Product lifecycle management (PLM) can no longer be a linear step-by-step process. Product individualization, accelerated design cycles, and the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) networks require a PLM solution that is “live.” It must be continuously sensing and responding in real time across all activities – from design to manufacturing to service and inclusive of business functions such as sales and financials – all interconnected and synchronized.

As design cycles shrink across industries, product lifecycle management will need to adapt. The traditional linear process, which begins with engineering and proceeds in a stepwise fashion through manufacturing and service, is no longer adequate. To keep pace with the speed of change, manufacturers will need to establish ongoing feedback loops that simultaneously involve every “step” in the process and eliminate traditional silos of information and manual processes.

To compete in the digital economy, manufacturers will need to achieve a truly product-centric enterprise in which digital twins guide not only engineering and maintenance but also every business-critical function, from procurement to HR. Even as product lifecycles are compressing, customers are demanding product individualization, and thus companies must manage exponentially growing streams of data.

To achieve live product innovation, product information must be released from its traditional silo in engineering systems and leveraged throughout the entire product lifecycle. The power of in-memory computing and the “digital twin” is used to extend PLM information into manufacturing, logis-tics, and service while at the same time providing feedback channels to R&D from those same downstream processes and the market itself.

Companies today need timely insights and the ability to respond quickly to individual product needs and “smart” sensors. The new information refin-ery needs to capture information from everywhere and turn it into some-thing that has meaning for the end user. Ideally, this new data refinery would be connected to your business processes, so that you could sense, respond, and act to achieve your business goals.

The principles of live product innovation are equally relevant to process manufacturing. If your products are food, packaged goods, or chemicals, the promises of live product insights are still compelling. It’s only the data sources and dimensions that are different. The advantage of live, compli-ant product innovation is that it enables analytics on previously discon-nected data, and it allows real-time management of embedded processes across systems.

Product data, configurations, bills of materials (BOMs), and variants are integral to designing, selling, and making personalized products. What’s new is the expected speed of delivery, driving radically compressed cycle times. To meet these timeline expectations, a distributed design function with concurrent, parallel lifecycles and lifetimes is required.

Take Innovating to the Next LevelSAP Community BlogChange is everywhere, and the speed of change is increasing every year. Trends such as the sharing economy and digitalization are pushing compa-nies to rethink the way they innovate to avoid creating products and services that would not be adopted. This new “innovation-making process” needs to leverage and possibly combine types of innovation: product, service, business model, process, and technology.
