Previous posts were discussed on PLM, start of PLM implementation till Roll Out of project. While executing the project most of the PLM vendors will face many challenges, I just want to record the challenges what we faced in two implementation for typical domains, one in Thermal Power Energy & Plant Design Organization and another one Mid-sized Mechanical Design and development for Defense products and automotive supplier Organization.
Ø Lack of preparations and sudden call to start the PLM Implementation.
Ø New domain and cumbersome Plant Design process of execution
Ø Very tight project schedule to complete implementation as per the PO size.
Ø No prior case studies and expertise guidance in the combination of chosen PLM tool and Plant Design domain.
Ø Social responsibilities and other organizational regularities.
Ø Pressure to meet over promises and commitments in presales phase.
Ø Management Mind set about old PDM system and new PDM system.
Ø Very beginning of project and no clear visionary path and objectives to drive and setting project best methodology.
Ø Prestige and Egoism issues between many people, lack of openness, blame games etc.
Above challengers are common in the PLM implementation and we handle effectively the above stoppers, then confidently PLM implementation will be succeeded.
Bye for now,
