5. What is PLM..
• PLM is defined as a systematic concept for the
integrated management of all product related
information and the processes that create this
information, through the entire product lifecycle,
from initial idea to end-of-life.
• It supports the business acquisition, the product
development, the collaboration with partners
during design and planning phases, and also the
production/erection and use/commissioning of a
product/plant and finally the maintenance, repair
and overhaul.

7. The Product
• The product is at the core of PLM.
• There are different 'process views' and these are determined
by the business model and level of product lifecycle support
needed.

11. Designing YOUR PLM
• Each PLM usage is unique
• The business motives and the ultimate PLM solution
components.
• It is well known.., no two implementations are the same
• As is the Business Case and Metrics
• We waste money on this and that
• It should help us to achieve ...
• Each Industry is unique and so are its processes
• Automotive OEM operates different compared to its Suppliers
• Power Generation Machinery is different from Aircraft or
Shipbuilding
11
12. Designing YOUR PLM
• There is no 'standard' PLM model, apart from 'templates'...
• Templates provide information regarding the design/use intent
• Industry 'standards' only give you rules for compliance, not
how to design your processes using PLM
• ISO 10303-233, ISO 15288, 21 CFR Part 11/820, ISO 10007
en EIA 649, etc.
• But also internally, each 'stakeholder' has its own PLM
agenda, its own challenges, its own priorities

13. Process Analysis
Is the establishment of:
• Processes Relative to other processes
• Process Dependencies
• As-Is Input and Output objects
• Roles & Responsibilities
• Tasks Performed
• Challenges experienced
• Needs for Improvement
• Systems and Tools Used
• To-Be Input and Output objects
• Capabilities Needed
• Transformation Approach
• People, Process & Technology

15. Implementation Phases
• Implementing PLM follows a number of distinct phases and
cycles... and it is never finished.

16. Developing a Vision

If you don't plan or know where you are going, you'll probably
end up somewhere else…." Peter Principle (Lawrence J. Peter )
19. QFD Example...
• Quality Function is an important tool to prioritize
sometimes conflicting operational strategies and
their enablers

20. Summary
• PLM as a business goal enabler is a key topic.. How to link the
Solution with Benefit?
• Engineering processes are divers in comparison with financial
and logistical processes.. There are many roads that lead to
Rome. Some are better than others, the challenge is to find the
optimum.

23. Beyond Pre-Alignment
• Align & Plan
• Alignment and Fit of PLM capabilities with needs of
business
• Installation of the 'programme' infrastructure
• Build and Validate
• Configure the Solution, Perform Validation of Functions
and Manage Acceptance
• Ramp up Deployment Preparations
• Deploy
• Prepare for Physical Production Deployment

24. Your Take Away
• PLM is a Broad Business Concept with a focus on the
Product
• Establishment of Business Goals, Usage Vision and
Roadmap are critical
• Stakeholder Commitment is Key
• Implementing PLM is comparable to ERP
• An Application and Experience based Implementation Model
is critical and is at the foundation to Success
• The Rest is just hard work.... 24
