As the environment surrounding the manufacturing industry in Japan gets harsher, businesses are not only required to quickly recognize saleable products and shorten development periods in an attempt to put products onto the market rapidly but also to provide profit forecasting covering all businesses (from sales to after-sales services) and to ensure manufacturer accountability in regards to environmental regulations, etc. To meet these needs, it is necessary to introduce "PLM"(product lifecycle management) to ensure thorough product information management across all process stages — from planning and development up to sales, maintenance, and disposal. In this way, applying PLM can optimize profits across the whole product lifecycle, ensure safety and security, and continuously improve CS (customer satisfaction). As a manufacturer ourselves, Hitachi is establishing its own PLM, and utilizing the know-how gained in order to provide "PLM solutions."
