Product Lifecycle Management: 21st Century Paradigm for Product Realisation
by John StarkProduct Lifecycle Management (2nd edition) explains what Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is, and why it's needed. It describes the environment in which products are developed, realised and supported, before looking at the basic components of PLM, such as the product, processes, applications, and people. The final part addresses the implementation of PLM, showing the steps of a project or initiative, and typical activities. This new and expanded edition of Product Lifecycle Management is fully updated to reflect the many advances made in PLM since the release of the first edition. It includes descriptions of PLM technologies and examples of implementation projects in industry. Product Lifecycle Management will broaden the reader's understanding of PLM, nurturing the skills needed to implement PLM successfully and to achieve world-class product performance across the lifecycle. "A 20-year veteran of PLM, I highly recommend this book. A clear and complete overview of PLM from definition to implementation. Everything is there - reasons, resources, strategy, implementation and PLM project management." Achim Heilmann, Manager, Global Technical Publications, Varian Medical Systems "Product Lifecycle Management is an important technology for European industry.

Product Lifecycle Management: Increasing the Value of PLM with Innovative New Technologies (Decision Engineering)
by John StarkThis book is about the relationship between Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and new technologies that have emerged in the early years of the twenty-first century. The technologies addressed include the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital Thread, Digital Twins, Big Data, digital transformation, sustainable products, and Systems Engineering.Product Lifecycle Management is the business activity of managing, in the most effective way, a company’s products all the way across their lifecycles—from the very first idea for a product all the way through until it is retired and disposed of. PLM is a key technology for all manufacturing and engineering companies as it manages their products from Ideation, through Definition, Realisation, and Use to Retirement. The basics of PLM have been addressed in previous volumes in this series. Due to its wide span across a company, PLM has many interactions with other key technologies and systems. This Volume 6 of Product Lifecycle Management looks at the relationship of PLM to other technologies and strategies that have emerged in the twenty-first century and are used by manufacturing companies. The book also includes chapters addressing PLM education in different industry sectors such as mechanical engineering and electronic engineering.
Product Lifecycle Management: PLM and Digital Twins (Decision Engineering)
by John StarkThis volume addresses the convergence of three technologies that emerged in the early 21st century: Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Digital Twins. These are available to all manufacturing companies as their products go through the product lifecycle. This starts with Ideation, continues through Definition, Realisation and Use/Support, and ends with Retirement/Disposal. This book is the 7th volume in a series that started in 2004 with the publication of ‘Product Lifecycle Management: 21st Century Paradigm for Product Realisation’, which has become a seminal book on PLM. The first chapters of the book address the fundamentals of PLM, the IoT and Digital Twins, highlighting their value and benefits. The following chapters look at applications and advantages resulting from the convergence of the three technologies in specific phases of the product lifecycle. Digital Twin applications in these phases include decision support, design iteration acceleration, predictive analytics and maintenance, product and process documentation, product upgrades, product and manufacturing process simulation, quality assurance, remote monitoring and troubleshooting, remote sales, training, virtual prototyping, and virtual showrooms. The final chapter addresses the implementation of an integrated PLM and Digital Twin environment. The book gives the reader a broad understanding, valuable insights, and practical guidance about three important technologies and the way they are converging and evolving together. It will stimulate innovation, propel companies forward, and motivate them to succeed in an increasingly digitally connected product world.
Product Lifecycle Management: The Devil is in the Details (Decision Engineering)
by John StarkThis book moves beyond a general introduction to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and its basic elements to provide a more in-depth analysis of the subjects introduced in Volume 1 (Product Lifecycle Management: 21st Century Paradigm for Product Realisation). After providing insights into the emergence of PLM and the opportunities that it offers, key concepts such as the PLM Grid and the PLM Paradigm are introduced along with the 10 main components of PLM: objectives and metrics; management and organization; business processes; people; product data; PDM systems; other PLM applications; facilities and equipment; methods; and products. The book provides industry examples and best practices. This new edition updates the previous edition of this book, reflecting the growth of PLM over the past decade of business and technological change. It concludes by showing readers how to implement and use PLM successfully. It outlines the phases of a PLM Initiative: development of PLM vision and strategy; documentation of the current situation; description of future scenarios; development of implementation strategies and plans taking account of the need for Organisational Change Management; implementation and use. The main activities, tasks, methods, timing, and tools of the different phases of implementation are described. John Stark started working in product development in 1979. In the 1980s and 1990s, he worked in Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM), Engineering Data Management (EDM), Product Data Management (PDM), and Business Process Improvement. He has worked as a PLM consultant since 2001, and has experience with more than 100 companies in 20 countries across a range of manufacturing industry sectors. His PLM courses are taken throughout the world.
Product Lifecycle Management: What Happens Across the Product Lifecycle? (Decision Engineering)
by John StarkThis book explains ‘what goes on in a manufacturing company as a product goes through its lifecycle’. It describes more than 70 product-related activities that take place during the product lifecycle phases of ideation, development, production, service, and recycling. The various documents, data, working methods, and computer programs used in each activity are outlined. The book tells the story of a project carried out by a Master’s degree student in a manufacturing company to find out for the CEO exactly what happens with products across their lifecycle. Due to the storytelling approach of the book, the reader will learn, as if they are present in the company, about the activities that take place along the product lifecycle. They will see how the company is organized, what data and documents are created and used in each activity, and which applications are being used. They will see, from the interviews carried out by the student, what people are doing, the difficulties they face, and the improvement opportunities they see. This will give them a good understanding of the various activities that take place, and provide a basis for improving performance and implementing new processes and applications.
