New York based leading branded apparel, footwear and accessories designer and marketer Jones Apparel Group Inc and UGS Corporation have successfully implemented the core capabilities of an enterprise product lifecycle management (PLM) application to manage all data and processes from design concept development into production.
Three Jones apparel divisions are currently using PLM, and a fourth apparel division is now beginning its implementation.
With planned enhancements and implementations over the next six months, the Company anticipates that all Jones apparel divisions will be using a market-leading PLM capability, which will enable the Company to bring products to market more quickly and efficiently.
Peter Boneparth, President and Chief Executive Officer, Jones Apparel Group Inc, stated, 'PLM is an integral component of the Company's initiative to increase profitability by enhancing operational execution, and the results to date demonstrate significant progress towards achieving their goals.
They believe that PLM will help us transform the way they do business, to compete more effectively as a company and to continue to deliver superior product to their customers.'
Jones' PLM application is based on UGS's Teamcenter suite of applications.
The Teamcenter applications were recently named "Technologies of the Year' by IndustryWeek.
At Jones, the PLM application will provide easy access to a single source ofdata, support corporate libraries, and route and status workflow information on a collaborative basis across the extended enterprise.
