Are there any other strong selling points for SCM PLM integration?
One of the arguments for integration, something that is growing in importance, is increasing regulation and the related topic of sustainability goals. Mandates such as Europe’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical (REACH), and End of Life Vehicle (ELV) mean that the Wild West days of sourcing are over. Companies need to be able to document and track what goes in to their products, where it comes from and, often, what happens to it after it reaches the customer. The PLM side of the equation provides a viewpoint based on the creation and manufacture of the product while the supply chain management view offers the opportunity to ensure traceability from cradle to grave.
