Description

A Feature-based Product Line Engineering (PLE) Factory functions similarly to a traditional manufacturing facility, but it focuses on digital assets rather than tangible components. To build this factory, your organization develops a comprehensive “superset” supply chain of digital assets that are accessible across the entire range of products. These assets come with all the available feature options provided in the product lineup. The selected features for each product are detailed in the Bill-of-Features, and subsequently, a product asset instance is generated using the Gears product configurator. The PLE Factory, driven by Gears, transforms into an automated production system that assembles and configures the shared digital assets according to the chosen features for each product variant at the simple push of a button. With BigLever’s Gears, your organization benefits from a unified set of PLE concepts and frameworks, enhancing your tools and assets, which ultimately streamlines engineering processes throughout the entire product lifecycle. This integration not only promotes efficiency but also fosters innovation within product development.

Description

CPQ software, which stands for Configure, Price, Quote, serves as a vital digital connection between customers and the manufacturing process. Its primary functions include product configuration, determining prices, and generating quotes. This software is designed with a strong focus on meeting customer demands, ensuring that it proposes the most appropriate products for various scenarios. A set of predefined rules guarantees that configurations are accurate, facilitating a smooth transition to subsequent processes. By utilizing a modular variant system, standardized function modules can be combined in innovative ways to produce custom product variants tailored to the client's specifications. The product configurator within a CPQ system effectively translates customer requirements into relevant products and features. Additionally, workflows driven by rules eliminate the need for extensive internal consultations and approvals. As a result, the sales cycle is accelerated by 28%, leading to enhanced sales efficiency while optimizing pricing strategies, which in turn boosts opportunities for cross-selling and upselling, ultimately elevating both sales and profit margins. Leveraging this technology not only streamlines the sales process but also fosters stronger relationships with clients through personalized offerings.
