Imagine a scenario at a leading medical device manufacturing company: a group of product leaders, engineers, and manufacturing professionals at a New Product Introduction (NPI) planning meeting. The project is ambitious, aiming to set new industry standards. However, they face challenges in coordinating across various departments – managing the process of design controls, regulatory requirements, Bill of Materials (BOM) management, and change management across the product lifecycle, among others.
During the meeting, the leaders jotted down the top few challenges:
These challenges underline the need for effective Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software that can streamline processes, enhance collaboration, and ensure compliance.
In today's fast-paced, innovation-driven industries like medical devices and manufacturing, selecting the right PLM software is pivotal. The choice you make can significantly impact your product's journey from vision to production.
Use the following checklist to figure out if the PLM software you’re choosing is right for your context.
A robust PLM system should offer automated, modern BOM management capabilities - allowing for accurate tracking of materials and components throughout the product development process.
Change is inevitable in product development. Your PLM software should facilitate seamless engineering change orders (ECOs) and associated steps including changes in design, materials users, supplier management, etc.
The ability to consolidate data from various systems (like ERP and MES) and provide a unified view of product data is essential for informed decision-making. Key questions to ask here:
The software should support the design and optimization of manufacturing processes, enabling efficient production planning and execution.
Managing the lifecycle of parts and items is crucial. The right PLM software should provide comprehensive tools to manage this aspect effectively.
Integration with CAD systems ensures that design data is seamlessly incorporated into the PLM environment, fostering better collaboration and design accuracy.
A cloud-based PLM is critical to drive cross-functional collaboration across locations. Product data visibility becomes easier with a solution built on the modern cloud. Other important factors include: scalability (both user growth and addition of new functionality), flexibility and configurability of the solution, and all of this becomes easier with a cloud-based solution.
Managing risks and ensuring compliance is non-negotiable, especially in industries like medical devices. Your PLM system should have robust features to address these needs.
Look for features that help in reducing cycle times and increasing overall development efficiency, such as advanced analytics and workflow automation. Does the PLM software have AI and data analytics capabilities? This is going to become more and more critical going forward.
The system should offer traceability throughout the product development process and facilitate the incorporation of feedback to avoid costly rework.
Selecting the right PLM software is a strategic decision that influences your product's success.
Additionally, ComplianceQuest’s platform has embedded AI technologies and advanced analytics. Every user across the organization can benefit from applied AI use cases and smart recommendations that make everyday tasks much easier.
