Procter & Gamble Company (P&G), the world’s largest consumer goods company, has selected Simulia SLM as its simulation lifecycle management solution to support its modelling & simulation strategy.

The announcement evolves the long-standing business relationship in the simulation domain from one of solution provider into a strategic, collaborative partnership. By working closely with Simulia, P&G will define critical SLM requirements and identify out-of-the-box capabilities that will be incorporated into the general Simulia SLM solution and adopted globally within P&G.

P&G shares a common vision with Simulia regarding the democratisation of predictive simulation

Tom Lange, Procter & Gamble “P&G shares a common vision with Simulia regarding the democratisation of predictive simulation,” said Tom Lange, director of Corporate R&D Modelling and Simulation at P&G. “It is our goal to make the benefits of realistic simulation available to a broader range of users than previously possible. Simulia SLM will help our global teams accelerate innovation by providing access to simulation tools, validated processes and corporate knowledge bases throughout the product lifecycle.”

Based on Dassault Systèmes’ V6 platform, and running on Microsoft Windows servers, with some high-powered computing also on Linux, Simulia SLM enables P&G to capture, share and automate the execution of approved simulation methods, improve traceability of simulation data, and accelerate decision-making while securing valuable intellectual property.

The selection of Simulia SLM reinforces P&G’s recently announced commitment to leveraging Dassault Systèmes’ V6 technology. By integrating its existing systems with Enovia’s Consumer Packaged Goods Accelerator for Global Specification Management, P&G anticipates it will be able to better manage products spanning multiple brands and markets.
