Accelerate your SAP PLM implementation while ensuring best-practice processes and technical design standards.
Enivision.
Our proprietary Vision Methodology™ builds a practical PLM roadmap for your business with stage-gate ROI metrics to measure and ensure success. It's a collaborative discovery, planning, and prototyping process to help your IT and business stakeholders envision the final solution, heading off conflicts that often arise during and after implementation. Moreover, Vision is a rapid process with concrete deliverables—business case, project plans, resource & cost estimates, and executive presentations are all included.
Design.
Building off your PLM Vision, Linx/AS brings standard business process models to use as a foundation for blueprinting. These are detailed process decompositions for activities such as managing:
Raw material and ingredient specifications
Formulas and recipes
Packaging and artwork
Quality inspection plans
Product portfolios and projects
New product ideas and concepts
On the technical side, Linx/AS Best Practices delivers baseline data structures (property trees) for multiple specifications, such as raw materials and packaging components. Our specification design tools then allow rapid modeling in a Microsoft Excel environment, which can be automatically imported to your SAP system.
Deliver.
Implementation brings our expert consultants, uniquely familiar with the consumer goods industry. Many (over 90%) have experience in process industries—truly an unmatched group, particularly in Recipe Development and Specifications Management disciplines.
Along with PLM expertise, Linx/AS brings a set of accelerator tools to its Best Practices, such as:
Web-enabled load tools for specification data and documents, reducing
creation/migration load times up to 45% of the typical effort.
Preconfigured SAP Workflow framework for rapid deployment of
specification and DMS approval processes—approximately 15-20 days of
implementation time versus 600+ days when doing it from scratch.
Core ABAP code for implementation of a Product Compliance Monitor, which
provides an at-a-glance view of specification status, including all associated
objects and documents.
