Product Life Cycle Management From Concept to Production

Product Life Cycle Management From Concept to Production Companies are adopting PLM systems to efficiently manage the product development cycle from concept to production. Time and Action Calendars, Style Spec Packs, Costing, Samples, Approvals, are all developed in this system, and shared in real time with suppliers and key parties in the process. Learn how PLM can make the difference in managing your information, communication and time from the founders of Chameleon PLM - Chris and Souheil Karam.
