Pros

It allows us to strategically control operations by product monitoring and production changes.
Gives you the ability to source upcoming products because you have a complete and total view of all resources at all times.
It allows us to control batch management in the production process, this is a key element in our industry.

Cons

The interface is that of your typical SAP program, it's not very user friendly to a person who doesn't use it every single day.
Some simple Windows commands do not work in SAP PLM, such as a copy and paste.
Right click menus generally produce unconventional results if the user is more familiar with Windows right click menus.

Return on Investment

Accurately able to order raw materials which are necessary for the current production run, thus reducing overhead.
The negative impact would be the initial cost of the software and how long it would take to ROI that cost.
It has allowed us to control batches of product creation much more closer and have the ability to cut some erroneous costs which were found in large batches.
