Do you wonder if your CAD and PLM systems have to be from one vendor?
Mercury Marine, a leading producer of marine propulsion units, asked the same question. They had different processes at their global locations with very disparate information, including Pro/Engineer CAD data, and wanted to go to a single PLM system.
Mercury Marine’s product development enterprise-wide change process was in nine different systems. With between 400-600 changes to their vast product line each year, they estimated the cost of a change that took 56 days to be between $20-25,000 to execute.
Today, Mercury Marine has one integrated enterprise-wide system. Mercury Marine has reduced the cycle time of change from 56 days to 22 days for significant cost savings.
