Agenda:
What's PDM and PLM Got To Do With Me?
What is PDM or PLM? Why do we need to know about it? " I'm an Engineer. I don't do Data Management....."
Is this what you really think? If it is, you are not alone. My goal during our time together is to give a different perspective on why managing your data and using a PLM tool actually makes sense to a designer/engineer. At the least, our time together will be a good forum to discuss the pro's and con's of Product life cycle management (PLM) and to bat around some new ideas related to the subject.
By definition a PLM system is used for managing and disseminating product data throughout your entire company, from concept to end of life. PLM technologies have been around for a number of years and the concept seems straightforward, but in fact it means different things to different people and that is what we want to discuss. This is session open to Designers, Engineers, CAD Administrators, Engineering Managers and IT professionals.
