| 2011 Geneva PLM Conference by John Stark |
|
| The website for the Geneva International Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Conference and Exhibition opened on July 14. To register, click on Registration Process.
The Conference will be held at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland on September 6-7, 2011. It's been structured to benefit everyone working in the PLM area: if they are just starting out in PLM, or if they have long experience of PLM; if their organisation is taking its first steps in PLM, or if it's way down the road to PLM. |
On both days, there are three parallel tracks, and participants can attend the presentations that will be of most value.
The Conference addresses PLM across the product lifecycle: innovation; development; manufacturing; use/support; retirement/disposal. It has a strong focus on the successful use of PLM in industry, with most of the speakers being from industrial companies. |

| Standardisation Moves To Milan by Roger Tempest |
|
| The PLM Standardisation programme that launched in Sweden and Germany will continue with a new workshop for the Italian region on 27-28 September. The event is run in partnership with Promise Innovation and Holonix, and will be hosted by the PLM user company Nearchimica.
The Standardisation Initiative is developing exactly as predicted at the start of the year, and the first results are now available. Delegates in Gothenburg generated the framework for a new standard for PLM Governance (see 2PLM June 06). The Munich Workshop prompted the first edition of the PLM Best Practice Library (2PLM July 04), which has been published in the Q1 2011 PLM Journal. The Milan Workshop is an opportunity to build on these results and to extend the range of subjects. It will give Italian companies the chance to discuss their own PLM issues, and to see how PLM is being applied in the Italian region. Because of the nature of Italian industry, there will be a particular focus on PLM for SMBs, and the Workshop will include the first presentation of the 'Path to PLM', which is a structured implementation framework based on best-practice knowledge and experience. As well as the industrial emphasis, the Workshop includes a view of the technological future via its association with Promise Innovation who are guiding the QLM standard through The Open Group. |
The concepts that underpin QLM will have a far-reaching impact on the way that through-lifecycle PLM can be made more comprehensive and accurate, increasing the ability to manage the product once it has "gone out of the door".
If you were not able to go to Sweden or Germany then the Milan Workshop is an opportunity to catch up with the series. Participants in Milan will also receive the Summary Documents from Gothenburg and Munich, and those of future workshops during the year. The results will also be published as part of PLMIG membership via the forthcoming issues of the PLM Journal. The events are completely open, so you can go to any one in the series, whether you are a user, vendor, service provider or academic. Choose the workshop that is most convenient for travel, or most convenient for your diary. To find out more information or to register, contact standards@plmig.com.
Roger Tempest is co-founder of the PLMIG. Membership of the PLMIG is available via membership@plmig.com. |
