FASH 321 - Web Product Data Management

This Web Product Data Management (PDM) course will utilize Gerber’s Web PDM program. In this hands-on course Web PDM students will log on to the system and navigate through Web PDM folders and organizational hierarchy to get a sense of how the system is used in industry. Students will be able to create folders, access databases, and share information as users as the industry would. The course will explore how the Web PDM system manages all the data related to product development through its folder summary pages, spec sheets, check lists, construction details pages, and history notes. The final project will be the creation of a technical package of information that will replicate a “tech pack” used to source an apparel product.
