  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.

 
       
 
 

 

The basic steps in quantifying the strengths and weaknesses of a PLM implementation are to carry out a Self-Assessment; to Benchmark internally or externally to make practical comparisons; and to assess Maturity as a means of measuring progress.

 
 
 

 

It is now possible to quantify every aspect of a new PLM implementation, and to get your vendor or supplier to commit to achieving the agreed results.  Read about PLM Delivery, and see the tools that enable you to do this.

 
 
 

 

The PLMIG offers the most advanced neutral toolset for establishing an effective, integrated corporate PLM and ERP environment.  The central Handbook is supported by a Primer and two essential technical manuals.

 
 
       
 
 

 

When you become a PLM Manager, or bring a new person onto the PLM Team, there are certain things you need to learn.  These tools cover some of the fundamentals.

 
 
 

 

PLM must manage the design evolution, including software - but software is managed in ALM.  It is important to understand the logic that binds them.  The PLM-SCM Guidebook explains why PLM and ALM are fundamentally different, and how to bridge the gap.

 
 
 

 

Small and medium-sized businesses do not need a stripped down 'PLM Lite'.  They need to apply a completely different and focused approach to PLM.  The PLMIG Handbook explains the principles and provides instructions in a clear and logical way.
