Welcome to the PLMIG

The PLM Interest Group has developed the most comprehensive and advanced set of neutral working methodologies for PLM.

The PLMIG runs a wide range of initiatives and workshop series that generate the PLM knowledge that is built into these toolsets.

There is also an extensive back catalogue of web and journal articles covering the concepts and ideas that affect the world of the PLM practitioner.

The latest developments in PLMIG initiatives, including the 2024 Programme for Class A PLM, and the Professional PLM Initiative.

PLMIG toolsets cover the main areas of activity of the PLM Team. They can be applied by user companies to improve their implementations, or by integrators and consultants to assist their clients.

In its 14 years of existence the PLM Interest Group has covered a huge range of PLM themes and issues, either through its initiatives or in the pages of the PLM Journal. Find them here.

If PLM is to generate a financial benefit for the business, then the PLM Team must always work within that mindset. If you want to achieve the full potential of PLM, then you have to aim high.

To demystify PLM, there are 8 "must know" things that a good PLM Manager should provide. These should be part of every well-managed PLM implementation. Make sure they are part of your company's awareness material.

The PLM industry is under threat, as vendors move to new markets and IoT draws more and more attention. The PLMIG ran debates in 2017 on the current state of PLM, and what might be the Vision for the future.

For many years PLM has been regarded as 'unquantifiable', but there is now a simple and powerful message that justifies the PLM spend. The approach can be applied to suit the particular cost drivers in the USA.

If you can demonstrate and measure the inter-relationship between PLM and the business, then you are at a very advanced level of PLM management.

The PLMIG is continually raising new ideas, running discussions, and influencing PLM opinion towards a more advanced train of thought. The collection of articles in 2PLM e-zine from 2009 to 2017 provides a long list of thought-provoking ideas.

There are contact email addresses on all of the main pages, so it is easy to ask questions that relate to the subject you are interested in. There is also a Contact Page.
