Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
Innovative product life cycle management at Continental Tires
Continental Tires implemented a collaborative IT system for its Product Lifecycle Management based on cplace. cplace enables consistent overall program management, mapping and managing most of the cross-departmental relationships and interactions in one system. This has dramatically simplified the management of both, the diversified product portfolio and the enormous complexity of the product engineering process. Today, the cplace solution is in use around the world in the Research and Development, Product Planning, Supply Chain, Ramp-Up Planning and Production departments of Continental Tire.
Challenge
The multitude of individual departments and specialized teams at Continental Tire had resulted in a scattered landscape of processes and software solutions. A variety of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools had been used over the years, in many cases created by the development engineers themselves using Excel. Although all these departments were working on the same projects, exchanging information with each other was very complex, cumbersome and an obstacle to effective collaboration.

Success Story
Project Milestones
“We wanted to find a new approach that would enable us to cooperate at eye level with Business, internal IT and the respective implementation partners to jointly develop a common, collaborative solution. Giving business users the ability to configure cplace using the No-Code and Low-Code approaches was a key door opener for this cooperation at eye level.”
