Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) encompasses various engineering tasks on the product and in manufacturing processes throughout the product lifecycle. It begins with the product qualification phase and the start of production. During the subsequent sales phase in the market, engineering work on the product ranges from design adjustments and functional enhancements and optimizations to cost savings. In terms of processes, regular tasks include tool replacement procurement and tool qualification, as well as possible troubleshootings to keep production efficient and stable. M.TEC offers you all engineering services in Product Lifecycle Management.
