When del\u00adving into the world of vari\u00adants, many dif\u00adfe\u00adrent terms quick\u00adly sur\u00adface that only seem to be direct\u00adly rela\u00adted to one ano\u00adther. Some of the terms used are vari\u00adant manage\u00adment, pro\u00adduct con\u00adfi\u00adgu\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon<\/a> or com\u00adple\u00adxi\u00adty manage\u00adment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The term vari\u00adant manage\u00adment<\/strong> means, among other things, the manage\u00adment or admi\u00adnis\u00adtra\u00adti\u00adon and thus con\u00adtrol of the vari\u00adants of pro\u00adducts. A vari\u00adant of a pro\u00adduct can also be refer\u00adred to as a cha\u00adrac\u00adte\u00adristic. For the initi\u00adal con\u00adside\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon, it is irrele\u00advant whe\u00adther the vari\u00adants alre\u00ada\u00addy phy\u00adsi\u00adcal\u00adly exist in the warehouse or whe\u00adther the\u00adre is only a theo\u00adre\u00adti\u00adcal descrip\u00adti\u00adon of the vari\u00adant. The com\u00adple\u00adxi\u00adty of vari\u00adant manage\u00adment aims at the pre\u00adcise descrip\u00adti\u00adon of the cha\u00adrac\u00adte\u00adristics of the respec\u00adti\u00adve pro\u00adduct ver\u00adsi\u00adons in order to distin\u00adgu\u00adish them from one ano\u00adther. Well-defi\u00adned pro\u00adduct vari\u00adants are often also iden\u00adti\u00adfied with uni\u00adque pro\u00adduct codes or type codes. The pos\u00adsi\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties of map\u00adping the pro\u00adper\u00adties are diver\u00adse and can vary con\u00adsider\u00ada\u00adb\u00adly depen\u00adding on the type of pro\u00adduct.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Within this frame\u00adwork com\u00adple\u00adxi\u00adty manage\u00adment<\/strong> also plays a role. Many manu\u00adfac\u00adtu\u00adr\u00aders of mul\u00adti-vari\u00adant pro\u00adducts are over\u00adwhel\u00admed by the amount of parts and assem\u00adblies that are used in the\u00adse pro\u00adducts. In this con\u00adtext, sup\u00adpli\u00ader pro\u00adces\u00adses also play a role and need to be con\u00adside\u00adred as well. Which buy\u00ader would\u00adn\u2019t be hap\u00adpy to know that three depart\u00adments are actual\u00adly orde\u00adring the same screw from dif\u00adfe\u00adrent sup\u00adpli\u00aders at dif\u00adfe\u00adrent pri\u00adces. Opti\u00admi\u00adzing this sup\u00adpli\u00ader pro\u00adcess is worth pure money. Howe\u00adver, using soft\u00adware solu\u00adti\u00adons for this pur\u00adpo\u00adse will only help if the under\u00adly\u00ading data struc\u00adtures are stan\u00addar\u00addi\u00adzed. Nevert\u00adhel\u00adess, indi\u00advi\u00addu\u00adal cus\u00adto\u00admer requi\u00adre\u00adments, exten\u00added legal regu\u00adla\u00adti\u00adons, glo\u00adbal frame\u00adwork con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons, sus\u00adtaina\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty con\u00adside\u00adra\u00adti\u00adons, ope\u00adra\u00adting con\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons and much more lead to incre\u00adasing\u00adly com\u00adplex pro\u00adduct cha\u00adrac\u00adte\u00adristics.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The term pro\u00adduct con\u00adfi\u00adgu\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon<\/strong> descri\u00adbes pro\u00adces\u00adses in which spe\u00adci\u00adfic vari\u00adants or cha\u00adrac\u00adte\u00adristics of pro\u00adducts are found or put tog\u00ade\u00adther. Hence pro\u00adduct con\u00adfi\u00adgu\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon builds on the know\u00adledge and data struc\u00adtures of vari\u00adant manage\u00adment. The pro\u00adduct con\u00adfi\u00adgu\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon can be seen as an inter\u00adface to seve\u00adral are\u00adas. A pro\u00adduct con\u00adfi\u00adgu\u00adra\u00adtor can for ins\u00adtance help end cus\u00adto\u00admers to find their indi\u00advi\u00addu\u00adal\u00adly desi\u00adgned pro\u00adducts, signi\u00adfi\u00adcant\u00adly sim\u00adpli\u00adfy the pre\u00adpa\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon of quo\u00adta\u00adti\u00adons for sales repre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adti\u00adves working in the field, sup\u00adport the con\u00adtrol\u00adling pro\u00adcess or ser\u00adve as a mas\u00adter data base for pro\u00adduct deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment. As a CPQ sys\u00adtem (Con\u00adfi\u00adgu\u00adre Pri\u00adcing Quo\u00adte<\/a>), the pro\u00adduct con\u00adfi\u00adgu\u00adra\u00adtor can resol\u00adve all depen\u00adden\u00adci\u00ades bet\u00adween pro\u00adduct com\u00adpon\u00adents and thus pro\u00advi\u00adde con\u00ads\u00adtruc\u00adti\u00adble solu\u00adti\u00adons. Depen\u00adden\u00adci\u00ades do not only include the hard cons\u00adtraints and exclu\u00adsi\u00adons, but also opti\u00admiza\u00adti\u00adons, recom\u00admen\u00adda\u00adti\u00adons and vali\u00addi\u00adties based on a wide ran\u00adge of assump\u00adti\u00adons and para\u00adme\u00adters.<\/p>\n<\/div>

CREALIS\u00ae PDM <\/a>(Pro\u00adduct Data Manage\u00adment) is a sys\u00adtem that enables the struc\u00adtu\u00adred sto\u00adring of vari\u00adant infor\u00adma\u00adti\u00adon. At the same time it offers many func\u00adtions to defi\u00adne depen\u00adden\u00adci\u00ades in a simp\u00adle, clear and under\u00adstan\u00adda\u00adble way. It is irrele\u00advant whe\u00adther the models are based on small-sca\u00adle, nes\u00adted BOMs or a more modu\u00adlar view is to be built up. The ques\u00adti\u00adon of whe\u00adther this can be descri\u00adbed as vari\u00adant manage\u00adment then depends on the respec\u00adti\u00adve point of view. CREALIS\u00ae CPQ<\/a> builds on the PDM struc\u00adtures and offers a con\u00adve\u00adni\u00adent and com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsi\u00adve con\u00adfi\u00adgu\u00adra\u00adtor appli\u00adca\u00adti\u00adon with all neces\u00adsa\u00adry func\u00adtions such as con\u00adflict hand\u00adling, aut\u00adho\u00adriza\u00adti\u00adon and role con\u00adcepts, mar\u00adket-spe\u00adci\u00adfic pro\u00adduct cata\u00adlo\u00adgues, pri\u00adce cal\u00adcu\u00adla\u00adti\u00adons, docu\u00adment gene\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon and much more.<\/p>\n<\/div>
