September 28, 2006 How (not) to Ruin a Deliverables-Based PLM Process
In a recent cross-industry study of PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) best practices, 74% of the companies surveyed said that they had a formal PLM process in place. However, nearly half of them said that their processes weren’t really being used. This disparity between process implementation and process adoption is particularly remarkable given that a growing number of today’s businesses are dependent upon innovation and new product success for their business future. This session will examine why so many companies attempting to deploy process frameworks for product development either have limited success or fail. It will look at how even the best-designed system can be undermined by factors ranging from unfavorable corporate culture and lack of visible management support to inadequate tools and lack of alignment with business strategy. The presentation will feature case examples of companies that have successfully implemented a deliverables-based PLM process, the challenges these companies faced, and the critical factors that enabled them to establish a process framework that consistently delivers substantial, measurable business benefit.
