As such, PLM is responsible for securing material availability for ASML's new systems during proto phase, early shipping and initial ramp up. This involves the planning and release of new and changed materials throughout the supply chain from system development & engineering through suppliers and manufacturing to customers. In a fast-paced industry, PLM is involved in system development from day one - defining logistics requirements and identifying potential risks in suppliers' design and production processes. In the spirit of concurrent engineering, this happens while the system is still being developed, so specifications, timing and resources are constantly subject to

Planning & Logistics is an operations organization, responsible for ensuring material availability to ASML's factories and customers. Our DNA contains customer focus, concurrent engineering, virtual integration plus the ability to thrive in a volatile market, accelerate the supply chain and deliver creative solutions. Planning & Logistics plans up to four years ahead while customer requirements and system bill of materials can change at any time.
