Over the past 20 years the PLMIG has run a wide range of initiatives which have established many of the core principles and techniques of PLM.

You can find the tools and methodologies under PLM Improvement.

 

Many PLMIG techniques have raised the horizons of PLM and enable solutions and outcomes that were not previously thought possible.

You can browse these and compare them to your current thinking under Advanced Thought.

 

This twin-track project enables major corporations to swap methods and solutions with each other, while a parallel strand distils these into neutral knowledge.

The findings will produce a new global model for best practice and right-first-time PLM.
