| What is PLM? Product Lifestyle Management (PLM) is an integrated information-driven approach to all aspects of a product's life, from its conceptual 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 fragmented and distributed environment. Another definition of PLM is the integration of business systems to manage ... |

|
| The US Army Tank Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) supports combat and tactical vehicles for the Department of Defense. It is becoming increasingly important for the Army to acquire spare parts for existing vehicles cost effectively. New vehicle systems such as the Future Combat System must be developed in shorter time frames incorporating the very latest technologies available and using the latest modeling and simulation tools. Reusing valuable legacy data ... |
