About this role
The PLM Consultant supports the implementation of Requirement to Design processes using Infor PLM for Discrete and Infor LN. The role helps customers establish effective product development and engineering change processes, configure PLM functionality, and align data flows between PLM, CAD systems, and LN.
A Typical Day in the Life Includes:
- Implement Requirement to Design processes for new product development and changes to existing products.
- Translate customer requirements into process models, system configurations, and parameters, addressing deviations from the standard end-to-end process.
- Configure Infor PLM for Discrete and coordinate the required LN setup, including companies, users, table sharing, and access permissions.
- Advise on item creation and ownership across PLM and LN. Align the approach with the Design to Release process early in the project, assess advantages and disadvantages, and agree the approach with the customer.
- Support the use of LN master data, item records, bills of materials, and item revision management within the integrated process.
- Configure and support local Office integration for document creation, with CAD integration introduced as a subsequent phase where applicable.
- Support the installation and testing of standard or partner integrations and advise on data exchange between CAD and PLM.
- Develop functional concepts for software extensions and interfaces, and provide advice on data models and data-flow architecture.
- Work with the relevant Infor Deployment Method deliverables, including BRE 050, BRE 140, BRE 100, ANA 050, TES060, and TES070.
Basic Qualifications:
- Good knowledge of standard Infor PLM for Discrete functionality and its setup requirements in connection with Infor LN.
- Understanding of LN general master data, including employees, business partners, units, and addresses, as well as item master data, bills of materials, and item revision management.
- Knowledge of table sharing, user administration, and access permissions across PLM and LN.
- Understanding of the relationship between Requirement to Design and Design to Release, particularly the item master data process.
- Ability to use at least one CAD system, such as SolidEdge or Creo, to support CAD-to-PLM integration work in the subsequent implementation phase.
- Knowledge of CAD integration installation in a Windows environment and an understanding of data-flow architecture.
- Ability to model processes, configure solutions, and define functional requirements for extensions and interfaces.
