Product Strategy & Lifecycle Management  

At Deloitte, we can help by strategizing and transforming the product lifecycle management capabilities through leveraging digital technologies to increase the efficiency and effectiveness in how to design, develop, integrate, make and support new and existing products.

Product complexity is growing rapidly and almost 80 percent of product costs and reusability potential are determined in product development. Consequently, there has never been a greater need for product development to prepare and simulate all the steps in the value chain. By using highly customizable models and digital twins, you can constantly optimize your products’ performance throughout the entire chain.

Due to the increasing pace of digital innovations, the possibilities to support the decision making process during the product lifecycle are enormous. However, you should know which information to use during the lifecycle of a product. Questions that arise in the PS&LM domain: How to define digital right? What are the right products for our business? How to design the product right? And how to manage the product right during its entire lifecycle?

These questions come during different phases of the product lifecycle. Our services aim to get the optimal answer to these questions during different phases of the cashflow curve of a product spanning the complete product lifecycle.

1. Digital Product Core Strategy to define digital right
2. Product Portfolio & Complexity Management to select the right product and manage your existing product portfolio
3. Model Based to design the product right
4. Product Configuration Management to manage the product right during the complete lifecycle
