Embracing Product Diversity Across the Product Lifecycle
Product variability offers significant advantages but also introduces complexity. Without the right tools in place, managing variants can disrupt operational efficiency, lead to potential errors, and increase quality costs. Advanced PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) capabilities provide comprehensive support for product variant management, enabling manufacturers to engineer products by choice. This approach allows for seamless management of product geometry, embedded software, bills of materials, and configurable logic, all from a single data source.
