Version 6 of Aras PLM, the business ready solution and Aras Innovator, includes actionable metrics based on a standardized set of key performance indicators for product development. The software is built on Microsoft .NET technology. Actionable metrics are displayed in real-time, graphical scorecards and dashboards within Aras PLM delivering visual management. The ability to set goals is included for companies that want to run product development like the rest of the business by measuring performance over time and focusing resources on value-added activities. Users can identify and fix issues before they become problems and proactively target areas for continuous improvement. Executive visibility gives managers immediate insight into where the business is performing well and where they need to focus to improve in five critical areas: product innovation, engineering efficiency, design-to-goal, engineering optimization, and time to manufacturing. The metrics are real-time roll-ups of the actual processes and ongoing operations so the information is always up-to-date and managers are able to drill down to the details to take action.
