The Events: Product Lifecycle Management module enables you to plan for new and end-of-life products in a life cycle. This includes launch curves, BOM costings, EOL curves, and cannibalization and ROI analysis.

The key components of the Events: Product Lifecycle Management module are:

  • Manage Products for NPI / EOL: Helps you select products that have a new product introduction (NPI) or end of life (EOL) status. You can override the plan at the customer level.
  • NPI Planning: Enables you to create plans for new products and its associated cannibalized products.
  • NPI BOM Costing: Enables you to manage a bill of materials (BOM) to determine the cost of a new product introduction (NPI).
  • EOL Planning: Enables you to create a phase-out plan for end-of-life (EOL) products.
  • Summarize Product Lifecycle Impacts: Use this page to view a summary of the overall impact of a baseline plan for new product introductions (NPI) and end-of-life (EOL) products.
