SAP Integrated Product Development vs. Opcenter

SAP PLM is well suited for any industry that needs to track the creation of a product from the raw material stage all the way to the shipped product. I do not think it would be well suited for very small companies which do not have any materials, products, and inventory to track.

SAP PLM encompasses SAP BW and SAP PRD. We tend to focus more on the SAP PRD portion as it directly involves more closely to production. We selected SAP PLM because it gives us a great visibility in the life cycle of materials, products and overall costs. SAP PLM compliments the other packages very well

Opcenter best suits for the deseret manufacturing. It allows to customize and configure easily based on the customer need. Opcneter keeps the metada different than the operation data, so that it can be easily put on any database and switching between database is also very easy because of this feature. User friendly Opcneter Portal studio allows easy customization in case if any UI customization is needed. Modeling helps to configure one time master data setup. Designer helps to extend the meta data in case if needed.

• Accurately able to order raw materials which are necessary for the current production run, thus reducing overhead.
• The negative impact would be the initial cost of the software and how long it would take to ROI that cost.
• It has allowed us to control batches of product creation much more closer and have the ability to cut some erroneous costs which were found in large batches.
