KHI plans to implement Aras Innovator as a platform-as-a-service for maximum business agility, the company states. It will also leverage Aras as a unified service platform for new product development and optimizing costs between and within the company’s multiple business units.

“The challenge for our PLM system was to shorten the construction period and reduce costs in the whole KHI group,” said Yutaro Mishima, information planning department, corporate planning division of KHI. “With Aras, our business units can share process innovations with one another faster and greatly reduce outflow charges, all in a common system infrastructure that is easily tailored to each unit’s unique requirements.”
