What is PLM?

"PLM ( Product Lifecycle Management) is a strategic business approach that applies a consistent set of business solutions in support of the collaborative creation, management, dissemination, and use of product and plant definition information across the extended enterprise from concept to end of life-integrating people, processes, business systems, and information. PLM creates and manages the digital product or plant and provides an information backbone for a company and its extended enterprise."


It is not very difficult to understand PLM. As the name itself says, its all about the lifecycle of a product. PLM is like a book which consists the story of a product's life to death information. In an industry it is the process of supervising the entire lifecyle of a product from its abstract idea, design, production, and service to disposal.

How does the PLM work and what are its major benefits?

It is like a company which gives a 'Head Line' and the techies will develop a 'Story' for it. In the same way if a company gives a concept of a product and the PLM team works on it, they research, they advise, they design the product, they prepare modules, they help you debug errors and they also help you dispose the product.

As far as the benefits of the PLM are concerned,
  • It saves Time
  • Cost of production is cheap.
  • PLM Enures Product Quality
  • Satisfaction
  • Generates Revenue
