CS-Enterprise - Connecting Technology & Your Business Strategy

CS-PPLM (Program and Product Lifecycle Management) is a web enabled solution connecting technology and your business strategy to address the entire lifecycle of the quote to award/post-award business process - from cost estimating, engineering, bill of material and manufacturing process generation, through quoting, financial revue, documentation, and submission of bids in the unique format required by each of your OEM customers.

What Is Working and What Is Not?
"Companies that deploy PLM-related technologies have recognized significant top and bottom-line benefits, increasing product revenue by 19%, decreasing product cost 15%, and reducing development costs by 16% on average", comments Jim Brown, VP of Product Innovation and Engineering Research at Aberdeen. "What is clear from this benchmark is that companies that implement PLM well are receiving more than their fair share of these benefits."

Success in the Automotive Supplier Industry Means Acquiring Profitable Business and Delivering On Time.

Your company's reputation and profitability depends on consistently managing dozens of people, thousands of details and millions of dollars. With costs soaring and cost cutting initiatives exhausted, margins continue to evaporate. Each new or modified program you pursue must be feasible, deliverable and profitable. There continues to be little room for errors.

Selecting which RFQ's to respond to is a continuous challenge to insure that opportunities won become profitable ventures. Production, engineering, costing and other tribal knowledge stored in people's minds, computers and file cabinets must be accurate, up to date and accessible to your enterprise. Cost cutting measures alone no longer insure profitability for each program you pursue. Each supplier must pursue new business opportunities while continually managing the business side of program management and product engineering changes.
