I’m not much of a baker, but I can follow instructions reasonably well. If I wanted to bake a Agile PLM allows companies to aggregate all the components, documentation, software, engineering drawings and Bill of Material (BOM) into one system. The BOM can be thought of as the product recipe for your finished product. It may include off-the-shelf and custom parts, software and firmware, documentation, and both mechanical and electrical CAD drawings so that every aspect of the product configuration is controlled. Within the BOM view of Agile, users gain immediate insight into whether there are attached documents, pending change orders or quality issues against any level of an assembly. Users may quickly traverse the BOM to view any of the associated records or attachments. User-defined security roles and privileges ensure adherence with corporate security policies, configuration management practices and regulatory compliance initiatives. Internal and external collaboration is enabled to allow individuals, departments and partners the appropriate level of access to product information.
With a centralized product record, it is easy to propose and submit changes to the product design, track quality issues and collaborate with your internal teams and supply-chain partners. Agile’s real-time workflow review processes increase visibility and decrease the time it takes to get your products to market.
Too many companies continue to rely on inexpensive or home-grown solutions for document management, version management and outdated change release processes. This results in slow product release cycles, inconsistent production yields and customer complaints. There is no need to “reinvent the wheel”. With a single, centralized system to manage the complete product record, companies can focus on their core competencies and get great products to market quicker than ever before. Agile PLM started out as an “out-the-box” solution that was easy to use and configure. Over the years, it has expanded to include supply-chain collaboration, quality management, governance and compliance (e.g. RoHS and Conflict Minerals) and phase-gate program management. These extended business processes leverage the centralized product record to drive high quality development processes by linking relevant information back to the product design. GoEngineer and Oracle have combined resources to provide a subscription-based Agile PLM Cloud offering to help companies avoid: • Reliance on IT infrastructure • Budgeting for large capital expenditures • Long deployment cycles If you have challenges releasing quality products on-time, look no further than GoEngineer. You already trust us to provide great product design solutions like SOLIDWORKS, EPDM, Altium, CAMWorks and Stratasys 3D Printers. So, learn why so many companies rely on Agile to make developing quality products a “piece of cake”!
