Visual PLM (Product Development and Collection Management)

In this industry, the pressure to deliver innovative products while dealing with an increasingly aggressive time frame for development is one that keeps you in the competitive mode. The Apparel market has been forced to respond to the consumer’s call for innovation and shorten the time to market cycle dramatically. Many successful organizations today are working from the concept of time and action calendars and workflow management that require intuitive technology to support this methodology. The ability of timely product creation is not enough to succeed in the highly competitive landscape…we must create in harmony with constraints that may occur from pre-production and distribution.

The convergence of the two worlds 'creation' and 'pre-production' is a critical factor affecting organizational agility, manufacturing effectiveness and profit levels.

Porini Collaborative Manager

One of the major challenges of the Apparel and Textile Industries is the constantly increasing global competition and the challenge of being able to keep up with the customer demands for new products, as well as the constant need to target emerging markets by keeping the vendor-supplier relationships. How does one change and shape an organization to initiate and sustain an effective collaboration process with their partners? Porini, the Microsoft Industry Builder for the Apparel and Textile industries has resolved this issue with the Visual Collaborative Manager, a key component in the Porini Visual Stack.
