As the sophistication of manufactured, software-intensive products continually advances, the associated engineering and operational complexity and risk grow right alongside the business opportunities. This mounting complexity spans the full lifecycle û from portfolio planning to engineering, manufacturing, sales, and service.
As the sophistication of manufactured, software-intensive products continually advances, the associated engineering and operational complexity and risk grow right alongside the business opportunities. This mounting complexity spans the full lifecycle – from portfolio planning to engineering, manufacturing, sales, and service.
The webinar will address the need for a unified approach across three key disciplines: product line engineering (PLE) for managing product variation; application lifecycle management (ALM) for managing software-intensive systems; and product lifecycle management (PLM) for managing mechanically intensive systems and operations.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- How forward-thinking organizations are achieving competitive advantage through innovative PLE approaches that fundamentally change the way product lines are engineered.
- Insights regarding how embedded software, combined with the ability to tailor products through PLE approaches, enables organizations to differentiate products, streamline development efforts and boost profitability.
- How to leverage the combined strengths of PLE, ALM and PLM to achieve whole factor improvements in efficiency, cost reduction, time-to-market, product line scalability and quality.
- Strategies for reducing variant management complexity by establishing a “single source of feature truth” for all software, electronic, mechanical and operations artifacts across the engineering V.
- How a unified feature-based PLE approach facilitates better interoperability across software, electrical and mechanical teams, and improves cross-functional alignment between engineering and business operations.
