PLANO, TX, June 10, 2016 – Gestamp, an international automotive supplier, has selected Siemens’ Teamcenter software as its global solution for product lifecycle management (PLM). As a company committed to the design, development and manufacturing of metal components and assemblies for the global automotive sector, Gestamp cited the ability for Teamcenter to help improve product development efficiencies and its advanced project management capabilities, as reasons for its decision. Teamcenter is developed by Siemens’ PLM software business.
“Teamcenter will help us improve collaboration between different functional areas by improving and accelerating the execution of our projects, as well as increasing the traceability and visibility of the main metrics of our projects,” said Jesús Salvador, Organization and Corporate Projects for Gestamp. “It will facilitate more agile decision making, enabling us to provide a better and faster response to our customers.”
Gestamp conducted an in-depth assessment of all the processes involved in its product development value chain, from the initial customer order until all pieces enter the manufacturing stage. As a result of its findings, the company decided to implement a global PLM solution capable of efficiently and effectively managing all of the identified processes within the major functional areas of its products’ lifecycles.
