Oracle Fusion Cloud PLM Product Overview

Oracle Fusion Cloud PLM is a collaborative product lifecycle management platform that accelerates getting ideas to market. It standardizes and structures the data and processes that go into innovating, developing, and commercializing products and services. Additionally, the software speeds up innovation and new product introductions by efficiently managing items, parts, products, documents, requirements, engineering change orders, and quality workflows across globalized supply chains while seamlessly integrating with computer-aided design (CAD) systems.

Oracle Cloud PLM helps reduce latency, meet global compliance standards, and eliminate supply chain risk throughout the product lifecycle. It provides a digital thread that optimizes design, planning, manufacturing, and service processes for faster, higher-quality innovations. The platform connects innovation, enterprise quality, analysis, collaboration, and IoT data with product development and change management through supply chain and sales commercialization operations. This combination minimizes risk and shrinks new product development (NPD) and introduction lifecycles. Built on a common data model with embedded analytics,

Oracle Cloud PLM lets companies manage, aggregate, and convert digital twin and internal/external information into predictive insights that improve product design, manufacturing, maintenance, and usage. This results in faster decision-making and enhanced product cycle time, time-to-market, and development productivity while decreasing product costs and quality problems.

Product development

Businesses can gain faster product development and launch processes by bridging traditional, disconnected engineering and manufacturing functions with Oracle Cloud PLM. The software provides complete visibility into each product's evolution by monitoring product iterations. Teams can get feedback sooner and avoid costly rework with effective collaboration internally and with their design partners. Oracle Cloud PLM reduces supply risk and tracks part preferences for manufacturing throughout each design stage by maintaining a single view of qualified parts and suppliers across the entire product structure.

Quality management

The platform refines the productivity, quality, and profitability of processes and products. It drives closed-loop quality processes through design, procurement, inventory, manufacturing, and field service to rapidly detect and resolve quality-related events. Companies can perform root-cause analysis on quality issues raised from various sources, including IoT, field service, and incoming and work-in-process inspections.

Product master data management (MDM)

Oracle Cloud PLM enables organizations to commercialize new products and services by sharing the correct product data required for sales, marketing, supply chain, and ERP processes. It keeps item data clean and synchronized across applications, data pools, and partners with a best-practice product information management (PIM) process. It also delivers flexible attribution, change control, and native-governance capabilities. Businesses can feel confident that complete and consistent product information is published across their sales channels while sharing trusted product data across back-end SCM, ERP, and order fulfillment systems.

Configurator modeling

With this software, teams can leverage a dynamic design environment to build configurator models that bring an intuitive user experience. Businesses can create better user experiences by guiding customers to valid product configurations. Product development teams can design, build, and test business logic, model behavior, and overall user experience before release. When releasing new versions, users can also utilize comprehensive impact analysis and validation checks to ensure quality.
