(Propel: Redwood City, CA) -- Propel, creator of the first product value management (PVM) platform to transform how manufacturers develop, launch, and service products, has announced its release of Propel Manufacturing Hub. It supports engineering and production by integrating PLM with multiple ERP platforms, creating a continuous product thread throughout the product life cycle.

The handoff from engineering to production is still a problem for discrete manufacturers. Manual data reentry, outdated bills of material (BOMs), and fragile custom integrations drive up costs and slow production ramp-up. Manufacturing Hub addresses this by automatically sending affected items, BOMs, manufacturer parts, and supplier data to the ERP system the moment an engineering change order (ECO) is approved in Propel.

In addition, Manufacturing Hub ensures that every data transfer is securely logged, supporting FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and ISO 9001-compliance requirements in regulated industries. This end-to-end traceability accelerates root cause analysis when issues arise, reduces disputes between engineering and operations, and supports accountability throughout the entire product thread.
