This document describes the PLM4all approach for product lifecycle management aimed at small and medium enterprises. PLM4all uses a simplified and flexible methodology supported by an IT platform to manage all phases of the product lifecycle from ideation through end of life. Key features include lean thinking principles, templates to support lifecycle activities, integration with CAD and ERP systems, and a low total cost of ownership suitable for SMEs. The goal is to provide a standardized yet customizable solution to overcome obstacles preventing wider PLM adoption among smaller companies.

Introduction Mechatronic Equipment Lifecycle • With the advent of the “information age”, the sophistication of mechatronic equipment has increased exponentially. • Full life cycle management of mechatronic equipment has become very complex: – large amount of components and systems involved – high number of agents that interact with the product. Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field of engineering that includes a combination of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, telecommunications engineering, control engineering and computer engineering en.wikipedia.org Euler diagram for Mechatronics Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, MIT

- 7. FAIM 2015 23-26 June ∙ University of Wolverhampton 1. Introduction PLM Utilization Obstacles in SME • PLM implementation is not generalised and not always lead to the expected results: – PLM solutions tend to have a very high total cost ownership , which is difficult for SMEs to support. – They require very thorough processes structuring and information organization. – Are complex to use and demand for high degree of expertise.
- 8. FAIM 2015 23-26 June ∙ University of Wolverhampton 2. PLM4all Approach and Concept PLM4all Characterization • The PLM4all solution encompasses a range of methodologies and an IT platform dedicated to product lifecycle management: – The methodologies cover all the fundamental phases of product life cycle – Ideation, Design and Development, Manufacturing, Maintenance, Retrofitting and End of Life – and embrace a lean thinking approach focused on the critical needs of SMEs articulated with a reduced cost mind-set. – The IT platform includes modules for information management, collaborative processes and activities management, interoperability with CAD and ERP systems and knowledge management.

- 30. FAIM 2015 23-26 June ∙ University of Wolverhampton 3. Conclusions • The use of ICT in SMEs is critical as they bring a myriad of benefits in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, growth, innovation and competitive advantages. • Despite the potential of ICTs, there is a low diffusion of structured ICTs in SME since these solutions tend to require a high initial investment, skilled staff, a coherent business strategy and training. • Therefore, the need to develop low cost and user-friendly PLM tools that are able to attend to SMEs operational demands is insurgent. • PLM4all’s innovative characteristics, combined with the conciliation of low possession cost software with ground features of a PLM platform, provide PLM4all with an extremely high degree of flexibility, low cost and facilitated utilization, being a highly suited solution for SMEs.
