Making the value of technology clear
Did you know that engineers spend, on average, about a day a week on non-value-added data management tasks? That’s a lot of time spent on design data management that could be spent on driving product innovation and performance. That NVA time has a big business impact as well, including missed design deadlines that can delay…
Our research shows that engineers spend a significant percentage of their time, almost a day a week, on non-value-added data management activities such as finding information, working with the wrong data, recreating data, translating formats, and other common time wasting tasks. These time wasters cause them to miss deadlines, develop products with higher costs, miss…
Julie Fraser and I are enthusiastic about the potential for manufacturers to get more from their data following a briefing with enterprise search company Sinequa. Sinequa is tailoring their search applications to directly support manufacturers who want more holistic, integrated intelligence about their products and their business. Being able to find and connect data across…
PDM/PLM Satisfaction Survey – Status Quo is Satisfactory but Needs are Changing shares the results of a survey of over 500 PLM users exploring their satisfaction with their Product Data Management (PDM) and/or Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems. The report conveys the perspectives of a large number of PLM users ranging in seniority, position, and industry. The study…
A quick peek into some research on Improving Engineering Decision-making with PLM from a recent Tech-Clarity report. The report discusses how manufacturers can improve products (and profits) by enabling engineers and product developers to make better decisions. Is this a new way to define PLM? Perhaps this gets to the fundamental problem PLM solves? At…
