Dassault Systèmes

Improved quality, higher return, and shorter time-to-market for new programs is an increasing executive mandate for many of today's manufacturers. At the same time, continued market pressures have dictated that companies must continue to improve efficiency, drive out cost and increase time-to-volume.

Ensuring this level of product manufacturability and profitability is, however, extremely difficult in a mainstream environment of expensive physical prototypes and delicate machinery. A production line itself can be a constant source of hold-ups, quality errors, and human performance constraints.

The ultimate goal, then, is to ensure that '100% manufacturing ready' becomes a standard design and engineering deliverable. The PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) approach to the entire design manufacture-market strategy offers a radical solution to the quality, cost and time pressures of modern production applications and ensures a solid business model for any enterprise. With PLM, digital products exist as rich information circulating in a highly collaborative work environment. Virtual design and engineering mockups can be used not just to craft a physical object, but to actually define, plan, an validate the way products are manufactured.

Empowering your company with Digital Manufacturing as part of an overall PLM strategy, can revolutionize the product lifecycle by creating new value and innovation at each stage of the process.
