Book Description
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), a new paradigm for product manufacturing, enables a company to manage its products all the way across their lifecycles in the most effective way. It helps companies get products to market faster, provide better support for their use, and manage end-of-life better. In todays highly competitive global markets, companies must meet the increasing demands of customers to rapidly and continually improve their products and services. PLM meets these needs, extending and bringing together previously separate fields such as Computer Aided Design, Product Data Management, Sustainable Development, Enterprise Resource Planning, Life Cycle Analysis and Recycling. Product Lifecycle Management: 21st century Paradigm for Product Realisation explains the importance of PLM, from both the business and technical viewpoints, supported by examples showing how world-class engineering and manufacturing companies are implementing PLM successfully. The book: - introduces PLM, a unique holistic view of product development, support, use and disposal for industry worldwide, based on experience with internationally renowned companies; - shows you how to take full advantage of PLM, how to prepare people to work in the PLM environment, how to choose the best solution for your situation; - provides deep understanding, nurturing the skills you will need to successfully implement PLM and achieve world-class product development and support performance; and - gives access to a companion www site containing further material.

Reader Reviews
I'm very interested in PLM related issues and PLM as a concept has become essential for the company I work for. When I opened this book and tried to read it I became a little exhausted - more than 400 pages with no pictures or figures or charts - only text and pages of various kind of detailed lists. I wonder who are the ones in the core interest group of this book? Certainly not business readers, I personally don't have enough time to or effort to go this through even though I'm very sure that all PLM issues are in place and explained in great detail. From my perspective this is not something to read in a plane. Comment | | (Report this)
