Description

In this episode of Stay Sharp in Digital Engineering, we take a fresh look at Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) through a unique lens—breaking it down into its core capabilities and exploring how it can be applied in unexpected ways. What happens when PLM is used beyond its traditional role in product design and manufacturing? Join us as we dive into these unconventional applications and rethink what PLM can really do.

Guest Introduction

Our special guest for this discussion is Steve Nichols, a key member of Razorleaf’s government division. Steve joins hosts Jonathan Scott and Julianne to discuss the broader implications of PLM capabilities and how organizations can leverage them in new and innovative ways.

Most Important Themes

• Beyond Traditional PLM: PLM isn’t just for managing product lifecycles; it’s a collection of capabilities that can solve a variety of business problems.
• Key Capabilities Highlighted: Workflow management, reporting, configuration control, integration, structure management, and more.
• Unexpected Applications: Using PLM for geospatial data management, electronic medical records, identity management, and even historical tracking of complex assets.
• Strategic Thinking: How organizations can break down PLM into modular components and apply them to unique use cases rather than seeing it as a single, all-or-nothing solution.
• Extensibility and Adaptability: How PLM’s flexibility makes it a great tool for industries beyond engineering and manufacturing.
