ERP and PLM in Apparel: the Seam Between a Specification and an Order
You take one factory, one order, and two systems. A system of commitments and a system of definitions split the same order between them. Every expensive week in this course happens at the seam. A decision was made correctly in one system while the fact that would have changed it sat in the other.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can name the numbers you are accountable for and where each one comes from, run a critical path in a system rather than a file, and make the case for or against moving a process off a spreadsheet.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You build a working method for the seam. You write a test that says which system owns a fact. You list what each system cannot know. You put a revision stamp on every requisition. You choose an effectivity rule rather than inheriting it from a picking list. And you add a three-field closing step on a purchase order that costs 40 seconds and feeds the specification back.
