PLM Interest Group

The PLM Interest Group provides neutral tools, expert knowledge, managed programmes and leadership to raise the performance of PLM.

The PLMIG is leading the Initiative to establish an internationally-recognised Professional Body for the PLM industry, running throughout 2025.

The professionalism theme has generated a new project that enables user companies to jointly resolve their most long-standing problems.

Over the past 20 years the PLMIG has run a wide range of initiatives which have established many of the core principles and techniques of PLM.

You can find the tools and methodologies under PLM Improvement.

Many PLMIG techniques have raised the horizons of PLM and enable solutions and outcomes that were not previously thought possible.

You can browse these and compare them to your current thinking under Advanced Thought.

The PLM 2025-35 Project also enables vendors, integrators, consultants, academics and educators to collaborate with users on a Body of Knowledge.

This could produce a new global model for best practice and right-first-time PLM.
