Agile PLM
Oracle's Agile Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) enables the organi-
zation to manage the complete life cycle of a product: from the ideation
phase through to recycling and retirement. Most importantly, Agile
Product Lifecycle Management focuses on process efficiency, rapid inno-
vation, cross-functional collaboration, closed-loop quality control, risk
mitigation, and cost effectiveness. As shown in Figure 1.1, Oracle's PLM
product line consists of four components.
The core of Oracle's Agile Product Lifecycle Management solution for
the complete product value chain, Oracle's Agile Product Collaboration,
enables the organization to connect globally dispersed product teams,
suppliers, and customers in a collaborative environment to accelerate
product launches, as shown in Figure 1.2.
Its functionality includes the ability to:
• Provide secure access to preliminary and released information about
any product, part, or document
• Gain visibility into pending and released changes and items affected
by these changes
• Establish automated and streamlined change-management pro-
cesses with intelligent workflow
• Drive efficient product management across global, multitiered sup-
ply chains
• Create an environment to manage and control manufacturers and
their product content
• Synchronize manufacturing systems with the current product record
• Simplify project and product management with a single integrated
view
• Establish best-practice project and resource management capabilities
