Phase 4: Testing and Validation
The testing of the PLM system included unit, integration as well as the user acceptance testing.
Phase 5: Deployment and Training
The system was implemented in phases to reduce the impact of the training, thereby providing comprehensive training with a view to achieving good uptake.
