Procter & Gamble Company (P&G), the world’s largest consumer goods company, has chosen to implement Dassault Systèmes' Enovia solution as its enterprise-wide PLM backbone.

The new solution is built on Dassault Systèmes’ V6 technology and Enovia itself is built with Microsoft's .NET Framework. P&G also uses 3DVia, Simulia, Delmia and Solidworks solutions from Dassault Systèmes.

Michael Telljohann, PLM director, Procter & Gamble, said: “In an organisation as large as ours, with so many brands, products and geographies involved in the design and manufacturing process, PLM enables us to save both time and cost from the bottom line, making P&G a more productive organisation and strengthening our innovation capability.”

Michael Telljohann, Procter & Gamble Building on the 16,000 Enovia users (12,000 internal and 4,000 external) currently deployed in the Corporate Standards Systems, P&G will implement the Enovia Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) Accelerator for Global Specification Management to better manage products spanning multiple brands and markets. This approach will reduce the number of regulatory compliance systems, lower raw material costs, reduce cycle times and enable lower cost labour centres.

“As a company that has always embraced the spirit of innovation, P&G understands the value of PLM collaborative innovation and lifelike experience to reduce cost and time-to-market,” said Bernard Charlès, president & CEO, Dassault Systèmes. “P&G’s vision to implement company-wide PLM for a single source of product data and processes, from specifications to compliancy, sets the stage for its own industry as well as others such as life science and apparel.”
