DFSS Approach for Economic Success of PDM Implementation

 

Digitizing product data by deploying a PDM system  may prove to be insufficient in addressing the business problem in its entirety. Existing business processes have to be analyzed to determine whether they are adequate, and the necessary changes should be incorporated before embarking on digitization. The economic success of a PDM implementation in the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) space depends on identifying key business drivers, designing and IT-enabling capable processes, and continuously monitoring the digitized processes as well as the PDM system.
