Introduction to PLM will provide an overview of the current thinking on the principles, strategies, practices, and applications of Product Lifecycle Management followed by an in-depth look at specific areas of PLM that are the focus of today’s innovative organizations. This course will present both the conceptual underpinnings of PLM, along with the newest industry views on PLM applications. There will be a particular emphasis on initiating PLM projects at the beginning of the lifecycle in engineering and manufacturing and its impact on the rest of the organization. The course will also present frameworks to provide economic justifications for PLM projects and explain the pitfalls of a piecemeal approach to PLM.
