Omnify's PLM system provides a single environment for creating and changing product information and enables vital product data to be easily shared between IMS and its customers.
IMS now can act as a working extension of the customer within the Omnify PLM environment, delivering streamlined manufacturing, material sourcing and operational services.
Since Omnify enables IMS to become part of the engineering change notification process, engineering changes become effective immediately.
IMS is able to instantly and clearly understand change requirements and how they may affect work in progress, finished goods or staged orders.
"Because this notification is immediate, there is a 100% reduction in ECO notification time", Marshall said.
IMS also leverages OmniBOM, Omnify's Bill of Material (BOM) management and processing tool, to convert customer BOMs from many different formats to Excel.
OmniBOM provides a clear, concise view of all changes to the BOM.
"OmniBOM is one of our most valued daily use documentation tools and, without a doubt, greatly enhances documentation communication with our customers", said Marshall.
"Leveraging Omnify is mutually beneficial for IMS and their customers by eliminating paper-based processes and creating a controlled environment to manage product data", stated Chuck Cimalore, CTO for Omnify Software.
"Both parties can realise significant time savings, reduced scrap and re-work and decreased operational costs".
