Abstract:

This article discusses the application of product life-cycle management (PLM) concepts in all types of manufacturing industries. PLM can handle product complexity whether a company designs a few items with many parts or a number of products that need to be localized to many communities around the globe. Fashion-driven industries are using PLM systems in new, idiosyncratic ways, and that means that they cannot simply purchase and implement an existing system the way an engineering company can. In fashion, PLM is used to keep abreast of trends and consolidate designs and inspirations. A study shows that the retail and apparel industries aren’t nearly as focused on product development as engineering companies are. For engineers, PLM is a way to centralize and to focus on product development and innovation. In retail and apparel, PLM is used to manage the supply chain more than product development.

Abstract:

The past three decades have seen phenomenal growth in investments in the area of product lifecycle management (PLM) as companies exploit opportunities in streamlining product lifecycle processes, and fully harnessing their data assets. These processes span all product lifecycle phases from requirements definition, systems design/ analysis, and simulation, detailed design, manufacturing planning, production planning, quality management, customer support, in-service management, and end-of-life recycling. Initiatives ranging from process re-engineering, enterprise-level change management, standardization, globalization and the like have moved PLM processes to mission-critical enterprise systems. Product data representations that encapsulate semantics to support product data exchange and PLM collaboration processes have driven several standards organizations, vendor product development efforts, real-world PLM implementations, and research initiatives. However, the process and deployment dimensions have attracted little attention: The need to optimize organization processes rather than individual benefits poses challenging “culture change management” issues and have derailed many enterprise-scale PLM efforts. Drawn from the authors’ field experiences as PLM system integrators, business process consultants, corporate executives, vendors, and academicians, this paper explores the broad scope of PLM, with an added focus on the implementation and deployment of PLM beyond the development of technology. We review the historical evolution of engineering information management/PLM systems and processes, characterize PLM implementations and solution contexts, and discuss case studies from multiple industries. We conclude with a discussion of research issues motivated by improving PLM adoption in industry.

Abstract:

The PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) is often defined as a set of functions and procedures which allows one to manage and to exploit the data defining at the same time the products and the processes implemented for their developments. However, the installation of a PLM solution remains a difficult exercise taking into account the complexity and the diversity of the customer requirements as well as the transverse utilization of this solution in all the company’s’ functions. The issues faced by both editors and integrators of PLM applications arise from the specific aspect of customers’ projects, even tough most functional needs are often generic. In this paper we are focused on product modeling in PLM applications, more particularly on configuration management that traces product evolutions throughout its lifecycle. we will insist on the links between the configuration needs and the multi-view approach models and we release problems related to PLM applications deployment. Our work concerns the PLM generic solutions based on the concept of generic models. This generic model takes into account the configurations specification associated to the managed product and can be extended to cover specific needs.

Abstract:

Product lifecycle management (PLM) as a holistic process encompasses the idea generation for a product, its conception, and its production, as well as its operating phase. Numerous tools and data models are used throughout this process. In recent years, industry and academia have developed integration concepts to realize efficient PLM across all domains and phases. However, the solutions available in practice need specific interfaces and tend to be vendor dependent. The Asset Administration Shell (AAS) aims to be a standardized digital representation of an asset (e.g., a product). In accordance with its objective, it has the potential to integrate all data generated during the PLM process into one data model and to provide a universally valid interface for all PLM phases. However, to date, there is no holistic concept that demonstrates this potential. The goal of this research work is to develop and validate such an AAS-based concept. This article demonstrates the application of the AAS in an order-controlled production process, including the semi-automatic generation of PLM-related AAS data. Furthermore, it discusses the potential of the AAS as a standard interface providing a smooth data integration throughout the PLM process.

Abstract:

In times products gain in complexity and variety whereby release and development cycles become even shorter, consistent and systematic variant management is essential not only for technical communication but also for the very most processes in PLM. Therefore, system engineering and system configuration themselves must be leading for a centrally managed, reliable variant management for all PLM processes. We depict how enhanced model-based system engineering approach based on product and product component models can be the enabler for variant management in all PLM processes by specific, explicitly deduced views in different stages of the entire Product Lifecycle.

Abstract:

Für die Perspektive der Textiltechnik stellt das Closed-Loop Product Lifecycle Management einen spannenden Ansatz dar, um durch neuartige Technologien in der Datenerfassung und -verwertung sowie der durchgängigen Informationssteuerung die Herausforderungen einer stärkeren Kundenorientierung und einer höheren Nachhaltigkeit in der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette zu bewältigen. Dabei schafft das PLM in Unternehmensnetzwerken eine Plattform für die Effizienz- und Qualitätssteigerung in der Produktion sowie der Entwicklung von Dienstleistungen und Produkten, in die die Erfahrungen aus vorherigen Produktlebenszyklen unmittelbar einfließen. Durch die besonderen Anforderungen der Textilbranche hinsichtlich einer breiten Produktvariation, einer aufwendigen Nachverfolgung einzelner Produkte und der hochfragmentierten Produktionsprozesse adaptieren Textilunternehmen entsprechende Lösungen erst langsam. Jedoch erkennen immer mehr Organisationen die Vorteile einer individuellen PLM-Lösung. Forschungsinstitute wie das ITA unterstützen durch vielfältige Forschungsvorhaben diese Entwicklung, um gemeinsam mit den Partnern aus der Industrie die Flexibilität und Transparenz durch PLM für eine stärkere Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Textiltechnik der Zukunft nutzbar zu machen [9, 10, 13].

Abstract:

Product lifecycle management (PLM) has become more important in companies providing technologies and methodologies to manage data, information, and knowledge along the whole product lifecycle. In recent years, several authors have argued about PLM using a managerial or a technological view. The paper analyses these studies and integrates different author's points of view using focus groups, blogs, and face-to-face meetings in a university community of practice. Three sets of features (i.e., managerial, technological, and collaborative ones) have been used to review the existing definitions shared between academic and industrial ones and to propose an extended PLM definition describing its key concepts. The paper is a useful reference for managers and academics who want to have a clear and critical understanding of PLM using a unique source to collect lines of evidence on several PLM definitions, features, and concepts.

Abstract:

This article discusses the advantages of integrating project portfolio management (PPM) with product lifecycle management (PLM) software for project planning. Many engineering companies are now stepping forward to integrate their PPM and PLM systems for more close-up project planning. By tying the two systems, engineering firms are better able to manage time spent on specific projects, to get an overarching and realistic view of where the project stands, to stay on the schedule and to meet specific goals. The tied systems also allow engineers to get a broad view of the project that extends beyond their engineering piece. In engineering companies, where the project status is inevitably tied to the engineering department, closing the loop between theoretical plans and engineering progress can make for big budgetary savings and offer important insight into product planning. Many engineering companies that do not yet have a PPM system are now considering implementing one to plan their product mixes.

Abstract:

Throughout the life cycle of a product, a large amount of information is accumulated, the management of which is an extremely important and complex task. This task is solved by means of project data management systems PDM / PLM-systems (Product Data Management / Product Lifecycle Management). These systems provide an access to data on the product by various attributes and navigation based on its hierarchical structure. They also maintain information links between the product components and their describing documentation. The article discusses the challenges of modern enterprises of the aviation instrument-making industry, namely the data transfer between ECAD systems (electronic computer-aided design) and PDM/PLM systems. Database integration options are described using various connectors (Directum, Solidworks, ATK BIView, net, bom). The article analyses a functionality of existing ECAD systems for integration with PDM/PLM systems. A technique for integrating ECAD with PDM based on data import in bom or net-file format was developed.

Abstract:

This article discusses various aspects of product lifecycle management (PLM). Medical device makers constantly seek innovative technologies; some use product lifecycle management systems to smooth the road to food and drug administration approval. Engineers at superDimension manage hundreds of design changes flying around the company by using the manufacturer’s product lifecycle management technology. Keeping close track of the overwhelming number of documents that a regulatory agency might ask to see is one of them. The Air Force will soon use the technology for a different purpose-to give personnel wireless access to maintenance records and technical manuals where they service aircraft. In order to organize the flow and head off chaos, superDimension implemented its PLM software from the very beginning. The manufacturer uses SmarTeam from the vendor of the same name. The company is now owned by IBM. The company engineered its PLM technology to suit its needs.

Abstract:

Today’s competitive business environment imposes new challenges to manufacturing companies. For these companies to survive in this environment, implementing product lifecycle management (PLM) technologies with an emphasis on cost control is one valid approach. PLM is a strategic business approach that applies a consistent set of business solutions to help manufacturing companies manage all the activities related to a product in an integrated way across the lifecycle from customer need to product recycling and disposal. Product lifecycle cost is an important measure for PLM implementation. It can help track and analyze the financial information of activities associated with each phase of a product’s lifecycle. The paper presents a framework of the product lifecycle costing system for supporting decision making, especially the decision making at very early stages of a product lifecycle. It can be used as a design support tool to help new product development. A number of methodologies and tools are developed in the system. The case based reasoning method is used to quickly build a new product model. The costs of product development processes related to the new product are calculated using activity based costing methods. Dynamic programming is then used to obtain an optimal set of product development processes with the objective of optimizing the overall product development cost. This system is built using object oriented modeling methods.

Abstract:

This article studies the role of product lifecycle management (PLM) in industrial engineering. The basic concepts of PLM—product data management, engineering change management, and product structure management—were also discussed. PLM provides data and management capabilities to reduce the non-value-added tasks required of engineers. It also increases engineering productivity, provides insight into engineering efforts, and improves product quality and customer satisfaction. Companies are receiving significant value and return from their PLM investments. Many companies begin implementing PLM by establishing a single source of product data, or product record. Most PLM solutions offer sophisticated interfaces to many design automation and office applications, which reduce the need to capture, store, and validate product data. Product designs are maintained as assemblies and parts in the PLM system, and that arrangement allows engineers easy searching when they are looking, for example, for legacy components, with software providing a critical control and value portion of the product. With PLM, disparate engineering teams work more collaboratively.

Abstract:

High information content of integrated engineering activities stimulated development of product modeling during the past decades in order to support information management for lifecycle of products. Mechatronics is one of the engineering areas those require integrated product development techniques with strong knowledge based modeling and simulation in their background. The authors of this paper analyzed product modeling advancements in industrially applied product lifecycle management (PLM) systems in order to conceptualize new method to enhance knowledge content in product model. As a result of this analysis, they proposed a new method for control of product definition which extends the existing control in current PLM systems. This method is a contribution to solution for problems in current product modeling and is called as coordinated request based product modeling (CRPM). CRPM applies actual requested product definition (ARPD) as extension to currently applied product model. In this paper, the new method and entities as well as engineering objective definition and product behavior handling are explained as main contributions by the proposed modeling.

Abstract:

The evolvement of Internet of thing (IoT) is undeniable by making the management process become more ease at lowest cost as possible. Product lifecycle management (PLM) is a best approach to be embedded the IoT for the entire manufacturing processes. Real cases reported for weak PLM implemented like late market entry faced by A380 while Toyota faced cost loses in repair, deals and market share from massive called made which effect on company reputations. In this paper, traceability becomes a factor among man, machine and management in order to make fast respond on the data retrieved. The term traceability is measured based on response time in real time system to track the information in just in time for one-to-one communicationthrough JAVA programming and two different operating systems as an approach. The communication can be occurred in less than 20seconds within two different machines. The traceability time is a performance measure for just in time data process which the human behavior factor is neglected for this study. The fastest time response have a potential to optimize the manufacturing management, make more efficient and offer the traceability on product/project status beside improve the flexibility, maintainability, reusability as well as extensibility.

Abstract:

This review explores the prospects of using product lifecycle management (PLM) as an end-to-end solution. The components of PLM provide significant value, but there are no fully integrated offerings on the market that perfectly cover every aspect of product lifecycle, according to a report. In the absence of an end-to-end tracking system, one trend coming to prominence is the use of PLM as the complete system of record for all product data. Though a study concluded that PLM still has a way to go in terms of tracking product design from early inception right through sales to reclamation, it is becoming the main go-to source for a large amount of product data. Experts believe that PLM still has a way to go in terms of tracking product design from early inception right through sales to reclamation; however, it is becoming the main go-to source for a large amount of product data. Software developers are working to create tools that can incorporate ever more of the big picture and make it accessible to engineers.

Abstract:

PurposeProduct lifecycle management (PLM) is an enterprise-wide strategy gaining prominence across manufacturing. The fashion industry is a late adopter of PLM, yet within global fashion and textile organisations PLM is now becoming a mainstream approach to optimize core processes. This literature review analyses the latest academic research to establish a broad basis of understanding of PLM in the sector and identify potential future research directions.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review was conducted to investigate the current state and main perspectives of research on PLM in the textiles and apparel sector. The paper adopts the three features (managerial, technological and collaborative) of the definition of PLM by Corallo et al. (2013) as the analytic framework for the 27 papers to illustrate how PLM is framed and conceptualised in the RFA sector.FindingsPLM is at an interesting phase as it evolves from classical PLM 1.0 to connected PLM 2.0. The evolution of PLM from its PDM origins as an IT tool to a critical component of the strategy for digital transformation is reported. The strategic role of suppliers is noted as a critical success factor. Key inhibitors relating to PLM adoption and optimization in the sector are identified as limited holistic and theoretical perspective of PLM coupled with a deficiency in relevant industry skills. It is argued that the transformational potential of PLM 2.0 may not be fully realised without a more coordinated development effort through industrial and academic collaboration.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitations of this study are that it is a literature review of academic papers in the RFA sector papers within the timescale 2000–2018. PLM 1.0 has dominated in this time period however the potential trajectory of connected PLM 2.0 is beginning to emerge.Practical implicationsThe results from this paper indicate that there is a lack of research on PLM in the sector and concludes by suggesting promising future research possibilities: further empirical and case studies on organisations implementing a PLM strategy; studies reporting on the contribution of PLM to address the challenges of sustainability, traceability and transparency in the industry and inter-industry collaborations; studies with knowledge management theories specifically applied to the textile and apparel sector; and the opportunity for academic and industry collaboration on the development of PLM to meet these needs.Originality/valueTo the best of the author's knowledge, no systematic literature review on this topic has previously been published in academic journals. Given levels of investment in PLM platforms in the sector, both practitioners in companies and the academic community might find the review and agenda for future research useful.

Abstract:

With the rapid development of experience economy, manufacturing should provide products and services which can satisfy the users. The product design evaluation methods and the relationships with PLM were studied. The research actuality and deficiency of product user experience were analyzed. To solve the problems which product design evaluation cannot be implemented throughout the whole product life cycle and user experience cannot guide design evaluation, product development process was divided into four stages based on the product lifecycle management. The design evaluation requirements for every stage were researched, the evaluation contents were analyzed with user experience methods, and the evaluation targets and missions were summarized. So the model of PLM-oriented product design evaluation system based on user experience was established. It proposed the direction of future research, and wished to guide the development of PLM-oriented product design.

Abstract:

Current PLM systems have concentrated on product design, not on manufacturing engineering with its development of e.g. Material flows and layouts. This paper proposes an approach to describe how to represent the main required manufacturing process data using ontologies together with generic data standards. This approach makes it possible to develop translations between different software, and also providing users with the meaning of different concepts. It contributes to an efficient management of manufacturing information, with a focus on the material flow information as used in Discrete Event Simulation - DES.

Abstract:

Smaller Companies are discovering that product management tools can help their small staffs get a global reach. The Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software has become an important tool for managing people and resources at enterprises of any size. At Sonnax, the adoption of a PLM solution has led to some clear changes in information management. Instead of relying on a single point-person to do the project management for the whole company, each product line sales manager has become more deeply involved in the designs of specific lines. Indeed, many startups are incorporating PLM solutions before they even have products to manage. One factor that may be pushing small- and medium-size enterprises to adopt PLM solutions is the new globalized business model. Experts see PLM as way to help the far-flung pieces of the production chain mesh together. The system can be set up to enable suppliers of components anywhere in the world to look at the documentation they need, and to determine the most relevant information: what the history was, the nature of the changes, who approved it, and so forth.

Abstract:

The complexity of the current pharma market needs the most effective drug product development and production. Product lifecycle management (PLM) can produce pharmaceutical manufacturing more efficiently and with less risk. The life cycle approach became adopted in numerous stages within the pharmaceutical company, considering its inception. This International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Q12 guideline intends to enhance the supervision of the post-approval chemistry, manufacturing, and control changes most reliably and effectively both for pharmaceutical industries and regulatory authorities. In this review article, we discuss the benefits and challenges related to this enhanced framework. The new ICH Q12 guideline “Technical and regulatory considerations for pharmaceutical product lifecycle management” assist the management of post-approval chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) changes in an effective way with regard to the pharmaceutical companies.

Abstract:

Background: Several product lifecycle management systems (PLMs) have been implemented in the industrial sector for managing the data of the product from the design up to the disposal or recycling stage. However, these PLMs face certain challenges in managing the complex and decentralized product lifecycles. Methods: To this aim, this work investigates the currently implemented PLMs used in industries through the exploration of various software reviews and selection websites. Accordingly, these existing PLMs are quantitatively compared and analyzed. Results: The analysis shows that most of the existing PLMs do not contain all the required features; therefore, industries integrate different software to create a full-fledged PLM system. However, this practice results in reducing the overall system efficiency. In this context, this paper assesses and recommends a blockchain-based innovative solution that overcomes the challenges of existing PLMs, hence increasing the overall system efficiency. Furthermore, this work argues, in a logical way, that the recommended blockchain-based platform provides a secure and connected infrastructure for data handling, processing, and storage at different stages of the product lifecycle. Conclusions: This work can be considered among the first to compare the currently implemented PLMs with a novel blockchain-based method. Thus, the stakeholders can utilize the outputs of this research in their analysis and decision-making processes for implementing the blockchain in their organizations.

Abstract:

The article is dedicated to the analysis of digital certification of aviation equipment on the basis of multifunctional “Siemens PLM Software” (PLM - Product Lifecycle Management) technologies and “Verification Management” solution. In the theoretical part of the article, the authors point out that during certification a project usually goes through two stages: validation and verification. The first stage involves checking the project requirements for correctness and completeness, while the second stage aims to confirm that the designed aircraft is fully consistent with the validated requirements for it. The article states that the implementation of modern systems engineering practices is based on various instrumental components, methodology, and professional competence and is implemented as part of the general PLM strategy of an enterprise using “Siemens Digital Industries Software” products. In the course of the research, the authors of the article came to the conclusion that “Verification Management” solution in the “Teamcenter Siemens PLM Software” system helps enterprises in the aerospace and defence industries to successfully implement projects on creation of innovative products within a given timeframe and budget. “Verification Management” solution forms a closed traceability cycle for all stages of the control process of project decisions aimed to confirm compliance of the design with specified requirements. “Verification Management Catalyst” module accelerates the enterprise’s transition to digital technology; therefore, this transition improves reliability and productivity while lowering the total cost of ownership. “Teamcenter” system supports verification of the implementation of product development programs, reduces the time and cost of project decisions, which ultimately improves the entire work of the enterprise. “Verification Management” solution is a fully functional lifecycle management solution that is able to transmit product requirements and their changes to all participants of the design process.

Abstract:

Today, companies involved in product development in the “Industry 4.0” era, need to manage all the necessary information required in the product entire lifecycle, in order to optimize as much as possible the product-process integration. In this paper, a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) approach is proposed, in order to facilitate product-process information exchange, by considering design constraints and rules coming from DFMA (Design For Manufacturing and Assembly) guidelines. Indeed, anticipating these manufacturing and assembly constraints in product design process, reduces both costs and Time To Market (TTM), and avoids to repeat mistakes. The paper details the application of multi-objective optimization algorithms after considering DFMA constraints in a PLM approach. A case study using an original mechatronic system concept is presented, and improved by considering product-process integrated design, optimization and simulation loops, using numerical optimization and FEM (Finite Element Method) methods and tools.

Abstract:

This article discusses the introduction and implementation of environmental regulations in manufacturing industry. Manufacturers are responding to customer demand for environmentally friendly products. Several vendors such as PTC and Siemens PLM Software make products that track environmental performance of products, parts, materials, and suppliers. Many products are integrated with a company’s supply chain and product development systems. IBM offers Environmental Product Lifecycle Management, which includes software and consulting services, and assists clients in analyzing every phase their product passes through to ensure environmental compliance. A number of lifecycle assessment software packages have been released in recent years to help designers. Sustainable Minds develops software, for example, that is intended to give engineers pertinent supplier and material information, which allows them to weigh each design decision from an environmental standpoint. Engineers call upon lifecycle analysis software to ensure their products comply with environmental regulations. Meanwhile, the number of manufacturers who will need to meet those regulations represents a growing market for software makers.

Abstract:

PLM is a transformation strategy built on shared access to a single knowledge base, data and processes related to our products. This strategy allows us to grow and to control the rate of change of products or degree of innovation. The purpose of this paper is to find out the importance of innovative processes on Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) integration strategies with the objective to help companies to answer to the main market needs. In the case study we propose to analyze the innovation potential influence over electro-mechanic manufacturing process considering its specific tools. To exemplify our researches we approached the PLM as a multi-dimensional topic and we intent to explore the innovation complex metrics dimensions and help the reader gain a broad perspective of PLM in the Romanian industry. By using this approach, we can score, weight and prioritize customer assessment for different stages of product development process and to take in consideration the most likely changes that will improve the process. There are identified and assessed five innovation complex metrics used in PLM process stages within a complex Product Development Process. Also, based on this metrics, we create and and analyze "PLM innovation matrix" and a related chart.

Abstract:

This article discusses the future of software that links engineering and manufacturing. Companies are seeking a natural link between engineering and manufacturing, even if some aspects of it may be restricted. According to experts, giving manufacturers direct access to that design information would help them isolate potential manufacturing problems earlier in the cycle, cut product development time by stepping up design-manufacturing communication, and ensure that products will comply with government regulations. The article also describes that by allowing for quick communication and updates to an already existing computer-aided design model, product lifecycle management (PLM) can help speed these products to market. Engineers are putting efforts to bring PLM information to the factory floor to cut production time. Though the day of easy integration has yet to arrive, many companies are using PLM to reduce cycle time. Pushing PLM to the factory floor would help, according to an engineer. However, that's not an option for many until integration software comes to the fore.

Abstract:

Blockchain technology has disrupted traditional business processes and hence gained significant attention and popularity in recent years. Consequently, a number of blockchain-based platforms are available today that offer vast applications across multiple sectors and industries. Implementing these blockchain-based platforms as an alternative to traditional product lifecycle management systems (PLMs) is one of the applications. However, before any platform is adopted, its nature, functionalities, and adaptability need to be clearly defined, evaluated, and verified. In this context, the proposed work explores the available blockchain-based platforms that can be used for the purpose of product lifecycle management. We then apply one of the multi-criteria decision-making techniques, i.e., the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), to select the best possible blockchain-based platform for PLM. As transaction speed, data privacy, and scalability are our prime concerns in PLM, we only considered the permissioned (private) blockchain platforms as available alternatives in the final selection process. Results achieved on the basis of considered criteria show that Hyperledger Fabric is the top-ranked among available alternatives to be used for PLM. Furthermore, as blockchain is a new technology, a clear comparison of the available platforms based on the performance-based metrics and key performance indicators is not completely matured and is still in the development stage. However, our proposed approach can be considered an attempt to create a procedure for evaluating blockchain-based platform implementation in any sector.

Abstract:

This article explores evolution of product lifecycle management (PLM) and its advantages. PLM is commonly defined as a set of applications that enable the creation, design, and development of new products through rollout, servicing, upgrade, and end of life. PLM seller Dassault Systèmes, for example, said its 3DExperience platform is compliant with more than 40 standards requested by industry, including web, communication, visualization, and security standards. Most PLM software is able to generate reports from information located in a single system; but only skilled users are able to access, aggregate, and analyze real-time structured and unstructured data found in multiple applications across the organization. Social networks are cropping up in PLM, helping users quickly identify and construct communities with complementary skills to solve problems and enable processes. The experts comment that wherever the end user is working, behind the scenes, the PLM platform is ensuring real-time visibility and control—driving better products and reducing liability and risk.

Abstract:

Background: Continuous innovation is the unique feature of a pharmaceutical industry and is also prerequisite for sustainment of this industry. However, the dipping number of new molecules, rising costs of drug development, heightened health authority scrutiny and increased competition from generic industry indicate that the innovation is endangered. Methodology: The methodology used is a comparative study on the basis of original empirical research. More specifically, the part of examination facts and regulation has been written by conducting empirical research on current international and national resources concerning the subject from books, various Guidelines, Rules and regulations, Articles, Published Reports and internets. Results: The importance of innovation has been fairly realized by the industry and regulatory authorities as evident from the rise in number of new molecules approved by US FDA in 2014. To safeguard innovation, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) should be incorporated in the business models of a pharmaceutical company. It not only helps to maximize lifecycle of the product but also to improve the product development processes, make better business decisions and to deliver greater value to consumers. Conclusion A pharmaceutical product’s life is always complex & unique in nature and can be described in five distinct phases- development phase, approval phase, introduction phase, commercialization & quality management phase and decline phase. Number of strategies to be applied at each stage and the strategies are generally coupled with regulations, and the choice of strategy may vary on country to country. In present manuscript, the scope of various PLM strategies for innovators in four different countries namely, USA, EU, Canada and India has been discussed. This may guide the innovators to have competency to uphold the basic necessity for their survival, i.e. innovation.
