Mfg Quantity of legacy data to be cleaned & moved Number of other systems to be integrated (CAD, ERP, business planning, etc.) Level of tailoring needed Training Copyright 2011 by CIMdata, Inc. 12
PLM Benefits Metrics quantify the benefits in the ROI Costs Benefits Copyright 2011 by CIMdata, Inc. 13
Metrics Help You Understand Some of the reasons why metrics are important When, where, and how people are using PLM The effect of PLM on the business & its processes How well the business objectives for a project have been satisfied If sponsors are receiving a return on investments Areas that t need improvement Requirements for future implementations of technologies & processes The ongoing success of your business solutions Copyright 2011 by CIMdata, Inc. 14
Nature of Metrics Metrics should meet a number of criteria They should measure direct cost, time, count savings Theyshould bemeasured both before and after theproject is implemented (to set baseline) Theyshould bereported automatically (vs. manually) Facilitate the process Assure timely reporting They should be evaluated to ensure they don't create an unwanted behavior Can they be manipulated to show inappropriate results or hide problems Do they violate how people are motivated Copyright 2011 by CIMdata, Inc. 15
Guiding Your PLM Program Indicators of program progress provide direction PLM project metrics track the PLM program s progress PLM business metrics help you understand how well the PLM program is supporting the enterprise s business objectives, e.g., Cost Quality Time to market market Both indicate how to adjust the PLM program s scope & timing to maximize your return on investment Copyright 2011 by CIMdata, Inc. 16
Example Benefits Example ranges of benefits based on actual experiences Time to manufacturing 10% to 50% reduction Engineering gchange process 10% to 70% reduction Design review process 50% to 80% reduction Increased productivity 10% to 20% increase Product development costs 25% to 40% reduction New part numbers 5% to 15% reduction Time to find information 75% to 90% reduction Design errors 10% to 25% reduction Time to design 15% to 70% reduction Travel cost for design 20% to 35% reduction Copyright 2011 by CIMdata, Inc. 17
Benefits for Business Performance Win against the competition Enables innovation, predictability, company flexibility, and better management Respond more swiftly to new challenges, new markets, etc. Good management depends on rapid access to full and up to date information Companies first to harness PLM will raise barriers of entry for their competitors Enable communications with partner companies Support global manufacture, assembly, or service Support global product execution Companies who continue to ignore PLM will learn all about it from their biggest competitors Copyright 2011 by CIMdata, Inc. 18
Benefits for Business Performance Quality Initiatives PLM enables Quality Assurance Uphold a reputation for excellence and reliability through product lifecycle Quality impacts legal, contractual, liability, cost savings, competitive, human resource, and environmental issues Supporttotal total quality management initiatives & otherinitiatives ISO 9000 Objectives: To supply quality products that don t come back, to customers who do.

Benefits for Business Process Streamline design reviews and approvals Provide a formal mechanism to evaluate product developments at major milestones Allow many users to see product data and make comments on that data Review the design rather than merely its documentation Allow users to see product definition information Supports review teams having a collective competency greater than that of the designers Eg E.g., include representatives of marketing, purchasing, manufacturing, servicing, test, inspection, reliability, quality assurance Copyright 2011 by CIMdata, Inc. 28
Benefits for Business Process Improve change processing (1 of 2) Make changes earlier in the process Improved access to design information Work with more up to date information Support concurrent processes Reduce cost of managing and tracking changes Establish & maintain procedures for the identification, documentation, review & approval of all changes across whole product life cycle Engineering Change Request Engineering Change Order Engineering Change Record Copyright 2011 by CIMdata, Inc. 29
Benefits for Business Process Improve change processing (2 of 2) Major process for control of a product Implement using workflow Tracks the impact of a change Cost and time Part and document relationships Where used investigations Ripple effect: one change can require another 3D PART NC PLM captures the approval or rejection of a change for audit and history PLM enables electronic comment/markup PLM enables rapid communication of changes Copyright 2011 by CIMdata, Inc. 30
Benefits for Business Process Increase efficiency by streamlining processes Improve the purchasing cycle Effective purchasing depends on managing data and processes as well as good cross functional communications Speed work orders Work orders, with all relevant reference documentation and data in a folder, distributed electronically Unify multiple BOMs E.g., engineering, manufacturing, purchasing Allow use of multiple part numbering (customer, supplier, internal) Copyright 2011 by CIMdata, Inc. 31
Benefits for Business Process Increase efficiency by streamlining processes Improve cross functional integration and collaboration The purchasing cycle profit from larger discounts, fewer suppliers, reduced inventory, fewer errors resulting in scrap Change management cycle Speed response in emergencies Predefine processes to access a complete data set Encourage & enable continuous improvement of processes Enable business transformation Support process change & integration with lower risk Copyright 2011 by CIMdata, Inc. 32
Examples of Metrics Applicability & importance vary by company & PLM project Business Metrics Time to access data Plant down time for maintenance Cost of changes No. of standard parts/no. of special parts No. of successful bids/month Tooling costs or assembly costs Scrap, inventory rates, or re work rates Warranty costs, returns, or MTBF PLM Project Metrics Software delivered against plan Tasks completed on time Cost of IT resources Number of processes (workflows) implemented Quantity of legacy data migrated Number of licenses delivered Number of users implemented Number of users trained Number of PLM solution errors reported Copyright 2011 by CIMdata, Inc. 33
Benefits of Open Source Minimize cost of PLM licenses Lower capital expense for PLM shortens payback period & lowers up front risks Be clear that just because you don t have to buy PLM licenses, youdon t haveto buytheinfrastructure (database, operating environment, visualization tools, other product design software, etc.) Reduce software maintenance & tailoring costs Reduce Total Cost of Ownership Decrease initial start up costs & ongoing costs Result is improved ROI, achieved more quickly with better Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Copyright 2011 by CIMdata, Inc. 34
