1: Introduction to PLM

By Cynthia Tomovic

Old Dominion University

Abstract

In this module, Product Lifecycle Management is introduced as “an integrated, information-driven approach comprised of people, processes/practices, and technology to all aspects of a product’s life, from its design through manufacture, deployment and maintenance – culminating in the product’s removal from service and final disposal. By trading product information for wasted time, energy, and material across the entire organization and into the supply chain, PLM drives the next generation of lean thinking” (Grieves, 2006).
