Creating a Profession for PLM Practitioners
 
 

The Home of Professional PLM

The PLM industry needs a recognised, worldwide profession for the people who work within it.  The Professional PLM Initiative has been set up to fulfil this need.

 

 

The Initiative aims to establish a professional structure within the PLM industry that will support its practitioners, and the discipline of PLM itself, in line with evolving methods and technologies.

 

 

PLM practitioners will continue to be undervalued until the work that they do is made clear to the rest of the business world. Forming a single, global PLM Profession is the way to make this happen.

 
 
  PLM as a Profession

 

  
 
  Mission



 

The Mission of the Initiative is to raise PLM onto the same level as existing professions, by bringing together PLM practitioners from around the world to form a single, global Professional Body that will support and maintain the discipline into the long-term future.

 

 

The drive to form a specific profession for PLM will not only raise profile and awareness amongst other disciplines, but will have the effect of expanding and integrating the worldwide PLM industry.

 

As the Initiative reaches through the world's manufacturing countries it will spread good practice and cross-fertilise ideas.  This can be leveraged by participants to actively enhance the direction, growth and adoption of PLM.

 
 
  White Paper

 

The Industry White Paper is now complete.  It describes the creation of a neutral PLM Body of Knowledge, and presents a clear Position Statement about what the PLM industry should do next.

 

The White Paper sets out the definitive rationale of the need for and benefits of a recognised PLM Profession.  It is a blueprint for the development of the industry, and a starting point for the Working Group.
