Process

Suppliers - There's a need for supplier data and it's often a full-time job chasing down suppliers to provide their data to a system. We can help with that. Have us continually following up or connecting with suppliers to provide the data you need for a spec. Is their data with the PD resource? Let us help track it down to complete.

Workflow - Production and work stoppage is occurring and there's a workflow stuck in a particular status. Responsible resource is either not currently assigned or has become no longer available. Work is piling up and downline departments are performing workarounds because specs are stuck in particular status. Spec Admin can help facilitate movement of those affected specs. Find the right resource to facilitate approvals so work can continue. Help might be on boarding new resource or process and status of existing workflows.

With visibility throughout the whole workflow process we can ping resources to complete their portion of the process and remind them they have specs waiting in their queue.

QC - Work happens fast and is potentially applied in small increments. Meaning specs can often be incomplete which is not good for the downline department or process. Incomplete specs happen all the time. Specs are touched as the data is made available. Effective QC helps to minimize missing data and help facilitate specification completeness. We can perform QC based on your parameters and ping resources to help provide incomplete data.

Application

Specification Entry - Perform entry of data via PDF, Word, Excel or similar formats. When receiving specification data from suppliers data can arrive in an array have formats. You don't have time to perform the entry of that data but need that data to be available for downline departments to perform their tasks. Another common problem with this is that some functional understanding is required here. It's not just data entry. These resources need to know what they're looking at to be effective. Placing data into incorrect fields can be detrimental and wasteful. Our resources have experience and only perform entry only for PLM. You're left with clean and accurate data that can be easily reviewed and workflowed by department head or Spec Admin.

Configuration

Data Migration - PLM software is only as good as the data it contains. There're instances where data simply needs to be migrated from a legacy system to the new PLM system. Those efforts take time. More time for resources who've never perform entry before. Resources with a PLM understanding get date in faster and more accurately.

Configuration - Changes are happening all the time. You've got new products, new data fields are required, or attributes need updating we're configuration experts. Send us a new specification and tell us you need data fields to collect. It's that simple. Since we're working with you as a spec admin support person we're familiar with process and requirements and will not need a ton of explanation to create new data fields.

We've experience creating 15,000+ attributes for a single client before and can help you too.

Change Management

Tracking changes is an everyday requirement. When changes are performed it's not uncommon that often those changes may impact other departments and those departments are not notified.

We can help track changes as they occur and since we're experienced with your process we can recognize when certain changes require departmental notifications so they can adjust.

Maximize your change management potential with a fluent capture and notification system.

Minimial Learning Curve

Knowledge Retention - This is probably the more beneficial benefit of outsourcing with us. Simply able maintain knowledge about your organization's processes and status of specifications. Leadership and resources are in constant movement. By having us be part of the team we don't go anywhere. The knowledge we have can be communicated and relayed to new resources rotating in. There have been situations where we were the only ones who could train and communicate how to use their PLM software, status of specifications, and current work-in-progress because there was so much change at once. Since we were there new resources were able to more effectively learn other vital tasks without the worry about work piling up in PLM software.
