Key objectives of the end state Intimacy Speed Connectivity Knowledge leverage
An execution strategy to deliver maximum value Embarking on PLM Customer Intimacy - What customers are pulling? - What programs are targeted? - Who is willing to partner? - What areas add value? - What partners can deliver ? - What consolidation is required? Tool / Data Strategy Business Alignment - What part of the business process? - What paradigms are the most critical? - What key initiatives An execution strategy to deliver maximum value
What the “Business” will see with PLM More influence with Customers Cost Reduction Customer pull Differentiation (top line growth) Cycle time Reduction Decrease time to Revenue Reduction in Cost of poor quality Decrease cost Infrastructure consistency Decrease cost Ability to execute globally Decrease Cost Revenue growth , Op expense reduction
What the “end users” will see with PLM Integrated environment Reduced cycle time for managing artifacts Standardized user interfaces Faster response to get information Easy leverage of other’s knowledge Allow Engineers to be Engineers
Lessons Learned Who Approach Manage Customer buy-in Think big, start small Leverage synergies Think of PLM like a product and implement like a system Manage Program (not project) management Get the right metrics
