Globalization and product complexity increase supply chain complexity. Globally dispersed product design teams increasingly include suppliers. As suppliers assume responsibility for greater portions of heavy equipment products, solutions that foster tight, seamless supplier integration are key to meeting challenges such as increased product complexity and compressed product cycles.
Suppliers must interact with all aspects of your business, including purchasing, engineering, compliance, quality, and manufacturing, to increase productivity and reduce the risk of recalls and non-compliance. Our Supply Chain Collaboration solution for the Heavy Equipment Industry provides an easy-to-use, secure platform for interacting with suppliers, even those outside of your PLM environment. By storing and providing product data in a centralized database a holistic view of product structure which includes supplier data is available. PLM allows for supplier data to be easily captured then viewed and managed in the context of product structure and helps keeps projects compliant and reduces cost.
With a comprehensive approach to managing supplier interactions, you can coordinate processes and manage supplier information whether they are inside or outside of your PLM environment. You can drive early supplier involvement in product development and provide visibility into accurate supplier information across departments.
