Overview

PLM, or product lifecycle management, is an essential element in effectively creating and utilizing Global Innovation Networks, as it empowers businesses to make unified, information-driven decisions at every stage (plan, define, build and support) in the product lifecycle.

Plan

Early stages of product lifecycle influence up to 80 percent of your product costs. Our planning solutions provide the ability to rapidly configure and design new products that maximize reuse in order to reduce cost.

Develop

Siemens PLM Software provides companies the ability to design and deliver innovative products to market faster than their competitors, test and validate product designs cost-effectively, respond quickly to engineering design changes, develop partnerships with teammates in different organizations, using different systems and processes.

Execute

The execution phase of the product lifecycle is more complex, less structured and less automated than other phases. Technology solutions in this phase are typically "silos," encompassing such disciplines as quality validation, process improvement, plant design, resource management and manufacturing simulation.

Support

The release of a product may be the end of the development cycle, but it's only the beginning in terms of the customer's user experience. For the people who develop, deliver and support those products, it's essential to consider the user experience in every phase of the product lifecycle.

Siemens PLM Software's Teamcenter, NX, Solid Edge, Tecnomatix, PLM Components and Velocity Series™ product suites offer capabilities that span the lifecycle and support key lifecycle processes.
