In this presentation aimed at shipyard leaders looking to make a business case for PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), we'll tackle why some shipyards recognize the necessity of PLM while others remain hesitant. More crucially, why do many shipyards view CAD and PLM as separate technologies to be implemented independently? Arm yourself with the insights to build a solid business case and dispel the misconception that PLM implementation is a ""herculean"" effort.
David makes the case that CAD and PLM are intrinsically connected, forming a unified information management system that is far greater than the sum of its parts. By addressing common challenges like budget constraints, capacity for change, and implementation momentum, we'll show how a holistic approach amplifies the benefits. Discover how integrating CAD and PLM makes perfect business sense through a low-cost, low-risk, and high-ROI approach.
