PLM Benefits Reference Model
What is the BRM Initiative?
The objective of the PLM Benefits Reference Model initiative, in its most concise form, is to develop a comprehensive and
useable PLM Benefits Reference Model that is accepted as an industry standard. The Reference Model must satisfy the needs of all types of PLM
organisation, and therefore must be:-
To create such a complex model, and to generate the industry acceptance that it will need, will require an international collaborative project in which the most advanced PLM organisations take part:-
- Global consortium of major PLM users and vendors provides the core participation in the project
- 10-15 multinational organisations
- Based in the USA, Europe and possibly Asia
- Steering Group of PLM experts
- PLMIG development framework allows smaller organisations to take part
Such a complex, global project cannot be run by the PLMIG alone. It needs the input and support of major PLM user and vendor organisations to act as a Steering Group, to set the working framework of the Model, and the terms of reference of the project that will generate it.
The Steering Group will guide a global consortium of PLM users and vendors that form the core participation in the project, with a PLMIG development framework that allows smaller organisations to take part.
Steering Group membership allows far-sighted organisations the opportunity to:-
- Influence the PLM Benefits Reference Model at its formative stage
- See the true best practice state of PLM by meeting other members
- Gain insights into your own PLM implementation and plans
- Display a high profile in the world of PLM
- Host meetings that advance the state of PLM knowledge
Your organisation can join the Steering Group of the Benefits Reference Model directly, or by becoming a Corporate Member (which also gives a 'Steering Committee' role in the other Reference Models).
