3.  Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the
process of managing the entire lifecycle of a
product from its conception, through design
and manufacture, to service and disposal.
 PLM integrates people, data, processes and
business systems and provides a product
information backbone for companies and
their extended enterprise.

4.  Product lifecycle management (PLM) should
be distinguished from 'Product life cycle
management (marketing)' (PLCM).
 PLM describes the engineering aspect of a
product, from managing descriptions and
properties of a product through its
development and useful life; whereas, PLCM
refers to the commercial management of life
of a product in the business market with
respect to costs and sales .

5.  In this diagram, provided by Machine Design, the enterprise
"360 degree" PLM system is depicted as a central data
repository, tying together departments in an enterprise to
drive product development and allowing for collaboration
over the network.

6.  Reduced time to market.
 Improved product quality.
 Ability to quickly identify potential sales
opportunities and revenue contributions.
 A framework for product optimization.
 Reduced waste.
 Ability to provide contract
manufacturers with access to a
centralized product record.

7.  Product lifecycle management is one of the four
cornerstones of a corporation's information
technology structure.
 All companies need to manage communications
and information with their customers (CRM-
customer relationship management, their
suppliers (SCM-supply chain management), their
resources within the enterprise (ERP-enterprise
resource planning) and their planning (SDLC-
systems development life cycle).

"who, what, when, why, how, at what cost"
history of product data.
 PLM ensures that only the correct parts are
ordered, produced and assembled according
to valid & approved documentation.
