This innovation gives managers a broad overview of any related risks and their level of importance, allowing them to make the best decisions possible for the development of collections and their content. In addition, a new feature for timetable management allows users to visualize work schedules at any time, thereby ensuring better control of product development. Collection managers can now take corrective measures simply by modifying programmed “key milestones” to reflect the actual progress of activities. Product development can be followed in real time through a system of intelligent updates which react to the slightest change in schedule, recalculating deadlines which may be affected further down the line.

Lectra Fashion PLM V1R5 is equally innovative in terms of human resources management and facilitates an optimal allocation of workload. Departments are assigned work according to the actual time available, in order to identify and avoid potential bottlenecks. This new, intelligent version of Lectra Fashion PLM also offers another completely original feature: the possibility to analyze the level of performance of each activity in order to optimize future collection development schedules. A specific solution for the fashion sector's unique challenges, Lectra Fashion PLM V1R5 is the result of Lectra's universally-recognized experience. Enhanced by a rapid and streamlined Workflow Management application, the solution is a real asset for professionals in this sector.

Three new functions warrant special mention. A new tool for managing grading rules facilitates the creation of measurement tables. Lectra Fashion PLM V1R5 also offers a more extensive range of report templates for technical specifications, product progress updates, fit, colors, etc. Finally, the new version of Lectra Fashion PLM comprises an advanced search option which allows users to find a specific article at SKU level.
