Risks of a disconnected PLM and ERP system
The integration between PLM and ERP is crucial for industrial success. However, a lack of connection between these systems can lead to issues such as isolated teams, ineffective resource reuse, and the delivery of inaccurate information, leading to inefficiencies, high costs, and errors.
When teams operate in isolation, communication breaks down, leading to inefficiencies and errors across departments.
Without streamlined access to valuable resources, time and effort are wasted recreating solutions that already exist.
Inconsistent or incorrect data can delay production schedules, resulting in missed deadlines and reduced product quality.
Reliance on manual methods leads to slow, error-prone operations that hamper overall productivity.
Outdated, non-integrated systems create operational gaps, making it difficult to maintain a cohesive workflow.
