Managing product changes within a centralized cloud system accelerates product design improvements and speeds reviews by your internal teams and supply chain partners. Streamlined engineering change reviews result in faster approval cycles and NPD efficiencies.
“Vizimax reduced NPI cycle time by 80% with Arena PLM.”
– Jean Villers, VP of Manufacturing
Cloud PLM and QMS solutions help optimize the way you document product records (e.g., items, BOMs, documents), review manufacturing processes, and communicate engineering changes to your supply chain.
Productivity gains as a result of improved processes can be realized with better resource allocation, reductions in errors that cause scrap and rework, and time savings associated with central access to information.
Quality issues can arise throughout the product lifecycle. Accelerating product development, quality, and CAPA processes, and the resolution of quality or design issues with product-centric cloud QMS, ensures fast delivery of safe and compliant products.
For medical device companies, FDA or quality system noncompliance issues can determine the success or failure of a product launch and, sometimes, the company itself. Centralizing the creation, review, and approval of product and quality information reduces audit risks, ensures regulatory compliance, and drives continuous improvement.
Cloud PLM and QMS solutions do more than enable internal teams to work more efficiently. They significantly accelerate change, NPD, and NPI cycles. Connecting internal teams and external partners in a single system of truth eliminates silos and confusion around the latest information. Many companies today rely on multitiered supply chains across dispersed geographic areas.
Leveraging a cloud solution removes barriers to entry and usability for supply chain partners because it’s easy to access via a web browser—anytime and anywhere around the world.
