Complex products with highly unique content can create manufacturing inefficiencies. For example, without easy access to information on existing tooling and fixtures, engineers waste time by duplicating these assets. It is especially difficult to optimize inventory and manage costs. PLM provides sophisticated search capabilities that promote product and process re-use. Information can be managed in specific contexts that reflect the ways in which different groups use that information to do their jobs. The ability to search for information within a given context enables users to quickly locate existing parts, processes or tests based on functional specifications, geometric attributes, shape and other criteria.

By implementing a common PLM environment on an enterprise basis, companies gain visibility into product and process information across disciplines and across work sites, making it possible to better support modularization and re-use. PLM solutions aggregate process and product data and make it universally available in uniform formats to users within the company and across the value chain. Key features supporting modularization and re-use:
