10 Reasons Manufacturers Need ERP-Based PLM in Microsoft Dynamics 365
Most manufacturers run CAD, PLM, and ERP as separate systems. Each has its own data, its own interface, and its own version of the truth. The result is manual re-keying, slow engineering changes, and late surprises on the shop floor.
This whitepaper explains why the fix is PLM embedded directly in Microsoft Dynamics 365, with no external PLM server or database to maintain.
What you will learn
- Why manufacturers spend about a third of their time on non-value-adding work such as searching for data and re-entering engineering changes
- How a single source of product truth prevents errors between Engineering, Purchasing, and Manufacturing
- How to see the cost and logistics impact of an engineering change order before you release it
- How to reuse approved parts instead of designing them again
- How to manage RoHS and REACH compliance data in the same system as your BOMs
- How a simpler IT setup lowers total cost of ownership
Who should read it
Engineering, operations, and IT leaders at discrete and engineer-to-order manufacturers using Dynamics 365 Business Central or Finance & Operations. It is also useful if you are comparing PLM options for the first time.
