Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)

TCS Integrated Global Support Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) delivers end-to-end solutions to help you effectively administer your project to achieve success. By implementing tried and tested processes, TCS methodology uses a comprehensive approach to manage all aspects of the project. Expenses, inventory, infrastructure requirements, telecommunications services, security, service procurement, vendors, end-user policies, technology transition, documentation, and network optimization are reviewed and optimized at all stages of the project lifecycle.

Truly End-to-End Management

After an initial assessment, a single program manager will be assigned to your account and will work closely through all phases of your contract delivery. In addition to the usual areas of PLM, TCS PLM offers additional key components that are often overlooked, but add core contract value and ensure the long term viability of your project. These include Documentation, Information Assurance, and Training.

TCS has developed specific Program of Record (POR) documentation expertise to include:

• Level of Repair Analysis (LORA)
• Failure Reporting and Corrective Action System (FRACAS)
• Configuration Management (CM) including 
  • Planning & Management
  • Configuration Identification
  • Change Management
  • Status Accounting
  • Verification & Audit
• Engineering Data for Provisioning (EDFP) 
• Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
• Engineering Documentation
  • Engineering Drawings (MIL-STD)
  • Test Plans and Procedures
• Technical Manuals (MIL-STD)
• Training Packages (MIL-STD)
