The PLM Vendor Evaluation Checklist for Process Manufacturers

Most PLM RFPs are built for discrete manufacturers — which means food & beverage, cosmetics, and specialty chemical companies consistently evaluate vendors on the wrong criteria. The result: platforms that pass the evaluation on paper, then require months of customization to support the workflows your team actually needs.

This checklist gives procurement teams, R&D leaders, and IT decision-makers the 18 questions that surface those gaps before selection, not after — covering:

  • Regulatory intelligence

  • Formulation management depth

  • ERP integration behavior

  • Implementation governance

  • Total cost of ownership
