Product Development System Assessment
Gain clear direction, actionable insights, and a roadmap to elevate your PLM/CAD/IoT ecosystem.
Uncover What’s Holding Your Product Development Back
Your product development system directly impacts how quickly and efficiently it can deliver products to market. With all the tools, processes, data, and people most teams struggle with disconnected systems, inefficient workflows, and limited visibility across the product lifecycle.
EAC’s Product Development System Assessment (PDSA) is a structured, high-impact engagement that helps manufacturers evaluate how well their engineering, manufacturing, and service operations work together. We evaluate the entire product development ecosystem – including technology, data flow, team collaboration, and alignment with business objectives – to uncover inefficiencies, identify opportunities for improvement, and deliver a prioritized roadmap designed to strengthen your digital thread and accelerate transformation.
Challenges That Limit Innovation and Efficiency
- Fragmented systems and data silos: When CAD, PLM, ERP, and IoT tools aren’t connected, collaboration slows and quality suffers.
- Unclear strategy or transformation path: Teams know change is needed but lack the insight to prioritize what matters most.
- Underutilized technology investments: Powerful tools like Windchill, Creo, or ThingWorx often deliver only a fraction of their potential value.
- Inefficient processes and handoffs: Manual workflows and inconsistent practices create rework and delays.
- Scaling complexity: As your organization grows, legacy systems and processes struggle to keep pace.
EAC’s assessment provides a clear baseline, bridging the gap between where you are today and where you want to be.
