| Standardisation Starts in Sweden by Roger Tempest |
|
| The global process of formalising the "fog" of PLM into practical, effective standards of PLM best practice will begin in Sweden in May 2011.
The launch workshop, for the Nordic region, will be held at the Novotel Gothenburg on 24-25 May. This will be followed by a workshop for the German region hosted by the Bundeswehr University Munich on 07-08 June. These workshops are the start of a rolling programme that will continue through many countries and become a driving force for PLM improvement. These are not ordinary conference sessions, with an audience looking at a screen. They are compact, boardroom-style meetings where everyone works together as a group, regardless of their organisation or industry position. Each event is a chance to work on problems and best practices for two days in a concentrated, collaborative environment. The two events together will share a common agenda and leverage each other's findings, so that the results you get are twice as powerful. If you think that there are some deep-seated problems with the current PLM scenario, and have invested time and effort in trying to improve them within your organisation, then these workshops will enable you to share these views with your peers. Many companies have established good internal standards, but these are all "islands". If PLM is to be more effective, then we need practical standards that can be applied throughout the extended customer and supply chains, and for this to happen, we need a common voice. |
The series is planned to continue with workshops in the UK and the USA, which will begin to include liaison with existing standards such as PLCS and OSLC, and with industry consortia in Europe and America. Every event generates new knowledge and a wider base of support, and by the end of the year we will have made a fundamental difference to the way that PLM is understood and implemented.
Participants at any workshop get all of the other results from the series, giving them a global picture and, by the end of the year, a completely new toolkit of working standards that address the current problem areas of PLM. 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 how to take part, contact standards@plmig.com.
