PLM and ERP Drive Digitalization

• Our product information is not managed throughout the lifecycle—as a tangible, valuable asset.
• Digitalization is difficult to achieve since our data tends to be scattered, dirty, and inconsistently available.
• Our digitalization efforts are often broken by the product development.
• Implementing PLM and ERP without a full understanding of how each impacts my organization’s ever-evolving strategy breaks the digital thread.
• Digitalization breaks down when data is always being re-keyed.
• Rework is aggravated by slow processes and errors.

• You will gain an understanding about how optimizing the roles of PLM and ERP in digitalization can solve real business issues—cost, quality, time-to-market.
• You will get a clear view of the roles of ERP and PLM along the product lifecycle—from conception through manufacturing to end of life.
• You will understand how PLM and ERP support the concept of Industry 4.0, the digital twin, and the digital thread.
• You will be able to explain how these two critical product-supporting initiatives positively impact how well companies deliver products that their customers want.
• You will learn about the benefits of adopting a formal PLM-ERP strategy that provides the information your organization needs to develop a digitalized, Industry 4.0-enabling process that leads to higher quality and profitability.
• You will be able to articulate the value of digitalization throughout a product’s life to others at your company.

Regardless of where you are along the digitalization journey you will find this webinar to be timely and informative. Attendees can come from many parts of organizations—PLM is cross functional and feeds ERP, manufacturing, and other downstream processes. People from multiple levels will find the information pertinent and valuable: managers, product engineers, manufacturing planners, installation and services practitioners, IT, purchasing—anyone impacted by how an organization defines, uses, and communicates product information.
