This book is about the relationship between Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and new technologies that have emerged in the early years of the twenty-first century. The technologies addressed include the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital Thread, Digital Twins, Big Data, digital transformation, sustainable products, and Systems Engineering.Product Lifecycle Management is the business activity of managing, in the most effective way, a company's products all the way across their lifecycles--from the very first idea for a product all the way through until it is retired and disposed of. PLM is a key technology for all manufacturing and engineering companies as it manages their products from Ideation, through Definition, Realisation, and Use to Retirement. The basics of PLM have been addressed in previous volumes in this series. Due to its wide span across a company, PLM has many interactions with other key technologies and systems. This Volume 6 of Product Lifecycle Management looks at the relationship of PLM to other technologies and strategies that have emerged in the twenty-first century and are used by manufacturing companies. The book also includes chapters addressing PLM education in different industry sectors such as mechanical engineering and electronic engineering.

This book explains ¿what goes on in a manufacturing company as a product goes through its lifecycle¿. It describes more than 70 product-related activities that take place during the product lifecycle phases of ideation, development, production, service, and recycling. The various documents, data, working methods, and computer programs used in each activity are outlined. The book tells the story of a project carried out by a Master¿s degree student in a manufacturing company to find out for the CEO exactly what happens with products across their lifecycle. Due to the storytelling approach of the book, the reader will learn, as if they are present in the company, about the activities that take place along the product lifecycle. They will see how the company is organized, what data and documents are created and used in each activity, and which applications are being used. They will see, from the interviews carried out by the student, what people are doing, the difficulties they face, and the improvement opportunities they see. This will give them a good understanding of the various activities that take place, and provide a basis for improving performance and implementing new processes and applications.

Why do so many projects in the Oil and Gas industry fail?According to Janeen Judah, 2017 Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) president, Independent Project Analysis (IPA) estimated that only about 18% of major capital projects meet both cost and schedule targets. A 2016 SPE Technical Report showed that roughly 20% of large capital projects in the Oil and Gas industry are considered successful. In order to find alternative approaches that would lead to more successful projects in the future, we must first understand the biggest root causes of such failure rates.Is it the lack of transparency? Is it miscommunication between disciplines? Is it misaligned goals? Or is it something even deeper than this?This hands-on workbook will take you on a journey of self-discovery to identify current gaps in your capital project management. By the time you reach the end of this workbook, you will have gained powerful tools that you can apply in your workplace right away to improve your project success rates. Join us in exploring the value of an alternative mindset that transcends a specific industry and is applicable to a variety of complex, cross-functional, and unpredictable new facility design projects.
