PLM Vision 2016 - published

PLM in general is in a very interesting phase. The concept itself is much widely and deeply understood on a  global  scale.  Its  potential  in  business  development  is  shared  and  recognized  by  the  business management far better than 3-5 years ago. Manufacturing business PLM in most western economies has reached a mature phase in its evolution, some may call it PLM1.0. Most of large, multinational, frontline manufacturing  (incl.  also  electronics  manufacturing,  pharmaceutical  etc.)  corporations  have  structured PLM  processes  and  a  supporting  PLM  IT-system  implemented  -  at  least  to  certain  parts  of  the organization.
  
In  five  years,  by  2016  PLM  will  evolve  significantly  and  break  through  to  new  domains  with  in  a corporation,  such  as  to  executive  decision  making,  innovation  and  customer  involvement,  full  lifecycle support,  not only  product  definition lifecycle. By  2016 PLM  also  will  increase its footprint  in the service industry  and  break  to  new  domains;  SME  field,  utilities,  construction,  fashion  and  footwear  businesses  and to process, food and consumer packaged goods businesses.  

If  you  find  these  issues  interesting,  I  have  discussed  them  in  a  vision  paper  -  PLM  vision  2016  and beyond.  In  this  paper  (37  pages)  I  present  my  vision  on  what  PLM  could  be  in  2016.  The  paper  is  an outlook  estimation,  not  a  scientific  study.  The  contents  is  based  on  my  15  year  PDM/PLM  experience, 40+ PLM related projects and assignments for 30+ customer companies producing products (services) of different  type.  Academic  collaboration,  numerous  seminars  and  events,  discussions  and  contacts  with PLM experts all over the globe have also influenced the contents. Both recent academic and commercial research support my views.
