New features in Infor PLM Runtime include:
• Supplier delivery management, which ensures on-time and on-budget delivery of components from multiple vendors to the manufacturer
• Cross-brand checking, which enables companies who design and produce multiple brands in the same manufacturing facility to ensure the consistency and integrity of each brand
• More universal symbols for care labels, eliminating the need to translate care instructions for products sold globally
• Sample order processing, which permits multiple bids to be sent to vendors and automatically converted to sales orders. This capability allows manufacturers to assess new brands and vendors without impacting the production process
• Improved cost calculators allow manufacturers to model for multiple production and supplier scenarios and make trade-offs as necessary to minimize costs. With this enhancement, companies can identify and certify secondary and tertiary suppliers to source materials quickly and ensure accurate costing
“As more apparel and footwear manufacturers move their production overseas to cut costs, the ability to communicate across the enterprise becomes more of a challenge,” said Rory Granros, director, Industry and Product Marketing, process industries & PLM, Infor.
“The new enhancements in Infor PLM Runtime enable manufacturers to effectively manage these globalization challenges and control the flow of product data across their organization, while improving communication with suppliers during the critical development phase.”
