If you have been following my blog in the past two years, you may have noticed that I am exploring ways to solve the transition from traditional, coordinated PLM processes towards future, connected PLM. In this session I shared with the audience that digital transformation is disruptive for PLM and requires thinking in two modes. Thinking in two modes is not what people like, however organization can run in two modes. In addition, I shared some examples from digital transformation stories that illustrate there was no transformation, either failure or smoke and mirrors.

5. Whatdoes it mean: Coordinated?
Providing the right information at the right time in the right context
6. Whatdoes it mean: Coordinated?
Providing the right information at the right time in the right context
Requires:
An understanding/agreement what’s needed
Most of the time: Delivered in documents
7. Whatdoes it mean: Coordinated?
Providing the right information at the right time in the right context
Requires:
Delivered in documents
Activities that drive the delivery of the information
Most of the time: Predefined processes
8. Whatdoes it mean: Coordinated?
Providing the right information at the right time in the right context
Requires:
Delivered in documents
Predefined processes
Placeholders where the information can be found
Most of the time: Folders or BOM structures
Or (new): Overlay platforms (digital thread)
9. Whatdoes it mean: Coordinated?
Providing the right information at the right time in the right context
Characteristics:
Caters for linear processes
Keeps silos/systems in place
Manual/Automated data conversions
Provides measurable results /
comparable processes
Difficult to implement as it requires horizontal coordination
10. Whatdoes it mean: Connected ?
Providing actual information for anyone connected in any context
Microservices
APIs
Dashboards
Apps
Closer to customers, Empower employees, and Transform internal business processes
Operations
11. Whatdoes it mean: Connected ?
Providing actual information for anyone connected in any context
Requires:
Data created by accountable persons
To be: Breaking silos – Think about consumers of data
12. Whatdoes it mean: Connected ?
Providing actual information for anyone connected in any context
Requires:
Breaking silos – think about consumers of data
Other formats than documents / files
To be: Using Models & Parameters to share
Digital Twin
13. Whatdoes it mean: Connected ?
Providing actual information for anyone connected in any context
Requires:
Breaking silos – think about consumers of data
Using Models & Parameters to share
Reliable data uniquely created and shared in open formats
To be: Using Master Data Management & Data Governance
14. Whatdoes it mean: Connected?
Providing actual information for anyone connected in any context
Characteristics:
Real-time availability
Extremely fast
Scalable / flexible
Knowledge / Insights
Automated / Intelligence

19. WHAT I observed in the field
Sept 2019
“With AR, for example, we can improve the quality
control of the engines,” added Volvo Group's Bertrand
Felix, during an on-stage interview by Jim Heppelmann.
Heppelmann then went down to a Volvo truck with the
engine lifted out of its compartment. Using a tablet, he
was able to show how the software identified the
individual engine, the parts that were included, and he
could also pick up the 3D models of each component
and at the same time check that everything was
included and in the right place.
20. No PLM Digital Transformation : New Silosor Failure
• GE – digital became a new silo
instead of breaking the silos
• Ericsson - Past data (coordinated) is not
compatible with the future(connected)
• Volvo Trucks – “Digital Twin” is marketing
– not solving the connected approach
