InESS Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) services ensure that changes to products or production processes are controlled, communicated, and documented in a structured way, reducing risks, maintaining quality, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. The goal is to make informed, data-driven decisions at every stage of the product lifecycle, ultimately leading to more successful and sustainable products.

Managing and documenting changes within the PLM system, including system enhancements, updates, and adjustments to workflows. This ensures that changes are tracked, approved, and communicated properly.
Analyzing and improving existing processes within the PLM system to enhance efficiency, eliminate bottlenecks, and ensure that product data flows smoothly across teams (R&D, design, production, etc.).
Managing the end-of-life (EOL) process for products, including tracking component obsolescence, planning for replacements, and ensuring that the PLM system reflects these changes in product data.
Managing the transition from production to end-of-life, ensuring that all stakeholders are informed of phase-outs, and that supply chain and production planning are adjusted accordingly.
Managing the creation, approval, and implementation of Engineering Change Orders (ECOs). ECOs are used to document changes to the design, engineering drawings, or technical specifications of a product.
Ensuring that all design revisions are tracked, and changes are carefully analyzed to assess potential impacts on product performance, manufacturing, quality, and costs.
Facilitating collaboration between engineering, production, quality control, and other departments to ensure that changes are implemented smoothly and consistently across the entire product lifecycle.
Managing Manufacturing Change Orders (MCOs) that involve changes in manufacturing processes, tooling, or materials used in production. This service ensures that all production-related changes are controlled and communicated across relevant departments.
Coordinating updates to production workflows, equipment, or assembly procedures to accommodate changes in the product design, materials, or supplier requirements.
Ensuring that suppliers are informed and can align with manufacturing changes, whether it's a new material, revised part, or updated production schedule. This helps avoid delays or quality issues.

Identifying and deleting old, outdated, or irrelevant data from the PLM system, such as legacy parts, documents, or outdated versions of BOMs (Bills of Materials).
Merging or eliminating duplicate records, such as duplicate part numbers or overlapping product data, to streamline access to critical information and improve system performance.
Reviewing and correcting any errors in data entry, such as inaccurate part specifications, incorrect metadata, or incomplete product information, to ensure data integrity and reduce errors in the design and manufacturing process.
Evaluating and cleaning up the Bill of Materials (BOM) and part numbers to remove redundant or obsolete parts that no longer contribute to current product designs. This can involve merging or deleting duplicate parts and ensuring consistency across BOMs.
Ensuring that parts, assemblies, and products are properly classified and categorized within the PLM system. This improves searching and navigation, as well as prevents mix-ups in product configurations.
Cleaning up part lifecycle statuses to accurately reflect whether a part is in development, production, obsolete, or archived. This improves traceability and ensures proper management of parts through their lifecycle stage
