Expert Digital Product Lifecycle & Quality Management

Project overview

For our client, we are looking for an Expert Digital Product Lifecycle & Quality Management.

Project Goal: As part of the digitalization of a previously paper-based and regulated manufacturing environment, an experienced consultant is sought to conceptualize the selection of a suitable PLM system in the project, develop a future-proof target architecture, and create a robust implementation roadmap.

A current development project is to be digitally implemented as a pilot from the outset and serve as the basis for the further transformation of development and quality processes.

Responsibilities

• Gather requirements in quality management, research and development, software development, and partially manufacturing engineering.
• Independently evaluate system options and create a decision paper for the client's decision-making body.
• Define target architecture with a leading system for each data object: item, bill of materials, variant, document, and batch.
• Conceptualize system integrations with Sage 100 and the existing DMS.
• Conceptualize target process for Manufacturing Bill of Material and work plans: creation in the upstream system and import into Sage 100 in one step.
• Develop implementation plan and technically conceptualize the first implementation step of the pilot project.
