secondly, to improve product profits, the PLM system realizes platform interoperability, cost information is pre-positioned, and standardized and transparent processing costs are standardized, so that the product development stage can be controlled in advance, which can effectively control costs and improve product profits. Finally, to ensure product quality, the PLM system realizes centralized control of process data, builds a perfect change system, and improves product quality.
