| PLM Vision by John Stark |
|
| A PLM Vision is a high-level conceptual description of a company's product lifecycle activities at some future time. Often the Vision looks five years ahead. The Vision outlines the framework and major characteristics of the future activities.
It provides a Big Picture to guide people in the decisions they have to take - when strategising and planning - concerning resources, priorities, capabilities, budgets, and the scope of activities. A vision of PLM is needed to provide a clear picture of the future PLM environment. |
Without a clear PLM Vision, companies can invest heavily in many improvement activities, yet fail to meet their product-related objectives. Development of a PLM Vision is the first step towards making major improvements in product development and support performance.
Find out more about PLM Vision and PLM visioning here. PLM Vision and The PLM Grid are part of the PLM Monograph 2012 Series. |

| Standards Implementation Workshop - Registration Opens by Roger Tempest |
|
| Registration is now open for the PLM Standards Implementation Workshop that will take place in Munich on 22-23 February.
The Workshop will focus on how to apply the extensive range of new PLM material generated by the PLMIG event series in 2011, featuring: The PLM Governance Standard is particularly important, because it a distillation of best-practice PLM management and oversight at all levels of a company. Applying the Standard gives the CEO and VPs clear visibility of PLM throughout the enterprise, and provides the PLM Team with a natural mechanism for meeting the Board's requirements. However, everyone who is involved in a real implementation knows that there can be issues of culture, management communication or organisational structure that can be difficult to handle. |
There is also the question of how best to structure the improvement projects that are highlighted by applying standards and best practices.
The Workshop in Munich in February will demonstrate how to apply this knowledge to best effect. If you have ever wanted to learn from the best practices of other companies, and see how to extend your own company's internal standards so that everyone is working effectively, then this Workshop will show you how. The Workshop Agenda is integrated with that of the PLM Innovation 2012 Congress to give participants access to the networking opportunities of the host event. Registration is now open, and will run to 06 February.
