Welcome to the PLMIG
The PLM Interest Group is the leading industry body for PLM. It was formed in 2003 as a proactive, global interest
group for PLM and now provides a wide-ranging set of neutral PLM tools and best practices, including a new standard for PLM
Governance published in December 2011.
The PLM Governance Standard is the first international standard to be created specifically for PLM, and enables any
company to establish effective management and communication between the Board and the PLM Team.
The PLMIG is a highly proactive organisation, and will generate more knowledge and material during 2012 as it runs the first
ever global PLM benchmark.
PLM Governance Benchmark
The PLMIG is organising an international
PLM Governance Benchmark amongst user
companies that will run throughout 2012. This is the first time that companies that may spend millions of dollars
annually on PLM will be able to compare how well that money is being spent.
|
|
Thales,
Knorr-Bremse,
DCNS Group and
Honeywell
met in Paris on April 16-17 to confirm the Benchmark structure,
methodology, timescales and deliverables.
The first stage of the Benchmark will start in June, and will deliver bespoke comparisons by the
summer break. The detailed drill-down will start in September and produce the full results by mid-Q4.
|
The benefits of benchmarking in this way are extensive. The exercise gives an
unparalleled appraisal of the entire PLM implementation, from strategy to operations, and a thorough review of your PLM
approach. For those who take part in the detailed drill-down, the Governance Benchmark will provide detailed information about how well PLM affects
the business bottom line. This will provide PLM Teams with all the factual data that is needed to fulfil the
Board's requirements for management information.
The participating companies would be glad to accept more partners, and you can still join the Benchmark in time to
take part in the full programme.

PLM Standardisation
Workshop Programme
The PLM Standardisation Initiative
is underpinned by a series of international workshops that cover the scope and detail of best practice formalisation.
|
The programme was launched with a workshop in Gothenburg for the
Nordic region that
generated a standardised framework for
PLM Governance.
|
|
|
|
|
The Munich Workshop built on the results from Gothenburg, and extended the standardisation concepts into skills,
provisioning, and through-life support. It also laid the groundwork for
the development of a PLM Best Practice Library.
|
|
The
Milan Workshop
in September focused on the new structure of PLM Best Practice, the specific needs of SMEs, PLM application in the process
industries, and the role of advanced technology in PLM
management.
|
|
|
|
|
The London Workshop was hosted by the
IMechE at the beginning of December. It enabled participants to focus on issues that are important to the UK,
and also to debate how PLM standards should be adopted by professional bodies around the world.
|
|
The above series added a great deal of new best-practice material to our understanding of PLM. Techniques
for how to apply this in real implementations were developed at the PLMIG
Standards Implementation Workshop
held in synergy with the
PLM Innovation 2012 Congress in February 2012.
|
|
|
Standardised PLM Knowledge
|
|
|
|
The Standardisation Initiative produces
more material with the publication of the
Path to PLM in the Q2 2011 PLM Journal, showing how to adopt
and implement PLM within a 2-year timeframe.
