The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Product Lifecycle Management specific requirements:

STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...


• The latest quick edition of the Product Lifecycle Management Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.


Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…


• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation


Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 999 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Product Lifecycle Management improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 999 standard requirements:


1. How will the integration of AR and VR technologies with PLM enhance the collaboration and communication between cross-functional teams involved in product development, and what specific benefits can be expected from this enhanced collaboration?
   
   

2. In what ways will the PLM system enable the integration of AR and VR technologies with other product development tools and systems, such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)?
   
   

3. How will the PLM system's integration with other digital twin platforms and tools support the creation of a more comprehensive and integrated digital twin ecosystem, and what benefits will this bring to product development and innovation?
   
   

4. In what ways will the PLM system's support for digital twin-based predictive maintenance and quality support the development of more reliable and maintainable products, and what benefits will this bring to product lifecycle management?
   
   

5. How will the organization evaluate the level of integration required with other business systems, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain management (SCM), and customer relationship management (CRM) systems?
   
   

6. What is the current percentage of products that require multiple prototypes or iterations due to design errors or quality issues, and how does the organization expect this percentage to change with the implementation of PLM?
   
   

7. In what ways will the PLM system's support for real-time simulation and modeling support the development of more accurate and realistic digital twins, and what benefits will this bring to product performance and reliability?
   
   

8. In what ways will a PLM system facilitate the use of computer-aided engineering and simulation in product development, and what are the expected benefits from improved product performance and reduced physical prototyping?
   
   

9. In what ways will the PLM system's support for multiple CAD formats and systems support the integration of digital twin data from different sources, and what benefits will this bring to collaboration and interoperability?
   
   

10. How will the PLM system's change and configuration management capabilities help to reduce errors and improve product quality, and what specific change and configuration management features are necessary for this purpose?

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Product Lifecycle Management investments work better.

This Product Lifecycle Management All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
