Papers are sought for PDT Europe 2007 Geneva, Switzerland 24th - 26th of September on how to establish, implement and support the continuous transformation of PLM. PLM is often describing the "classic" challenges around mechanical products including calculations, design and manufacturing.
Looking at the Big Picture requires us also to include additional stages in the product life cycle such as requirements and product support. A vital component in product support/after-sales is technical documentation; so papers covering Technical Documentation in a PLM context are welcome.
The Big Picture PLM must take into account the impact of the increased content of software in almost any product. Defence systems, cars, telecom systems, aircraft etc move more and more in the direction of software with all its issues around configuration management. Managing software in the PLM context is increasingly important and papers about this are welcome.
Systems Engineering is very much about the Big Picture. Papers on Systems Engineering in the PLM context are welcome.
Besides learning about new technologies, there is a much increased need to learn how to manage PLM to get the return on investments and in parallel continue along the route towards the lean and agile enterprise.
