Case Study: a Global Tire Manufacturer achieves greater efficiency with Wipro’s PLM solution

Wipro helps a Global Tire manufacturer with a robust PLM system

A major global tire manufacturer faced inefficiencies due to disparate legacy systems for managing product data, raw materials, and manufacturing processes across its many plants. This lack of integration led to data complexity, multiple user logins, and an inability to manage the product lifecycle from R&D to production under a single system. Seeking a robust and agile Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution, the company partnered with Wipro.

Wipro implemented a customized, centralized PLM platform based on the Teamcenter system, integrated with SAP ERP and other applications. Their solution included specialized modules for raw materials and compounds, a business rule engine, and best-practice templates. This implementation by Wipro delivered significant results, including immediate cost savings of over one million euros, a 10% increase in efficiency, and an 8% reduction in inventory. The single, integrated system eliminated data duplication, improved traceability, and accelerated time to market.
