[ Presentation Bullet Points 1. PDM is the foundation of your PLM project 2. To take full advantage of PLM you need accurate product data and content 3. Data matures and over time and needs to be maintained 4. Make Engineering part of your PLM project 2
[ Why you need Product Data Management (PDM) It s The Foundation for PLM Think of PDM as the foundation for your PLM project To take full advantage of PLM you need accurate content and data Data matures and over time and needs to be tracked
[ PDM makes the difference between This or This You need timely, accurate data to make the best down stream decisions Any report is only as good as the data from which it comes Accurate content is needed downstream to properly build what you have designed
[ Too many systems involved... A lack of integrated processes Source: AMR Research

[ Best Practices All data about a product should be stored maintained in ECC. All released documents supporting product content should be stored in SAP DMS SAP ECC should be the master system for all released data. Viewable files (pdf,.rh etc) supporting Manufacturing should be stored in SAP DMS CAD data should be stored in SAP DMS when using SAP direct CAD integrations. 42
[ Benefits of our SAP PLM Approach Self contained, integrated solution from engineering, thru manufacturing and support Reduces TCO - cost of middleware, licenses, customizations & maintenance Simplified interface from engineering to reduce risk Easy to use and even intuitive..yes I said it Leverage of engineering CAD models, assemblies and drawings Single end to end product change object and process. Eliminates multiple synchronizations and ownership swaps Powerful and easy to use workflow solution Simplified PSM structures for variant configuration support Product configuration leverages PSM structures for master BOM concept Leverages latest SAP Visual Enterprise solution which is now foundation for all ECC Ability to add real time compliance checks into the PLM solution Solid foundation to build upon in the future
[ Key Points PDM as the foundation of any PLM project To take full advantage of PLM you need accurate product content and data Involve Engineering early in your PLM projects All product data should be stored maintained in ECC. All released documents supporting product content should be stored in SAP DMS SAP ECC should be the master system for all released data. Viewable files (pdf,.rh etc) supporting Manufacturing should be stored in SAP DMS 44
