University exploits integrated PLM technology
The first production deployment of the new Product Sight Lifecycle Environment (PSLE) is at the University of Missouri - Columbia, Space Planning Department.
System provides "instant" lifecycle management
The new Product Sight Lifecycle Environment combines the company's SyncroSpec and FindView products to create an instant global product lifecycle management system for manufacturers and engineers.
Product Sight Lifecycle Environment (PSLE) offers robust configuration management tools provided by its Pipeline and Build modules.
These modules deliver best practice based product specification processes, manage engineering change, and other action requests, so that manufacturers eliminate the backlogs and delays caused when geographically distributed operations are launched without the tools and technologies to support them.
Industry professionals worldwide recognise the CMII process as the most robust standard for managing the product design, introduction, and engineering change processes.

Software smooths the way to PLM
FindView Product Data Alchemist is a novel product claimed to directly addresses the biggest hurdle to rapid PLM business value by automating discovery of all existing product data assets.
The PSLE Pipeline module includes CMII closed loop change forms and procedures.
The PSLE Build module includes a CMII Baseline report that tracks the as-planned and as-released status for physical items, all supporting documents, and the controlling changes.
CMII baselines provide full visibility of the current configuration and planned changes.
They bring the most pertinent information together into a single display.
Any other information, if needed, is only one click away.
"The ICM recently upgraded the functionality that must be demonstrated before a software tool can be certified as being CMII-compliant".
"The upgrade serves to further clarify the required content and format of the CMII baseline and the change impact matrix used to update baselines", stated Vince Guess, President of the Institute of Configuration Management.
"Users want information displayed in accordance with how they work and want to use a minimum number of keystrokes to perform that task".
Configuration management (CM) is the process of managing products, facilities, and processes by managing the design specifications that define them and by tracking changes over time.
CMII certification expands the scope of CM beyond design definition to include any information that can impact safety, quality, schedules, costs, profit or the environment.
In addition, CMII incorporates proven processes that include best management practices for change; reuse of standards; ensuring that all requirements are clear, concise and valid; communicating this information promptly and accurately; and that results conform to defined specifications.
"This CMII certification represents an independent critical review by a respected third party evaluation that underscores the depth, capability and ease-of-use of Product Sight Lifecycle Environment", said Bruce Winegarden, CEO, Product Sight.
"Engineering and manufacturing professionals can be assured that these capabilities are available for rapid deployment using business-ready software applications".
