Configuring Success: Unpacking the Essentials of Configuration Lifecycle Management - Part 1

How can companies attain and maintain a competitive advantage?
By ensuring their entire organization is operating from the same data. To make sure sales doesn’t sell a product that can’t be manufactured, or engineering doesn’t design a product that isn’t marketable, every function that touches a product needs to be working from the same information.

A Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) approach makes this possible by establishing a shared source of truth for enterprise-wide configuration data. 

By adopting a CLM approach employees can collaborate and innovate across functions with configuration data that is reliable, accurate and easily accessible.. 

In this webinar, Henrik Reif Andersen answers the most frequently asked questions about Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM).

Transforming Manufacturing: The Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) Approach

In recent years, B2B manufacturing has witnessed a surge in complexity, challenging companies to synchronize diverse customer demands, regulatory standards, and intricate supply chains within integrated IT frameworks. In this presentation, Dr. Jan Göpfert will elucidate the importance of mastering process and product complexity to gain a competitive edge.

Jan will showcase various customer examples to underscore how companies excelling in consistent modularization and standardization establish the bedrock for successful transformation projects. He will emphasize the critical involvement of business and IT needs, steered by top management and encompassing the entire global IT architecture.

Furthermore, Jan will highlight the significance of stable, modular product architectures as the linchpin for successful implementation across all configuration systems and sales channels. Additionally, he will discuss how adept management of product development and streamlined configuration lifecycle management can yield benefits such as optimized product variance, portfolio enhancement, and the transition from Engineer-to-Order (ETO) to Configure-to-Order (CTO) processes.

How to Master Complexity and Streamline Configuration Processes – End-to-End

In this presentation, Jochen-Thomas Morr from PwC, will explain how Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) consolidates configuration processes that are often scattered throughout the functional silos of a company to create quantifiable business results. Jochen-Thomas will provide actionable insights on how to leverage existing IT investments to accelerate product lifecycles and shorten time-to-market, as well as a blueprint on how and where to start a CLM project to gain the quickest return.
PwC views Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) as a top priority for global B2B manufacturing companies with complex products to stay competitive. With today’s economic downturn and workforce shortages, B2B manufacturers are under pressure to lower costs and increase operational efficiency across the organization.
As an efficient and scalable approach for providing reliable, up-to-date product configuration data, CLM enhances sales, engineering, manufacturing and service solutions based on a seamlessly integrated CLM-PLM-ERP backbone. But the true value of CLM is providing an enterprise-wide platform for cross-functional collaboration that breaks down IT silos to not only digitally transform the organization but also make it more agile and responsive to rapidly changing market requirements.
