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 \u201cculture change management\u201d issues and have derailed many enterprise-scale PLM efforts. Drawn from the authors\u2019 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.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.2031270","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,8,26]],"date-time":"2005-08-26T22:02:02Z","timestamp":1125093722000},"page":"227-237","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["Streamlining Product Lifecycle Processes: A Survey of Product Lifecycle Management Implementations, Directions, and Challenges"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Ravi M.","family":"Rangan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Product Sight Corporation, Bellevue, WA 98029"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steve M.","family":"Rohde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Quantum Signal, LLC, Ann Arbor, MI 48108"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Russell","family":"Peak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0560"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bipin","family":"Chadha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coensys www.coensys.com"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Plamen","family":"Bliznakov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PTC, Needham, MA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"33","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2019100413282969000_c1","unstructured":"Workflow Management for Simultaneous Engineering Networks, Funded by the Commission of the European Communities under the ESPRIT programme. \u27e8http:\/\/tmitwww.tm.tue.nl\/staff\/krouibah\/SIMNET.htm\u27e9"},{"key":"2019100413282969000_c2","volume-title":"The Workflow Imperative: Building Real World Business Solutions","author":"Koulopolous"},{"key":"2019100413282969000_c3","article-title":"A Math-Data Environment to Improve Vehicle Creation","volume-title":"Proc., ASME 9th Annual Engineering Database Symposium","author":"Bowler"},{"key":"2019100413282969000_c4","volume-title":"The Mechanical Design Process","author":"Ullman"},{"key":"2019100413282969000_c5","volume-title":"Winning at New Products","author":"Cooper"},{"key":"2019100413282969000_c6","volume-title":"The Power of Product Platforms","author":"Meyer"},{"key":"2019100413282969000_c7","volume-title":"UML Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Standard Object Modeling Language","author":"Fowler"},{"key":"2019100413282969000_c8","unstructured":"The Design Structure Matrix Home Page \u27e8http:\/\/www.dsmweb.org\/\u27e9"},{"key":"2019100413282969000_c9","article-title":"Object Oriented Databases in the Engineering Enterprise","volume-title":"Design Analysis, Robust Methods, and Stress Classification","author":"Morenc"},{"key":"2019100413282969000_c10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Rangan, R.
