Constantly increasing cost pressure calls for new intelligent approaches. Integration of different systems is becoming increasingly important. Following the approach of the Liebenstein Theses, we can draw up the formula:

PLM = Strategic Parts Management + CAD + PDM +ERP

In this sense PLM is not like a system but rather like a concept. We are following this approach in our interpretation. PARTsolutions Strategic Parts Management plays a fundamental role in this concept. All the data can be shown in one user interface through application of link database (LinkDB), which serves as referencing system and replicated in between data buffer. Through intelligent configured filters, different users access data they are interested in and creation of unregulated parts is avoided.
