  1. Product Life Cycle Management The Future of Production Systems

  2. PLM • Product Life Cycle Management is a total production system that tracks a product from inception to disposal • It includes, marketing, sales, design, planning, production, quality requirements, packaging, shipping, and disposing of the product when it’s useful life is over

  3. The Scope of PLM Product Lifecycle Plus the engineering business systems to make the process work with the rest of the company

  4. Where did PLM come from? • Originally the term was used to describe the computer technology needed by auto makers and their suppliers to store information about vehicle parts, engineering data, design data, quality, etc.

  5. The Benefit of PLM • It is a common production system, with common computer technology for information storage and retrieval. In theory any employee, in any department can look at data created by another department or group. The information is archived and valid for the life of the product

  6. The Benefit of PLM • It is a concept that should induce ethical behavior in terms of up graded products and hopefully will drive social responsibility in the areas of innovation, design, manufacturing, quality, and disposal

  7. PLM & Leadership • PLM or PLC provides a framework to rediscover the basic stages of product development, 1. Introduction. 2. Growth. 3. maturity. 4. decline • In general the leader must influence all team members to attain goals, always being sensitive to members needs

  8. PLM & Leadership • In the growth stage the leader needs to know how to communicate and delegate responsibility to team members • In the maturity stage the leader and group usually struggle to maintain cohesiveness and productivity • In decline the leader needs to maintain team motivation

  9. PLM & Leadership • Facilitation, communication, goal setting, project management, building consensus, organization, resource allocation, motivation, team building are a few of the LEADERSHIP skills necessary to drive a successful PLM initiative • To quote a Boeing executive, “as we engineer new systems we always forget about the necessary leadership skills” • We are good at doing the task, not so good at the process of getting there
