“…In this paper, we stated that both NPD and PLM solutions are context dependent: for example, the NPD process in the food industry is very different from that in the fashion industry, and the PLM solution must be specific for each of them [8]. An interesting avenue for future research on the topic would be represented by an attempt to identify groups of industries with similar NPD processes and, consequently, similar PLM systems.…”

“…The latter (systems) enables employees to efficiently leverage the company's expertise and knowledge, as well as to effectively generate big ideas and profitable products. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution could be seen as a key driver of innovation and success [2,[5][6][7][8]. Though, while successful applications of PLM solutions can be found since the late 1990s in the so-called discrete manufacturing industrieswhere automotive sector shows the greater number of adopters [9]very little is known about the impacts of PLM solutions implementations in New Product Development (NPD) within process manufacturing kind of businesses, where food industry belongs to.…”

As widely known, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is a set of business solutions and tools for the management of the entire lifecycle of a product, from its conception to its disposal. Despite PLM was born in traditional contexts, recently it is increasingly used in other sectors such as the fashion industry, even if it shows several features that distances it from the traditional approach to PLM deployment. Request for customized products, rapid changes in customer's preference and the consequent shorter product lifecycles make the fashion environment very complex. Within this scenario, PLM has the potential to enable fashion industry to reduce time to market and to increase competitiveness in the global scenario, but quite often clear guidelines are not available. Literature is not exhaustive, as we can't find articles covering the whole set of functionalities. Quite often only few features have been mentioned and the same functionalities have been differently called. To overcome this gap, the purpose of this research is the definition of a framework on PLM functionalities in fashion, classified according to the macro-processes where they are involved. The result is an overview of the PLM functionalities organized in macro-processes, moving from the development of the creative idea to the arrival in the stores, validated by experts of PLM software houses working within the fashion industry. From a managerial point of view, it represents a clear guideline to support companies and vendors to identify the whole range of PLM functionalities and the processes positively involved during their implementation.

This current research, as a natural consequence of previous findings, focuses on the first phase of the New Food Development (NFD) process. Being this phase the most creative and innovative, it comes naturally to think it is also the most chaotic, very difficult to standardize and to control. At the same time, this phase is considered one of the most important of the overall process, because it adds the most value to the product that is going to be created. Starting from these considerations, the aim of this paper is to enrich the previous study by understanding how food companies could enhance their competitiveness by leveraging on their front-end process, with a special focus on the use of structured approaches for creativity and innovation and on the PLM solution. An important multinational food company has been used as a case study to investigate the above research objectives and to provide a preliminary conceptual framework to model the impact of structured front-end process on the overall NFD success. This study allowed to identify how the FFE food process is structured, the main CSFs and KPIs, as well as which methods and IT tools are used to support the analyzed process. Concerning the latest, a deeper analysis has been done focusing on the PLM solution, understanding how its functionalities are used to support the different FFE process sub-activities. Finally, this work confirms the results identified in the previous study, affirming the lack of adoption that the PLM solution plays in the FFE phase.
