Description

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 solution 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 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 validations, specifically in the medical device industry. The General Principles of Software Validation; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA staff; Section 4.1 states that “A documented software requirements specification provides a baseline for both validation and verification. The software validation process cannot be completed without an established software requirements specification (Ref: 21 CFR 820.3(z) and (aa) and 820.30(f) and (g))”.

Our newest electronic PLM Requirements Specification includes over 1,200 standard requirements in 27 major functional areas and 75 sub-categories, which according to our experience typically cover over 90% of the PLM needs of most companies. The remaining 10% can be defined based your unique business needs and easily added to the specification.
