The ERP-Centered Management System is an extension of the enterprise's emphasis on internal resource management, cost management, and procurement management.
However, today's enterprise management philosophy and methods have all changed due to market changes, emphasizing product innovation and service innovation. This can be seen from China's 12th Five-Year Plan to adjust the economic development mode. today, enterprises emphasize project management and process management.
The PLM system evolved from the PDM system. From the previous management of product data to the management of the entire product lifecycle today, the product-centric management is actually embodied, emphasizing project management, process management, product portfolio management, etc. this management method is more suitable for today's enterprises.
It is true that both ERP and PLM are actually information management systems, but they only reflect different management concepts. We cannot simply compare the system from functional differences in the system.
