What do you like best about SAP PLM?

Complete Product data Integration to ERP Processes

Single Source of Truth for Product Data

Integration to Design tools with Engineering Control Centre. I am happy to drastically reduce NPDI and ECM Cycle by providing solution of Pro/Engineer Integration with SAP using Reiss Interface -completly eliminating the WIndchill PDMLink solution with SAP PLM solutions addressing all business processes in SAP CDESK Solution.

PLM 7.02/03 which provides 360 deg visibility of products

PLM WebUI providing a work center or control center style role centric , transaction free views which are only required for a particular role simplyfying the work and eliminating the complete access to SAP which may not be required and reduce errors. Features like Object Navigator, BCV, BOM Redlining, ACM, Engineering Record are excellent which will help drastically reduce the NPDI and ECM process

Visual Enterprice which provides excellent visual soiutions of all 3D parts, assemblies inside SAP

Visual Enterprice Auther which gives realistic feel of an assembly process helpful for assembling a compicated part by a maintenance personall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP PLM?

Unavailability of Pro/Engineer still in Engineering Control Center. I am not sure if Solid Works integration to ECTR is available or no. I wish ECTR should have all CAD interfaces developed soon and let the consultants like me know about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SAP PLM:

Avoid islands of informations available in different softwares, tools, servers, desktops etc etc. which will mess up sooner or later. Use Single tool for all your business process and achive single source of truth thus reducing greatly NPDI cycle which can drastically reduce the major amount of the product design cycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAP PLM solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a SAP PLM Analyst having experience surrounding the Product Data and its integration with the ERP. I have implemented multiple SAP PLM solutions in the areas of SAP CAD Integration, SAP DMS, SAP ECM, Engineering Control Centre, ILC’s 4PEP Change Management Process etc. addressing the Business Challenges/ Pain Areas related to the Product Data Management, CAD Drawings and Parts Management, Engineering Change Management, Association of Single source of truth in Drawings-Materials-BOM links and Document Management in an organization.

The Major Benefit which I have realized using SAP PLM is the Complete Integration of Product Data within the ERP which directly results in reduction of NPDI and ECM Business cycle which consume more time and money in the entire life of a product, Reduce the Product Lunch Time and become more agile than your competitors and able to react and take advantage of market and competitive opportunities across your business networks. The complete structure in CAD assembly can be directly brought to SAP BOM in a single click thereby managing the Single Source of truth. I particularly liked the BCV (Business Context Viewer) feature whose goal is to have reporting information available that reacts to the current business context.

What do you like best about SAP PLM?

During my internship project, I have used SAP PLM for 3 months through the internship project to streamline the entire product life cycle management where I realized that it is perfect for any application for fulfilling all business needs. It does the job. While deploying my prototype, It has provided the 360-degree-support for all product-related processes - from the first product idea, through manufacturing to product service. I have later also implemented it in SAP S/4 Hana for much better efficiency and to reinvent business models and to drive new revenues and profits. I believe that this tool can fit all types and sizes of manufacturing business. During my research phase, I have also drawn the comparison from SAP PLM tool to other PLM tool in the market. I have never seen such endless possibilities given in any other PLM tool. It gives me a lot of historical data where I could make my Purchase Requisition, Materials and Bill of Material. It supports flexible and new product development processes and streamline the management of project proposals, progress, tasks, timelines. It has really given the concrete way of cost-centered view of the product design and development lifecycle. This makes processes related to the product consistent, efficient, and simpler Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP PLM?

Sometimes I felt that it is bit difficult to learn and use in the practical way. There are no documentation, training and modules available through the internet for practical implementation of the tool. There are number of different options available which seems to be irrelevant for the beginners. There are no copy paste to ease the work and process. There are lot of customizations that is required for each organization to accommodate their own processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAP PLM solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was trying to streamline the end to end lifecycle of Beer Product life Cycle management starting from the first ideation, through manufacturing to product service phase. The best thing I liked about was that it makes processes related to the product consistent, efficient, and simpler and provides lower-cost calculation to manage product development, support, and recycling projects effectively.

What do you dislike about SAP PLM?

Not much, need trained person to work on it as everybody can't access the PLM without prior knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAP PLM solving and how is that benefiting you?

after introducing SAP PLM mainely proper documentation will be done.

we can arrange the data in systematic mannner and can viewed any time.

In overall PLM avoid manual documentation without much confusion it can viewed in PLM.

There might chances loosing data in manual documentation after long time but where as in plm you can view products information from long in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
