Product Development With Sap Plm

Canuto, a business development manager and practice lead for a consulting firm, and SAP PLM consultants Daum and Rödel explain product development in discrete manufacturing with SAP PLM (product lifecycle management), following the product development process. They discuss the principles of product development and the role of product data; the key processes in product development, including portfolio and project management, requirements management, variant configuration, product structure management, the integration of authoring systems, product validation, and handover to manufacturing, with information on the steps of the process and methods and procedures used by discrete manufacturing companies, solutions that SAP offers to support the process, and how to set them up to meet specific requirements. They then detail support processes that help implement planned measures, including process management and change, release, and configuration management; basic functions relevant for the implementation of product development, including product visualization and collaboration; and other aspects of SAP product lifecycle management, such as SAP service offerings and SAP PLM architecture and SAP S/4HANA outlook.
