BigLever Software is the long-standing leader in the Product Line Engineering (PLE) field. PLE is a leading-edge approach that removes engineering complexity and streamlines the creation, delivery and evolution of a product line. BigLever’s holistic onePLE solution combines its state-of-the-art PLE technology and methods with the business strategy and organizational change needed to accelerate PLE adoption — allowing companies to use PLE to create and bring more product innovations to market faster, more efficiently, and more competitively. 

The underpinning of BigLever’s PLE approach is the creation of a “PLE Factory” which is much like a typical manufacturing factory except that it operates on digital assets rather than physical parts. PLE allows an organization to create a “superset” supply chain of digital assets that can be shared across the entire product line. These digital assets are equipped with all the feature options offered in the product line The PLE Factory is an automated production system that assembles and configures these shared digital assets based on the features that are selected for each product variation. 

With this approach, new product innovations can be incorporated into the asset superset, and more easily and rapidly shared across all the products in the product line portfolio. The technology foundation for the PLE Factory is BigLever’s industry-standard Gears PLE Lifecycle Framework.

BigLever PLE methods and tools provide one unified, automated approach for feature-based variant management. This approach extends across the full lifecycle including engineering and operations disciplines; software, electrical, and mechanical domains; and tool ecosystem. 

Some of the world’s largest forward-thinking organizations across a spectrum of industries are leveraging BigLever’s PLE solution to engineer their competitive advantage through order-of-magnitude improvements in productivity, time-to-market, portfolio scalability, and quality.
