Topic:  The Expanding Scope of PLM – A Growing Challenge

The scope of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) has been continuously expanding to more effectively support the full digital product lifecycle. This expansion has created additional stress and corresponding opportunities for industrial companies seeking to establish a strategy and develop tactical plans to accommodate this expanded perspective. A particular challenging issue is to understand the relative positions of PLM and other enterprise-wide initiatives. While this has traditionally involved PLM and ERP positioning, we have also seen the inclusion of aspects traditionally considered components of MRO and SRM into PLM. We are seeing the PLM domain continually expand. More recently it has become critical to also consider the overlap and integration with the shop floor and associated Execution systems. This expansion is expected to continue. CIMdata sees the role of key enterprise processes playing a major role in deciding the boundaries between these initiatives in the future. Mr. Miller will discuss this evolving situation and CIMdata's perspective on the overlaps and interactions of these of major product-focused IT-enabled enterprise initiatives.
