Accelerating Innovation: PLM and Product Development in Epicor Kinetic

For manufacturers in Vietnam aiming for global competitiveness, speed-to-market is everything. Epicor Kinetic ERP doesn't just manage production; it integrates with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), enabling companies to accelerate R&D, manage engineering changes precisely, and seamlessly move new designs from concept to customer delivery.

1. From Design to Production, Seamlessly

Kinetic centralizes the product development process, which is critical for minimizing errors and delays:

Integrated CAD Management: Directly link engineering designs (from CAD software) with the ERP system, ensuring that the manufacturing Bill of Materials (BOM) always matches the latest engineering revision.
Engineering Change Control: Efficiently manage and track all **Engineering Change Orders (ECOs)**. Epicor ensures that a new revision is not used in production until all relevant approvals, cost analyses, and material availability checks are complete.
Product Costing Accuracy: Before a product is launched, accurately model and calculate its cost based on current raw material prices, labor rates, and overhead—all within Epicor's Finance module.

2. Maximizing Efficiency in Tooling and Resources

For industries like mold-making, tooling, or high-tech manufacturing, managing production assets is key to successful PLM:

Resource Management: Ensure R&D projects and trial runs are scheduled using available machinery and skilled labor without disrupting main production schedules.
Asset Management: Track the usage and maintenance of expensive tooling and equipment. Predictive maintenance minimizes downtime during critical product launch phases.
