One record for every product, from design to discontinuation.
The PLM module manages a product from first design to discontinuation. Drawings, samples, approvals, costing sheets and BOM versions sit together in one place. Every engineering change is recorded with who approved it and from which batch it applies. It matters because making goods to an old drawing is a costly mistake that is easy to prevent.
Manages a product from design to discontinuation: drawings, samples, approvals, costing sheets and BOM versions in one place. Every engineering change is recorded with who approved it and from which batch it applies.

Questions, answered.
Is this the same as storing drawings in a shared folder?
No. A folder holds files. PLM links each drawing revision to its BOM, costing and approval, and tells production and purchase which revision is current.
Who can approve a change?
You define the approvers by product group or type of change. A change is released to production only after the required approvals, and the record shows who approved and when.
How does it connect to production?
The released BOM and drawing revision are what work orders and purchase pick up. When a change takes effect from a given batch, earlier batches keep their original record.
Which Kreon products include product lifecycle management (PLM)?
Garment and Apparel ERP, LED, Fans and Electricals ERP, Auto Components ERP, Engineering and Fabrication ERP, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). It can also be added to a custom system.
