Integrated Product Lifecycle Management
Product lifecycle management (PLM) is a business approach for managing the flow from the design and engineering of the product through manufacturing, delivery, after-sales service, and feedback reporting. It spans the entire product lifecycle, integrating people, processes, business systems, and information. With IFS Applications, this product information is managed and updated automatically for each product phase. For example, the manufacturing bill of material (BOM) is created automatically based on the engineering BOM.
Collaborate with your business partners
IFS Applications supports total product configuration management—that is, knowing what is delivered to whom and when—as well as collaboration throughout the enterprise, enabling you to reuse and share information and do everything right from the beginning. IFS provides cost reduction opportunities, integrated change management with fast impact analyses, and total project control. It also provides solutions for collaborative design, which use web technology to transcend organizational boundaries. The end result is enhanced product and service quality, and enhanced customer loyalty.
