PLM Requirements Specification
Defining a PLM specification with detailed, business relevant, selective and measurable requirements is critical to ensure the selection of the best PLM solution for your business needs.
Our electronic PLM requirements specification is a key element in enabling you to define a PLM specification that is tailored exactly to your company’s needs. Depending on the situation, you can leverage this tool in a variety of ways:
- The definition of detailed, customized PLM requirements specification as part of a request for information (RFI) or request for proposal (RFP)
- The electronic pre-selection of appropriate PLM solutions
- As a questionnaire for PLM software vendors
- For PLM gap analyses
- For PLM software validation, specifically in the medical device industry (General Principles of Software Validation; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA staff; Section 4.1 Requirements; Page 11)
Our electronic PLM Requirements Specification includes over 750 standard requirements in 16 major functional areas and 62 sub-categories, which according to our experience typically cover over 80% of the PLM needs of most companies. The remaining 20% can be defined based your unique business needs and added to the specification.
The predefined PLM requirements are specifically well suited for companies in the following industries:
- Automotive
- Aerospace & Defense
- Consumer & Consumer Packaged Goods
- High-Tech & Electronics
- Industrial Machinery & Plant Equipment
- Medical Device & Life Sciences
This combination of leveraging industry best practice and company specific requirements distinguishes our PLM Requirements Specification and the results you can achieve significantly from working with and using other, more generic PLM RFP templates that are available for download on the web.
With our electronic PLM Requirements Specification you can:
- Quickly and methodically assess the suitability of specific PLM systems for your company’s needs
- Conveniently compare different systems
- Easily determine gaps between the required and the offered functionality
- Effortlessly create powerful and easy-to-understand management reports that include evaluation facts and results in every desired detail
