Today, a significant amount of work goes into managing supply chain traceability for compliance and often results in increased costs in time and effort. With rising pressures from the government agencies and human rights groups, companies must collaborate with suppliers to get the required data that indicates whether their products contain specific ingredients that are restricted in certain countries and regions. For instance, the Dodd-Frank Act in the United States that now requires retailers to report traces of tin, tungsten, tantalum and/or gold sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo and surrounding nations (known as conflict minerals) in their products. Brands and retailers are finding it difficult to get their suppliers 100% on-board with this conflict-free compliance program due to the overwhelming costs and commitment that is required. Sending requests to hundreds of suppliers while keeping track of responses, accuracy of their feedback, commitment deadlines, and regular updates can quickly become a logistical

 PDF Key takeaways: A resilient, stable PLM upgrade requires an effective quality plan and a solution to ensure that the plan is adhered to A key part of an effective quality plan includes automated testing technology to enable consistent and repeatable validation to be performed early, supporting timely corrective action and minimizing or eliminating surprises SQS’s PLM testing framework is used by Siemens PLM Software’s Teamcenter development and maintenance groups to test and validate Teamcenter Major manufacturing companies use SQS to ensure the quality of their PLM upgrades and implementations What Could Possibly Go Wrong? An enterprise PLM environment is a complex system of systems comprised of technology and processes to support the people who define and manage the product definition. Launching a new or updated PLM environment, or any enterprise solution in a manufacturing company, has many benefits, but also can have significant cost and potential risks.
