PLMIG Moves Forward in Next Round of Workshops
August 3, 2012
In an effort to standardize product lifecycle management (PLM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) the PLM Interest Group (PLMIG) was formed in 2004. Their goal from the beginning has been to create a global set of standards and best practices. A recent MCAD Café article, “PLMIG asks for help in timing the North American PLM-ERP Workshop”, announced the latest series of workshops planned by the group. The first two sessions will be in Europe and then the results of those will be examined in the United States.
The article explains of the workshops:
“The workshops will give PLM and ERP specialists the chance to work together to formalise best practices and to generate a neutral, globally-applicable PLM-ERP Handbook. Each workshop will produce a new version of the Handbook, building on the previous results, and everyone who participates in a workshop will receive the results of the whole series.”
The PLM industry is growing faster than most can follow allowing for confusion and inefficiency, two conditions PLM strives to eliminate. As new data management solutions emerge and technology advances, cloud technology in particular, PLM standards must be constantly checked and adjusted. Leaders in the industry, like Dassault, Inforbix and PTC, continue to expand their offerings furthering the industry helping the PLM IG fine-tune best practices.
