Integware Releases January Tip List for Successful Implementation of PLM Plans

FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Feb. 26, 2014 - PRLog -- Integware, a Product Life Cycle Management consulting and leadership company, provides PLM solutions that are both efficient and cost effective, allowing them to meet challenges and innovate competitively. Earlier this month, the team released a blog post titled "Implementing PLM Plans Effectively," by consultant Michael Kiel. The blog listed seven useful tips that business owners can keep in mind as they examine their approach to PLM.

Foremost on the list was an important tip to "plan ahead," which Integware believes is necessary for successfully developing company infrastructure. "Try to think ahead at least three years, considering the growth you expect to experience," advises Kiel.

It's fair to say that Integware's approach is constantly staying faithful to this advice -- the company uses their "Six Sigma PLM Process Excellence" tool to help companies prioritize their automation process. In fact, according to Kiel, "The software associated with PLM solutions utilizes engineering tools to allow several processes to take place simultaneously, making product production as much as 70% more efficient." It's not surprising that Integware has been able to help so many companies become more profitable, given the tools they have at hand.

That's just the beginning of the company's approach, though. As they advise in another point on their blog, it's important for companies to "Measure, measure, and measure some more." Kiel explains: "It's hard to quantify the impact of a PLM program unless you have a solid understanding of your current productivity. Before you start the purchasing process, document your current development process and identify areas of potential growth." It's necessary to establish a baseline before engaging with PLM -- otherwise, it will be difficult to gauge in what ways the company has actually improved.

Integware's helpful tip list, along with their other tools, advice and services, will undoubtedly help client companies improve in understanding how to cut down production time, and associated production costs.
