A Pragmatic Approach to Assessing and Selecting Next-Generation Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Software for Discreet Manufacturers

Posted on October 11, 2023 by Richard Hinojos

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software plays a crucial role in discreet manufacturing companies, enabling efficient product development, collaboration, and data management. However, with the constant evolution of technology, discreet manufacturers often face the challenge of selecting the right next-generation PLM software solution. Adopting a pragmatic approach to assessment and selection can ensure a successful implementation. Let’s explore some key considerations for discreet manufacturers in this process.

  1. Define Your Objectives: Start by clearly defining your objectives and identifying the specific pain points or challenges you want to address with the next-generation PLM software. Whether it’s streamlining collaboration, improving data management, or enhancing product development processes, having a clear understanding of your goals will help you evaluate potential solutions more effectively.
  2. Conduct a Thorough Needs Assessment: Perform a comprehensive needs assessment to identify the specific functionalities and features required in a next-generation PLM solution. Consider factors such as data integration capabilities, collaboration tools, workflow management, document control, and analytics. Engage key stakeholders from different departments to ensure their needs and requirements are considered.
  3. Evaluate Vendor Capabilities: Once you have a clear understanding of your requirements, evaluate the capabilities of potential PLM software vendors. Look for vendors with a proven track record in discreet manufacturing, as they will have a better understanding of your industry-specific needs. Assess their expertise, technological capabilities, customer support, and implementation services. Request demos and case studies to get a better sense of how their solutions align with your requirements.
  4. Consider Scalability and Integration: Next-generation PLM software should be scalable and adaptable to accommodate your company’s growth and evolving needs. Assess the solution’s scalability and integration capabilities with other systems, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Seamless integration between PLM and other systems ensures efficient data exchange and enhances cross-functional collaboration.
  5. Evaluate User Experience and Adoption: User experience is a crucial factor in the successful adoption of any software solution. Evaluate the user interface, ease of navigation, and overall user experience of potential PLM solutions. Consider the training and support provided by vendors to ensure a smooth transition and high user adoption rates. User feedback and references from existing customers can provide valuable insights into the usability and effectiveness of the solution.
  6. Assess Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Consider the total cost of ownership over the solution’s lifecycle, including licensing fees, implementation costs, maintenance, and support. Evaluate the ROI potential and the long-term value the solution can bring to your organization. Consider not only the initial investment but also the ongoing costs and potential savings or revenue generation opportunities.

By adopting a pragmatic approach to the assessment and selection of next-generation PLM software, discreet manufacturers can make informed decisions that align with their specific needs and objectives. Careful evaluation of vendor capabilities, user experience, scalability, integration, and total cost of ownership ensures the implementation of a robust PLM solution that drives efficiency, collaboration, and innovation within the organization.

Agile 9.3.6 RUP 9 – SAML 2.0 Support

Posted on June 4, 2019 by Chris Pearson

There are perhaps hundreds of Agile PLM customers that are quite content with the state of their Agile systems.  It’s a tried and true product that has reached a level of maturity that doesn’t warrant significant feature enhancements.  Many of those customers are getting by with early versions of Agile 9.3.6, 9.3.5 and often even older versions.  While IT managers may call for upgrades to replace aging infrastructure, business managers and users are often left asking, “What’s in it for me?”  For several major and minor releases now, there have not been compelling reasons to upgrade in the eyes of many customers.  Platform support doesn’t mean much to an end user, and with many feature enhancements coming to modules that users may not use, upgrades haven’t been justifiable.  And lastly, while there have been lengthy bug fix lists with every release, customers often look right past those if they haven’t experienced the problems that were fixed.

Despite the general reluctance to upgrade, Oracle recently provided a reason that may compel more customers to consider upgrade.  Agile 9.3.6 Release Update Pack (RUP) 9 was released in April 2019 and includes a feature that may not have gotten much attention, but it should.  RUP 9 introduced support for SAML 2.0 Authentication.

SAML is an abbreviation for Security Assertion Markup Language and without getting too technical, it’s an XML-based framework for passing authentication credentials.  With the explosion of cloud services, it’s become the standard for authenticating users for SaaS applications.  And with so many companies moving parts of their business to cloud applications, SAML is almost an imperative, allowing the customer to manage application access while the SaaS provider can do what they do best without worrying about managing user account databases.  When a user attempts to access a cloud application, their request is forwarded to an Identity Provider (IdP) to confirm their identity and level of access; and only if everything checks out are they granted access to the application.

Agile PLM, while typically an on-premise application, can benefit from the popularity of SAML for identity management and authentication.  With a minimum amount of effort, Agile can be configured to authenticate via the same Identity Provider that a company is already using for all their cloud services.  And for those customers that have struggled with Single Sign On (SSO) configuration in the past using web servers like IIS, they should be happy to know that additional front-end web servers are not needed to enable SAML 2.0 support in Agile. 

With SAML support enabled in Agile 9.3.6 RUP 9, Agile customers can control access to Agile via their corporate directory service, eliminate Agile-only user accounts and password management headaches, and let users use the same account credentials they use for other enterprise on-premise and cloud based applications.  And for those customers that have intranet launch pages, users will welcome the ease of single sign, an often-requested feature that many customers elected not to implement because of the additional infrastructure required.

PointPLM has implemented SAML 2.0 authentication in Oracle Agile PLM 9.3.6 RUP 9 and would be happy to discuss your use case.  For any customer that has not already upgraded to RUP 9 we can help make that happen and even if you are already there, we’d be happy to talk to you about enabling SAML support for your Agile PLM environment.

Oracle Cloud SCM – PDH vs PD

Posted on May 10, 2019 by Allen Marshall

Product development (PD) and Product Information Management (PIM) are important parts of the Product Management feature set of Oracle SCM Cloud Application. In order to understand the uses/functions and even the differences between Product Development and Product Information Management (aka Product data hub) one must gain some insight into the Ideation to Commercialization process. During this process a user starts off with an idea, which is posted and processed through innovation management. The steps are Post Idea, Create Proposal, Create Requirements Specification, Create Concept Structure.

Image showing idea process:

Once the idea has completed all the steps within Innovation Management (IM) the Ideation to Commercialization process requires the user to move on to PD. PD’s main use is during the design phase. This module is utilized by engineers to define design specific meta data (ex. length, width, height, weight and UOM). Also defines item structure (Engineering Bill Of Materials), add manufacturer parts, and create change orders to manage design revisions and effectivity.

Upon completion of the design process, Commercialization in SCM Cloud would have users utilize PIM. This is where organizational/plant specific attributes are added to the item. These attributes include specifications for how the item is planned, procured, received, stored in inventory, manufactured, sold, and serviced by organizational/factory location. Additionally PIM is where item catalogs, packs, suppliers and GTINs are applied and maintained against said manufacturing organizations and plants. Within PIM, multiple Manufacturing Bill Of Materials (mBOM) structures can be configured and applied per organization/plant. Simply put, a one to many ratio can exist in PIM, for example a single item design can be used in multiple factory locations with different configured structures and details per location.

In short PD is well suited for the design process and PDH for configured item manufacturing execution.
