Integrating Specification Management with Product Development and Sourcing is the NEXT CHALLENGE
Today, Product Managers are challenged by the complexity of managing product specifications in the product development portfolio. Extensive product data is contained in spreadsheets, databases, libraries and email. This requires thousands of communications and collaboration between dispersed organizations, access and integration of multiple information systems and well-defined engineering change control processes.
With the introduction of Spec Manager, the specification coordination process is elevated to
a collaborative partnership between members of the supply chain. Spec Manager™ brings
together people and information and supports product development lifecycle stages and
processes.
Zweave’s Spec Manager leverages the latest technology to support the creation of a spec
Management Portal with powerful functional capabilities for collaboration, project management, document management, and configuration management. Spec Manager is
powered by ProductionCOMM Zweave’s collaborative portal for managing the
production of clothing and individual equipment products.
