Topic s should be of interest to OEMs and suppliers.\nThe automotive industry ha s gone global. For the most part\, competition\, suppliers\, manufacturing and support operations\, and other key business relationships and facilit ies are distributed around the world. Competition in certain markets conti nues to heat up\, while in other markets keeping steady is the name of the game. The increase of supply chain and business operation-related complex ities is placing a significant amount of press coverage on today’s automot ive industry participants.\nWhile the increase in business complexity has been painful for many\, product\, support\, and end of life complexities h ave also increased significantly during the same time frame. All of this h as forced many in the automotive industry to rethink\, enhance\, and innov ate the way they think about and use product lifecycle management (PLM) en abling solutions. For some\, their key PLM solution providers have guided them in this journey\, for others\, creative endeavors have resulted\, and for the rest\, lifecycle management breakthroughs are required\, but are not yet available.\nTo better understand the current state and future pote ntial of PLM in the automotive industry the following topics\, along with others\, will be addressed:\n\n\nMaterials engineering and its impact on a ll lifecycle phases need to be understood and enabled.\nNew manufacturing technologies\, such as 3D printing\, must be adopted as well as the optimi zation of new products and associated manufacturing and service processes. \nSoftware development must be managed as part of the overall product deve lopment process\, instead of as a side effort.\nCollaboration must evolve to mean co-development across the supply chain\, from ideation to retireme nt. To support enhanced collaboration\, practitioners are turning to model -based systems engineering.\nSimulation and analysis must be used early an d often in the product definition process\, not just to simulate the produ ct but also the processes.\nThe Internet of Things (IoT) and other emergin g technology enablers and how these are being incorporated into go forward strategies.\n\n\n\n \;\n\n\n\nRegister\nAgenda\nWhy Attend?\nWho Shou ld Attend?\nLocation &\; Cost to Attend\nReceive our Updates\n\n\n  \;\n \; DTSTART:20161230T050000Z LOCATION:The Inn at St. Johns\, Plymouth\, MI () SUMMARY:PLM Road Map™ 2016 for The Automotive Industry END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
