Overview

Corporate Membership of the PLMIG enables companies to combine their own PLM development with high-level guidance of the direction that the future direction of PLM should take.

The primary aim of PLM standards is to enable user companies to save the massive amounts of effort that are wasted in rationalising PLM across geographies, subsidiaries, and the customer/supply chain.

The first PLM standards will not be all-encompassing, mandatory specifications but will be the useful "building blocks" that help give shape to PLM.  The initiative can then progress over time to work on the major standards, such as 'PLM for M&A' and 'PLM Delivery'.

There are benefits for both user companies and suppliers that are actively involved in shaping the new standards. As well as having first use of the new material, they will be able to directly influence their detail and structure.

• Steering Group participation in the PLM Standards Initiative
• application of PLMIG tools and methodologies directly to your PLM environment, on site
• free participation in PLMIG workshops and events to gain the earliest experience of the new knowledge
• workshop deliverables including the PLM Maturity Reference Manual
• PLMIG methodologies such as the Benchmarking Handbook and the PLM-SCM Guidebook
• standard member tools such as the Self-Assessment Toolkit
• quarterly PLM Journal
• incorporation of your PLM issues and needs into the Reference Model initiatives
• coordinated collaboration with other Corporate Members on PLM Industry issues in a 'round table' format
• annual review of the direction and planning of the PLMIG

Full Corporate Membership includes a working session at your premises to disseminate the PLMIG material and to work on the issues that you regard as most important.
