Product Lifecycle Management cover

Product Lifecycle Management

by Michael Grieves

"Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the newest wave in productivity. This revolutionary approach is an outcome of lean thinking; however, PLM eliminates waste and maximizes efficiency across all aspects of a product's life - from design to deployment - not just in its manufacture. By using people, product information, processes, and technology to reduce wasted time, energy, and material across an organization and in the supply chain, PLM drives the next generation of lean thinking." "Now PLM pioneer Michael Grieves offers everyone from Six Sigma and lean practitioners to supply chain managers, product developers, and consultants a proven framework for adopting this information-driven approach. Product Lifecycle Management shows you how to greatly enhance your firm's productivity by integrating the efforts of your entire organization."--Jacket.
