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. Check .com
|
|
The Initiative covers the whole spectrum of what it means to be 'professional' in PLM.
Bringing this together is a significant step forward, and will change the way that PLM practitioners work.
|
|
The Initiative is inclusive and interactive. This web site shows the latest developments, and how you can get involved.

PLM as a Profession
|
The Professional PLM 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.

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.

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

|
Deliverables
|
|
|
This will be a huge area of rediscovery for PLM practitioners - to see in writing the full set of skills and expertise that
they should possess.
