How do you implement and manage a Global "Plan for Every Part" (PFEP)? Any Software or solutions to scale across different ERPs?

I have seen some exciting thinking being developed in Excel but then leveraged and expanded into using EPM cloud-based tools that give the flexibility to adapt and change; but also the capability and pervasiveness of cloud-based solutions.

I haven't found any software to handle PFEP's across multiple ERP systems. It would primarily be in Excel. The challenge is that each PFEP has different tasks for those. You could also build a PFEP template in Notion or Microsoft Power Apps (if your company is a Microsoft company). That sounds like that could be a fun project

Thank you, Nathan - agree, we're having challenges keeping everything in the same place and up to date, every site keeps their own excel file (different formats and varying levels of maturity). We are going to try using the Oracle Product Hub but was wondering if anyone had heard of any other software options.
