“…The comparison framework as described in Chapter 3 is applied to a variety of maturity models in the PLM area, including the PLM framework proposed by Batenburg et al [2], the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), Version 1.3, by the CMMI Institute [13, 14], the Configuration Management Maturity Model by Niknam et al [9], the EDEN Maturity Model by the BPM Maturity Model eden e.V. (all information translated from German) [1], the addition of a customer dimension of PLM maturity based on Batenburg's model by Kärkkäinen et al [5], the Knowledge Management Capability Assessment Model by Kulkarni et al [6], the PLM Maturity Reference Model by PLM Interest Group [10] the Product lifecycle management model by Saaksvuori et al [11], the PLM Maturity Model by Savino et al [12], and the PLM Components Maturity Assessment by Zhang et al [17].…”

“…PLM can rather be considered a concept than a system due to its focus on maintaining sustainable market advantage by addressing flexibility and innovation. [2] This concept can be considered as a combination of business rules, processes, methods, and guidelines including descriptions for the practical implementation. [11] The concept of PLM is very powerful as mentioned benefits include shorter time-to-market, increased innovative ability and profits, fewer engineering changes late in the lifecycle, higher efficiency, and less product faults.…”

“…[11] The concept of PLM is very powerful as mentioned benefits include shorter time-to-market, increased innovative ability and profits, fewer engineering changes late in the lifecycle, higher efficiency, and less product faults. [15] Other drivers for the use of PLM consider the demand of more complex products with regard to functionality and components, shorter product lifecycles, customization options because of higher demand standards, management of eventually more complex supply chains, as well as factoring in the increasing regulations concerning safety and environmental issues as mentioned by Batenburg et al [2].…”

Abstract. Throughout the recent years research about maturity models as well as their application possibilities has vastly increased in all sorts of organizations and institutions. The range of the topics they address has expanded as much as the way they can be structured and applied. One area, where the use of maturity models can have a great impact, is product lifecycle management (PLM). PLM is becoming more and more essential for companies as a way of staying competitive on any market due to enhanced understanding of complex processes and increased efficiency in the use of information throughout all stages of the lifecycle. In this regard, maturity models can be beneficial as methods to assess the organizations' product lifecycle processes, illustrate improvement opportunities and even customize a roadmap to exploit them. However, considering the complex application options of maturity models, it can be difficult to choose an appropriate model for a certain purpose. This paper will provide a comparison framework for maturity models in the PLM area. The collected attributes as well as their categorized comparison shall provide guidance in choosing the correct maturity model depending on the user requirements.

Abstract.A study focusing on the three factors of product lifecycle management (PLM) is being presented. The selected factors are maturity of adoption, systems' architectures and product lifecycle (PLC) related businesses. The research material comes from six globally operating companies. The applied data collection method is the synthesis of interviews, benchmarking, and peerreviewing the case companies. The material is analyzed with the application of comparative case study method. Modern PLM systems manage the data of fixed product items and the configuration knowledge of product families. Thus, companies with the most mature PLM approach are able to enhance the product configuration oriented business processes with legacy PLM architectures. Most of the studied companies are transforming their to single source architecture. This may be a challenge for some of the businesses. Another challenge is the increasing share of service related PLC businesses, which is also supported by the most mature PLM approaches. IntroductionProduct lifecycle management (PLM) was being studied through the analysis of six industrial cases. The focused factors of PLM were the maturity of PLM, business types and PLM systems' architectures. Motivation was to find out the potential combinations of factors in the above. The research questions of the paper are: what kind of business processes are the main customers of PLM, how mature is the PLM approach and what kind of changes are taking place in PLM architectures of case companies? The paper continues with literature review, which substantiates the research approach and outlines the details of the factors, which serve as a means of analysis. The research method is outlined and results presented. The conclusions summarize the findings, estimate the effects of the changes in the architectures of PLM systems and compare the aspired situation with the overall diversity of business processes taking place in the case companies. 2Three PLM Factors: Maturity, Business and Systems Architecture PLM is the activity of managing products effectively across their lifecycle [Stark 2004] or a strategic business approach, which applies business solutions, collaborative

PLM in SME, What Are We Missing? An Alternative View on PLM Implementation for SME

Today, the concept of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is widely accepted as strategically important. It is used to manage the increasing complexity of products, processes and organizations. The need to adopt PLM is growing rapidly for Small to Medium-sized Enterprises (SME). PLM implementations are costly and require a lot of effort. The business impact and financial risks are high for SME. Also, SMEs seem to have relatively more difficulties to benefit from PLM. The study at hand addresses the question, based on literature research, why these difficulties exist and how they can be overcome. To answer that question, three sub questions are discussed in this paper. 1) A generic PLM implementation process structure. 2) A list of identified PLM implementation challenges, specific for SME. 3) A classification of PLM research for SME, related to the common PLM implementation process structure. A hypothesis for a PLM implementation failure mechanism in SMEs is formulated, based on the findings. Also, a potential research gap on operational implementation knowledge in SMEs is identified.
