Parts Management Assessment: How Do Your Parts Measure Up?
It's all about the parts! Has your team examined your parts library recently? How does it measure up? Many organizations forge ahead with PLM programs or try to revitalize a previous initiative without focusing on the most crucial element - the parts!
If it's been a while since you last reviewed the state of your parts data (or have never attempted that exercise), it's never a bad time to get started! In our experience, beginning the journey with an initial small step can be enough to get the Engineering organization motivated and mobilized to drive improvements in how parts are managed.

5 Key Steps To Developing An Effective Parts & Data Classification Program
Often, organizations overlook the effect of having duplicated pieces of data within a PLM system. One survey found engineers spend 36% of their time on non-value-add work and nearly a quarter of that time searching for information.
Without effective data classification, your engineers waste critical time and effort searching for parts, creating
duplicate parts, and struggling to find a common language for cross-departmental collaboration and reporting.
Prioritizing your classification strategy can eliminate inefficiencies, encourage teamwork and higher productivity, and
ultimately create bandwidth for your team to focus on innovation.
