PLM for machine builders supports end-to-end processes with integrated project management capabilities and instant-on access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/webinars.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/start-industrial-machinery-plm-journey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">View the on-demand webinar<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The available webinar discusses trends driving the industry, describing a process-based approach to PLM to discover the value it brings to a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Challenges in the supply chain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most supply chain issues can be traced to a root cause, including demand variability, extended lead times, quality levels, and a lack of visibility and collaboration across the supply chain, reducing manufacturing productivity and efficiency. Implementing PLM software into operations can assist in overcoming these obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It provides the tools and solutions to improve collaboration with suppliers and partners by connecting people with the product and process. PLM provides a comprehensive approach with added visibility and collaboration that improves productivity that helps avoid manufacturing production blockages while accelerating time to market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PLM software tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PLM for Machine Builders offers tools that provide the essential information to better understand and deliver projects on time with customer requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, PLM provides companies with a competitive advantage by providing the following benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A fully integrated solution where every stakeholder possesses what they need to get their job done<\/li><li>An adaptable plan, a comprehendible impact, and the ability to implement change quickly, effectively, and accurately<\/li><li>Dashboards, self-service reports, and timelines that ensure accurate, real-time status data<\/li><li>Acting quickly by transitioning away from paper-based change processes<\/li><li>Effortlessly share design information across teams<\/li><li>SaaS delivery \u2013 anytime, anywhere&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PLM process-based methodology&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Product lifecycle management incorporates project, process and requirements management. PLM also allows machine configuration and reuse and a blended ETO\/CTO. In return, it captures project milestones and deliverables, including integrated requirements-driven design, streamlined change management processes, Google-style search, advanced BoM cloning capabilities (independent of CAD), document management, product structure capture from CAD for downstream reuse and advanced rule-based product configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/webinars.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/start-industrial-machinery-plm-journey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Listen<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to several Siemens Digital Industries Software experts provide more information on this pertinent topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Xcelerator, the comprehensive and integrated portfolio of software and services from Siemens Digital Industries Software, helps companies of all sizes create and leverage a comprehensive digital twin that provides organizations with new insights, opportunities and levels of automation to drive innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on Siemens Digital Industries Software products and services, visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sw.siemens.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">siemens.com\/software<\/a>&nbsp;or follow us on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/siemens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Siemens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/siemensusa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/siemens\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.
