About Inphi

Why PLM?


Our customers demand high quality Inphi products go into expensive systems which are expected to be in use

for >10 years

Inphi grew from a small company in a single location to

a 460+ employee company with world wide locations Processes and procedures became harder to manage and enforce

Things done differently at each location

Needed better visibility to data in the form of data mining and reporting

Why PLM?

We had “PLM” via many different methods that were not

scalable nor providing the desired results Email, spreadsheets, network drives, SharePoint

Ineffective / unenforced processes and procedures

Drive-by communication

With scattered information and lack of control, people were

uninformed of a change – when or why it happened

Inphi’s “PLM” Problem

Identifying the problem – Business Solutions

Quality Management

Return Material Authorization

Failure Analysis

Corrective Actions

Change Management

Supplier Management

Product Management

Items & BOMs

Project Management

Issue Tracking

Document Management

We identified key areas that needed addressing

We knew that existing Business Systems had to be

taken into account – This meant Integration

Finance utilizing Oracle EBS

Sales utilizing salesforce

Engineering utilizing Autodesk Vault

Identifying the problem – Integration

We evaluated a number of PLM systems

Customer demos and references

Requirements:

Limited IT support

Easy to administer, configure and support

Low cost of entry and 5 year cost of ownership

Strong technical support

Able to address all the business issues (and more) we identified

Secure

Connecting Systems with Integration

Breaking down the Solution Elements – Integration

Items & BOMs / Document Management Integration:


Items & BOMs Integration:

Engineering, Operations, and Marketing enter Product data into

PLM 360

Procurement, Planners, Finance add important information to the

Product after development in Oracle EBS


Building the Integration

Both Oracle EBS & PLM 360 were steady state environments

All fields and workflow states to be captured as part of this

integration were considered early on in the requirements

gathering phase

PLM 360 business applications were piloted before Integration

Used with out Oracle EBS in production

Jitterbit installed On-Premise

Production

Development


Customer Integration

Customer information is needed in PLM 360 to create

relationships to items

Customers are created in Oracle and pushed into PLM 360 and

salesforce via Jitterbit integration


Supplier Integration

The supplier on-boarding and review process is managed by PLM

360

Supplier financial information is entered in Oracle

Supplier status is managed in PLM 360 and pushed to Oracle


When, who, and why something was changed visible to

all

Information (drawings) easily found in Vault with

integration

Reduce input errors when creating items and BOMs in

Oracle

Requirements for Mapping Phase

Core Team + Subject Matter Experts

PLM Software Matter Expert

The Know and No

“Know” the scope of what you are building

Don’t be afraid to say “No”

Have a third party document the requirements

All parties confirm the requirements

Avoid the “I said A, you heard B, then built C” scenario

Lessons Learned – Mapping It

Have an agreed upon plan

Document the foundation

Workspace architecture and workflow first

Automate later. Moving targets are hard to hit.

Integrate last when the workflow is static

Moving targets get even harder to hit when integration is involved

Limit changes as you near the end

Only minor changes past core team acceptance

Stand by what you built

Lessons Learned – Building It

Find capable, enthusiastic adopters for training

Likely to give good, constructive feedback

Likely to play in the system and find things you may have missed

Likely to stay positive and spread the word

Have a wingman in your early training sessions

Allows you to focus on the adopters while they document

changes
