PLM: PLM International Research Foundation

By Dick Weisinger

Product lifecycle management (PLM) is the process of managing the complete lifecycle of a product.  The PLM lifecycle includes the steps of design, manufacture, service and disposal of the product.

In 2004, the global industry group for PLM practitioners, known as the PLM Interest Group (PLMIG) was formed.  The group sponsors workshops in Europe and the US so that PLM subject matter and best practices can be communicated.

In June 2014, a proposal was developed by PLMIG to create the PLM International Research Foundation (PLM-IRF).  The foundation will be tasked with working with industrial companies and academic and research organizations to collaborate on improving and advancing PLM techniques.
