3. How do you structure your data?

Integrating a PLM system requires you to review and overhaul your internal processes and methods. Information exchanges between departments will take place within the system. As a result, data will have to be validated before it can be processed by other departments, such as the 2D drawings you provide to your Purchasing department for supplier consultation.

By formalizing the development stages of your products, you bring rigor to your organization and standardize your working methods throughout the company.
