PLM systems enable re-use of development data
and evidence to facilitate control of complexity
and maintain integrity. PLM systems for medical
device manufacturers automate compliance,
submissions and reporting.
Product complexity can be managed through re-use, context capture and collaboration, which can help identify issues earlier and result in faster time to market and significantly reduced quality risks. These improvements can be achieved if mechanical, electronic and software engineers work together; however, many existing systems make it difficult for them to find the right information quickly, keep global design data synchronized and share the design information with manufacturing.
