Product Lifecycle Management

Today’s business landscape is complex and contrary. Product lifecycles are getting shorter, operating lifecycles longer, while market life cycles and product lifecycles move at different rates. Increasing consumer sophistication has led to a demand for greater value through lower operating costs, faster deployment and better ROI.

In order to optimize the manufacturing/supply chain processes while capitalizing on complex rebate/discount rules, organizations need to align their operational processes. Equally important is the need to enable product profitability analysis. In multinational enterprises, there is an urgent need for profitability analysis and transparency across all processes, businesses and divisions. A global view of the entire value chain is therefore crucial to an organization’s success.

Westernacher helps clients master these challenges by adapting their organization and IT systems, through the definition and introduction of consistent price models and product lifecycle processes.
