Reducing costs and controlling production may be just one of the effective measures to deal with the economic crisis and market downturn. But can enterprises not only pay attention to reducing costs, but also make product innovation work better? This may be one of the issues that manufacturers need to pay more attention to.

At present, the product research and development of many enterprises have been wholly or partially dependent on PLM system. Therefore, the improvement of enterprise PLM system capability is related to the efficiency and success or failure of enterprise product innovation. PLM has become the focus of manufacturing enterprises.

In the current market environment, a good product life cycle management is very important to enterprises, which involves the improvement of productivity, including the improvement of personal productivity, application productivity and IT productivity. Enterprises' attention to PLM should focus on these three points.

For enterprise product R & D, the main factors that affect personal productivity come from the speed of obtaining R & D data. For example, can developers get the data they need or the latest data more quickly? If you can, you can shorten the development cycle of the product.

A product development involves all kinds of data, including general document processing, mechanical design, electronic design, software design, etc., which describe product specifications, dimensions, purchase prices, application lists, technical specifications, etc., they are all part of the data of the product development process. In fact, these data are often scattered in different systems, which brings great inconvenience to the data acquisition of R & D personnel.

TiPLM implements a single database to manage all the data related to product development and process, which directly improves personal productivity. Achieve integration with logical capture and physical layout tools for other solutions.

In fact, in other PLM systems, it also reflects the support and integration of users' daily office software, ECAD and other systems. This shows that the PLM system, which is targeted at product lifecycle management, has not only gone out of the scope of application by professional R & D and designers, but also reflects the characteristics of convenience and simplicity.

Paying attention to the application is the main direction of PLM, such as engineering process management, requirements management, project management, bill of materials management, supplier management, content and document management, knowledge management and so on. These are not only the main functional components of the PLM system, but also the key content that PLM manufacturers continue to improve and optimize, at the same time, they are also the focus of enterprise users.

The third new part is formulation, packaging and brand management. through the brand management function, the new solution can help enterprises eliminate inconsistent brand elements, enhance brand communication, and then promote brand growth. Recipe management includes formulation decomposition and integration with formulation tools to integrate information into a single source of information. By requiring all relevant information and ensuring its visibility, packaging and original drawing management functions can reduce product errors and recalls. In addition, it also includes community collaboration, which is attractive to enterprises that do not have PLM.

Deployment is a prerequisite for PLM applications. Due to the different IT environments and information strategies of enterprises, the deployment requirements of PLM systems are also different. However, at present, manufacturers can basically provide flexible deployment methods.

Some experts believe that with the expansion of enterprises' demand for PLM and the gradual popularization of applications, PLM systems are gradually developing in the direction of customizable solutions, efficient multi-level collaborative applications, multi-cycle product data management, knowledge sharing and reuse management, and popular application of digital simulation. Behind these directions is the focus on personal productivity, application productivity and IT productivity.
