PLM Standards

After a decade of unstructured commercial development it is time for the PLM industry to develop the kind of standards and professional qualifications that are the norm in other industries.

Achieving this will require extensive discussion and cooperation. The PLMIG is launching this process in 2010, starting with a discussion phase in the widely-circulated 2PLM e-zine. This will lead to a conference or workshop series at the end of Q1 that will provide a platform for users, vendors, integrators, consultants, academics and other organisations to work together to generate the first standards material.

This will be a structured process with international involvement. You can follow developments and add your own views via this link.

PDM Focus

It is time that PDM managers got some recognition, and the chance to share the vast amount of technical knowledge they have developed over the past few years.

Metrics and Cost Control

The PLM User Forum events in Reading and Cleveland developed a framework for quantifying the cost benefits of PLM in terms of the performance indicators already in use within the enterprise.    See more >>>
