Product lifecycle management is an integrated, information-driven approach—one that comprises people, processes and practices, and technology—to all aspects of a product’s life and its environment from its design inception through its manufacture, deployment and maintenance, culminating in its removal from service and final disposal. PLM encompasses numerous disciplines, including engineering, manufacturing, sales and marketing, supply chain, and customer support.
PLM's distinction from other approaches is that it employs mathematical data modeling, which is linked to the product's physical counterparts for the life of the product. Designers can first model parts and mechanical engineers can simulate plant floor processes without engaging in time-consuming and often expensive prototype creation and workflow disruption. Linking these models with their physical counterparts means that product information will continue to be useful throughout the product's life cycle, including its eventual recycling and disposal.
This course consists of 23 modules of the latest thinking on the concepts, principles, strategies, practices, and applications of PLM. The course will provide particular emphasis on initiating PLM projects at the beginning of the life cycle in engineering and manufacturing and its impact on the rest of the organization. Dr. Grieves presents frameworks to provide economic and value-based justifications for PLM projects and explains the pitfalls of a fragmented approach to PLM.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the concepts, characteristics, drivers, and value of PLM.
- Assess, prepare, and plan for the role of PLM within their organizations.
- Understand new developments in PLM and their practical applications.
- Critically evaluate PLM component usefulness within a comprehensive framework.
- Develop a framework for understanding the current state and direction of PLM.
