Giving manufacturing engineers and shop floor team leaders access to the single source of product data that is maintained in a PLM database can help ensure that the correct design revision is used as the basis for process planning and the actual manufacturing operations. Implementing PLM through to manufacturing also facilitates the reuse of existing, proven manufacturing processes and can avoid reinventing the wheel in this area. Full PLM functionality can be a little daunting for these roles so we deliver a "shop floor viewer" client that delivers a simplified interface for these key roles. Thanks for posting my previous comment on the Technicom review of your software. Your blog already has interesting content and if your readers can see opinions from other PLM vendors that will add to the value of your blog. It would be interesting to see some comments from users on how they envisage, or how they have implemented PLM to support their manufacturing teams, and what benefits they are obtaining.
