PLM and Literature review Standard ICT Process 4
PLM Definitions PLM is an integrated approach including a consistent set of methods, models and IT tools for managing product information, engineering processes and applications along the different phases of the product lifecycle. PLM addresses not only one company but a globally distributed, interdisciplinary collaboration between producers, suppliers, partners and customers (Abramovici, 2005) . For the analyst (CIMdata) , PLM is defined as: “a strategic business approach that applies a consistent set of business solutions in support of the collaborative creation, management, dissemination, and use of product definition information across the extended enterprise from concept to end of life – integrating people, processes, business systems, and information. ” (IBM) defines PLM as “… a strategic approach to creating and managing a company's product-related intellectual capital, from its initial conception to retirement ” For the PLM Interest Group (PLMIG) , PLM includes research, management of customer requirements, product development CAD, CAM, simulation, rapid prototyping and virtual concurrent engineering, product / process design, sourcing of components, machining digital control, collaboration via the web with customers and suppliers. PDM is the IT Platform for PLM, the terms 'PLM System' and 'PDM System' mean the same thing, and are interchangeable 5 CAD’15 – London

OEM Industrial Needs LE CESI : ENSEIGNEMENT SUPERIEUR ET FORMATION CAD’15 – London PROFESSIONNELLE
OEM Industrial Investigation The investigation covered the three specific areas of: Employee Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing Product Lifecycle Management and ICT Tools Maintenance, Servicing and Testing Methodology employed: Informal individual audio-recorded face to face interviews: 60 - 90 minutes 17 employees, inc. Plant Manager, Manufacturing Engineers and Production Line Team Interview panel of 3 Standardised 7-part questionnaire with a mix of open and closed questions Audio transcriptions of interviews for analysis purposes Aim: To identify organisational practices and challenges in relation to the 3 subject areas Essop, I.A., Evans, R.D., Giddaluru, M.P., Wan, S., Gao, J.X., Baudry, D., Mahdikhah, S. and Messaadia, M. 2015. An Investigation into Current Industrial Practices relating to Product Lifecycle Management in the Manufacturing Industry. Computer-Aided Design and Applications. 17 CAD’15 – London
Investigation results Results relating to PLM include… Product information traceability and Integration issues CAD PDM PLM Cross functional Data Sharing between different business units Common standards issues Change management Supplier integration Part numbers not consistent between legacy and current systems – prone to error 18 CAD’15 – London
Investigation results Results relating to Maintenance include… No current methods to capture the degradation of the equipment Decisions made dependent on engineers’ experience – not by decision support system Limited knowledge sharing between manufacturing and assembly line Results relating to KM include… E-mail used as preferred communication method – relied on too much Face to face collaboration is encouraged to speed-up communication Provides opportunity to listen and ask questions • Difficult to get everybody involved in a project together at the same time • Face to face and telephone communication relied upon for supplier collaboration Builds trust – get to know suppliers on a personal level • Project Teams can create and manage their own intranet sites – ‘Team Rooms’ 19 CAD’15 – London
