Product and process innovation
Product quality and complexity. High costs. Long development times.
Industrial machinery companies that are slow to market may find that consumer demands change by the time they introduce their products. Companies with extended cycle times find that they don't have the time to develop extended bid differentiation, and costs are higher due to mark-ups to cover unforeseen product risks and potential downstream changes. To succeed, companies need customization, product variety and flexibility.
Simply keeping pace with the market is not enough. It is also necessary to differentiate. This requires increased offer and product differentiation not just in performance, but also factors such as service, supply and even aesthetics. IBM PLM business innovation can help your business to be first in a new market, and also to win share in developing or mature markets. Leverage existing knowledge sources. Embed knowledge into shared tools that support the development process. Enable the re-use of downstream processes and assets such as test procedures and manufacturing tooling.
Increased competition within the challenging industrial machinery climate means companies must shrink the timescale of design and development schedules while improving their rate of innovation. IBM product innovation can provide improvements in design, manufacturing, simulation, testing and quality management. Flexibility to accept and efficiently deal with change late in the development or bid cycle. Development environments that encourage innovation and efficiency. More modular product definitions. Rigorous bid design and assembly procedures. All geared toward bringing differentiated and compelling offerings to market.
An IBM PLM infrastructure can help capture, retain and adapt existing business processes and redirect them into streamlined, collaborative capabilities. We deliver industrial machinery solutions built on best practices that integrate engineering and business needs in one PLM environment. Increase focus on design and engineering production of electromechanical parts, components and assemblies. Optimize the entire product lifecycle.
