Abstract/
Summary |
Nowadays in the modern global economy, manufacturing companies are facing ever-increasing challenges for short time-to-market, for reduced time-to-volume and for decreased time-to-profit, with strongly impacts on company organization and processes. Product lifecycle management (PLM) is recognized as one of the key leading technologies to facilitate companies to overcome these challenges, which will offer a new way to rapidly plan, organize, manage, measure, and deliver new products or services much faster, better, and cheaper in the extended enterprise. Because of this, PLM initiatives are generally organized with first PLM vision and strategy identification, often with a strong business process reengineering (BPR) changes, to be used for PLM plan definition and implementation. Although first activities related to PLM vision and strategy definition as well as PLM project organization and plan are strongly emphasized, the same doesn’t occur for PLM system implementation activities. Focusing on this aspect, this paper describe a full scenario of technological and methodological strategies for PLM implementation. Starting from state-of-the-art review in the domain related to system development lifecycle (SDLC) and software engineering, complete description of PLM system development, deployment and maintenance activities is done, applying proposed approach to Alenia Aeronautica transformation project: AleNET. |
