A challenge in implementation of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools is the selection of the right vendor and the solution. Implementing PLM entails huge financial investment on the part of the user and hence precise knowledge as to where each tool can be applied is a must. In this paper, seven PLM tool vendors are compared on their definitions of PLM and also their product offerings in different Product Life Cycle (PLC) phases, including the extreme ends of PLC viz. R&D and end-of-life phase, which are usually ignored. An integrated PLC model is developed and the tools are then mapped onto different phases of PLC. Vendors are compared based on number of tools offered in different PLC phases. The results reveal an uneven distribution in the applicability of various tools, with majority of them focusing on the product development phase and an astonishingly low number on the R&D and end-of-life phases.

In the article it is reviewed and modified a method of product life cycle assessment (LCA) with the help of a new stage ­ "market monitoring", which allows at the stage of strategic planning to identify priorities for product release and production technology design. It is also found that the use of OLAP technology enables to visualize not only the stages of "start-release", but also to assess the necessity of termination of further production, using a developed spiral model of product life cycle assessment for virtual instrument-making enterprises. The developed model have shown that when reaching break-even point it should be the right way to conduct strategic planning, modernize the product in accordance with the consumer needs and give the product a new round or complete the project. Development of such models helps to ensure that the product life cycle for virtual instrument-making enterprises can stretch to infinity.

Lifecycle Management

One of the challenges facing organizations today is how to properly manage sustainability. This situation is highly complex as the amount of information relating to projects to be managed increases considerably. Therefore, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems can be the solution for reducing the complexity of this information management, since they connect the different stakeholders of the product life cycle, allowing them to access information from all stages of the project life cycle. However, there are still no tools that manage sustainability in a efficient way. That is why it is proposed an innovative tool, ARTIST, which allows organizations to know the current state of sustainability of the organization, as well as the situation associated with all stakeholders who interact in the project, while enabling the options to study the margins for improvement in the area of sustainability from the perspective of integrating the Triple E. It is a proposal for an agile, robust, flexible and adaptable tool for all organizations developed in the field of industry 4.0 and interconnected management systems following objective 12 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) where work is done so that organizations adopt sustainable practices and incorporate information on sustainability in their life cycle.

Abstract The relentless pursuit of lower production costs causes companies to invest in more efficient production systems so that they can remain economically competitive, while the actions focusing on more sustainable operations from an environmental point of view are usually performed to meet the political government regulating environmental control. However, it is common for companies to focus their efforts to minimize the environmental impacts at an early stage of the product life cycle, neglecting sustainability management in the post-use phase. Given the context, this study seeks to develop sustainability indicators that can be used by the electronics industry to assess the level of practice and performance during production that are related to product recovery after the use phase, in order to better understand how companies are acting to reduce the environmental impacts of their products at the end of their life cycle. Initially, critical success factors related to environmental management of the product’s end-of-life are obtained. Then, some of those critical success factors are prioritized, giving rise to the indicators of sustainability used in the benchmarking method. Benchmarking was performed in electronics Brazilian companies, and the data was obtained by means of a questionnaire and interviews. It is concluded from the results that the proposed indicators are suitable for measuring the levels of practices and performance of the participant companies in environmental management at the end of the product life cycle as the indicators were able to portray faithfully the reality of each company.

Lifecycle Management

Product lifecycle management (PLM) is concerned with managing all the processes of product transition from cradle to the grave. Phases of a product life are inception, engineering design, manufacture, service, and disposal. A product passes through different systems, organisations, and users as it completes the life cycle. Global markets of today have increased the complex nature of a product path. All the life cycle phases rely upon product data for efficient management. In order to ease the strain of managing products throughout the lifecycle, a common product data schema is needed. Currently many platforms for product design use different proprietary schemas that make it difficult to have smooth lifecycle management. The chapter illustrates applications of an open source, XML-based schema for product lifecycle management. The main focus is on the inclusion of the Cloud in order to have new generation cloud product life cycle management (CPLM). The main driver of CPLM is cloud-model-based systems engineering (CMBSE). Within the framework of CMBSE are cloud-based design (CBD), cloud manufacturing (CM), and cloud-based maintenance (CBM). The three subsystems of CMBSE can be combined to form a single term, cloud-based design, manufacturing, and maintenance (CBDMM). Cloud computing, manufacturing, and maintenance are not new concepts, but many enterprises have not yet embraced them because of lack of complete seamless integration across various levels and processes in the product life. Many systems are still being run in silos of automation. CPLM is a service-oriented (SOA) model comprised of a pool of technologies such as cloud computing (CC), IoT, virtualization, and service-oriented technologies to support collaboration, sharing, and management across PLM phases.

A manufacturer of any kind of product has to be in contrast to competitive to survive on market. A major point to win a customer over is the arrangements of costs. In investment goods industry asset cost are just the tip of the iceberg. Most of their costs accrue by use. Because of that it is important to overview the whole costs of the product life cycle. Product life cycle costs describe the cost of a product over its whole life. This includes all expenses from development, production and use to recycling and refers to manufacturer and customer equally. The majority of costs are determined in the stages of product development. As a manufacturer of complex investment goods (e.g. machine for production) the question of new development investments has to be answered. There are three important dimensions to consider. These dimensions concern the right part of product for improvement, the right kinds of costs and the owner of these costs. In detail they have to decide which part of product should be improved to get the main effect concerning reduction of life cycle costs. But in that case it is also important to know what kinds of costs of the chosen part have to be reduced (for example energy cost, cost for maintenance or repair). The third dimension in case of product life cycle costs aims at the owner of the cost, manufacturer or customer. This is a problem when new developments cause savings on one side but expenses for the other. In that context the best leverage of these combinations is searched for which means that exactly this kind of costs has to be identified, whose savings get the biggest benefit in relation to necessary expenses. This paper presents an approach to address this problem. For the pre-selection of possible functions established methods derived from product development are used in this context. Afterwards a procedure of quantification is presented. Calculation and rating of new defined management ratios provide the biggest leverage in order to reduce the product life cycle costs. This approach represents an instrument for manufacturer’s business of investment goods to make decisions about their future investments in the field of product development.
