Strategy

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) can deliver improved performance throughout the entire product lifecycle and across your supply chain. It can help you to transform your business to achieve higher product margins, lower development costs, and a stronger bottom line.

Achieving these results begins with creating the right PLM strategy and vision for your business. Whether you are trying to streamline design and component management with suppliers, improve processes that span global and cross-functional teams, or manage the complexity that comes with product configuration and change, we are here to help

We can also help you resolve a wide range of common challenges that may be driving your needs for PLM. Our PLM Strategy services include:

  • Mapping business initiatives to required capabilities
  • Creating a PLM vision tailored to your unique needs
  • Defining the organizational structure and required resources

Process Consulting

To achieve positive results, first you must have clearly defined, repeatable business processes which can be optimized and automated. Second, your business processes must align with your Product Lifecycle Management processes and systems. We can help you to review and optimize your existing business processes or define new processes which will enable you to design products more efficiently, accelerate time to market, collaborate across global teams, and significantly reduce the cost of regulatory compliance.

Our team of experts can help analyze value chains, identify processes to be improved, simplify overly complex processes, provide guidance on industry best practices and help you to make continual improvements. We can also help you define Key Performance Indicators to evaluate processes, set benchmarks and measure progress.

TriStar has extensive experience helping clients create process efficiencies and adopt best practices. Following is a thought map of PLM processes common across various industries.

System Selection

Selecting the right Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution for your business can be a daunting task.

If you make the wrong selection, you may face budget overruns, implementation delays, user dissatisfaction, and possibly the need to replace the system.

Since making a wrong decision can be costly and risky for your company, it makes sense to start with a methodical approach and apply proven practices that have worked for other companies. We have a well-defined method to assist you with systems selection and implementation.
