PLM Action and Activities

This chapter addresses the actions that companies frequently undertake when implementing their Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Implementation Strategy. Once the PLM Implementation Strategy and Plan have been agreed, the planned activities can be started. The Implementation Strategies and Plans of different companies will be very different, due to the companies’ different current and desired future situations. However, there is often some similarity in the resulting activities. This chapter describes some of the questions that may arise when implementing the plan. Recommendations are given for project managers. Examples are given of frequently occurring activities.
