To thrive in the current manufacturing environment characterized by shorter product lifecycles, increased quality and reliability demands, and stringent product safety norms efficient management of product data, stringent version control, and proficient engineering change management are vital. Through engineering change management, structure and discipline have been integrated into the product data management process, now allowing products to be suitably defined, released and modified within a regulated, workflow-centric setting. Engineering alterations can be consistently tracked, assessed and applied during the complete lifecycle of a product, aided by product versioning and engineering change management. Engineering Change Management serves as a valuable instrument, enabling corporations to strategize and handle their product versions, lifecycles, and engineering alterations.

3. Track various product attributes effortlessly, which helps in identifying existing products that meet your specifications. A simple settings change is all that's needed to integrate these attributes with Product Lifecycle Management.

4. Enhances the complete product data structure using relevant product readiness strategies. It provides a system to verify the completion of data fields, authenticate pricing details, and reconfirm sizing specifications. The readiness control strategy also enables the assignment of tasks to individuals or groups for specific field entries. When a new or updated product is adopted into the company, ECM checklists ensure the accuracy of all crucial information.

5. Provides valuable insights to support significant business decisions. It's possible to regulate product status for each business to allow or restrict functionalities like sales order creation, purchase order creation, inventory control, transportation and more. Having a clear visibility of product status and version numbers across the supply chain facilitates enhanced management capabilities.
