 Product life cycle management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georgia Institute of Technology's Product and Systems Lifecycle Management (PSLM) Center
Product Life Cycle Management is the succession of strategies used by management as a product goes through its life cycle.
Day, G. (1981) The product life cycle: Analysis and applications issues, Journal of Marketing, vol 45, Autumn 1981, pp 60-67.

 Understanding Product Data Management
Data management systems should be able to manage both attribute and documentary product data, as well as relationships between them, through a relational database system.
But project history management is also important to allow you to 'back-track' to specific points in a project's development where a problem arose, or from which you may wish to now start a new line of development.
A PDM system offers a solution by acting as the engineer's working environment, meticulously capturing all new and changed data as it is generated, maintaining a record of which version it is, recalling it on demand and effectively keeping track of the engineer's every move.

 What is Product Data Management?
The heart of this system is a software Configuration and Data Management (CM/DM) tool which, in conjunction with third party tools (image file view/markup tools, file format conversion tools), provides the functionality required to implement and integrate the PDM system within any given business, government agency or other environment.
I'm using the term PDM to refer to a system used to capture and control product data in an electronic format and to make those data available to all who need to use or observe them.
This includes capture and control of design data (native CAD and neutral files), quality assurance data, manufacturing data, and any other data that would be needed to design, test, build, modify, deliver, and maintain a product (either hardware or software).

 There's a New App in Town - Product Lifecycle Management - PLM software suites for manufacturing companies; CIO roles of chief architect and change agent for PLM; Whether your company needs PLM - CIO Magazine May 15,2003
Product lifecycle management is an integrated, information-driven approach to all aspects of a product's life, from its design through manufacture, deployment and maintenance—culminating in the product's removal from service and final disposal.
PLM software suites enable accessing, updating, manipulating and reasoning about product information that is being produced in a fragmented and distributed environment.
PLM is not so much a system as a strategy—for integrating and sharing information about products between applications and among different constituencies, such as engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, marketing and aftermarket support.

Rules-driven Product Management (RPM) is enterprise software that allows discrete manufacturers to respond to customer-specific orders more rapidly, accurately and cost-effectively by complementing your current PLM software solutions.
Since product content is typically copied from the product development system and pasted into separate documents, defeating the benefits of maintaining a single source of information, technical publishing entails multiple redundant processes.
According to CIMdata, RPM exists within the PLM architecture as an essential solution to capture and manage access to your historical product definition knowledge base—information not typically captured by CAD and other software components of current PLM environments.

Collaborative management of the product definition lifecycle throughout the extended enterprise (i.e., enterprise wide and throughout the supply chain) is the next step in enterprise computing for industrial organizations seeking to improve their competitiveness.
Management of the product definition lifecycle and its close integration with other major lifecycles is not a new concept.
Originally in the mid-1980’s, PDM was focused on solving the problems of CAD file management by providing a good vaulting function, and was typically limited in scope to an engineering department or group.

Not to CONSOL Energy Inc. The Liberty, Pa.-based concern, the nation’s largest producer of cleaner-burning bituminous coal, relied heavily on product lifecycle management in building a new coal-processing plant at its McElroy mine near Moundsville, W. Va. PLM was the key to designing a complex network of piping for moving the coal.
Even in its more traditional uses, PLM can realize huge benefits for users, claims Stas Tarchalski, director of global strategy with IBM PLM in White Plains, N.Y. Users can dramatically reduce the number of components used in the design, manufacture and introduction of new products.
It managed to design, develop and launch into production a switch which allows for expandable network connectivity and data storage — all in the course of four months.
