Oxford, England. February 03, 2015 -- In 2014 the PLMIG successfully completed the Financial Framework initiative to produce a neutral methology for quantifying the financial benefits of PLM. The programme for 2015 is therefore built around the theme:- "Actively Improve Your PLM".

 

Everyone who joins the PLMIG receives the PLM Project Justification Handbook and its associated toolset. This enables the PLM Team to produce detailed metrics that can be approved by the Board and measured for eventual success.

 

As members apply the toolset to generate a working set of financial metrics, a quantified picture of their 'As-Is' PLM situation is created. This makes it clear where improvements can be made, and the metrics can be re-measured at the end of the year to show the progress that has been made.

 

Because the PLMIG 2015 programme is interactive, lessons about where PLM can be most effective can be shared, increasing the neutral body of knowledge about the Benefits of PLM. As this interaction continues into the future, PLM as a whole can be actively improved.

 

Full details of the programme are available on the PLMIG web site, and membership for 2015 is now open.
