Product Lifecycle Management
Control every product revision from design to release
What it does
Product Lifecycle Management tracks product data, bills of materials and routings through every revision. Engineering change orders move through defined stages, each type carrying its own approval rules. BOMs and routings keep a version history showing what changed, when it changed and which engineer signed it off, with dashboards covering pending updates and open changes.
Who uses it
Engineering, production, purchasing and quality teams who raise, review and approve product changes.
Where it fits
Product master data feeds the sales item and inventory records used elsewhere, so pricing and stock work from the latest released revision. Approved changes update the routings production runs against and keep purchasing aligned with the components a build actually needs.
