Generic PLM system for SMEs: Application to an equipment manufacturer J. Le Duigou*, A. Bernard*, N. Perry**, J.C. Delplace*** *IRCCYN -UMR 6597 **I2M -UMR 5295 *** CETIM Abstract: For several years, digital engineering has increasingly taken a more important place in the strategic issues of mechanical engineering companies. Our proposition is an approach that enables technical data to be managed and used throughout the product life-cycle. This approach aims to provide assistance for costing, development and industrialization of the product, and for the capitalization, the reuse and the extension of fundamental knowledge. This approach has been experimented within several companies. This paper presents the case in a company environment that designs and produces families of ship equipment parts.

What does PLMS (product lifecycle management systems) manage: Data or documents? Complementarity and contingency for SMEs

“…By describing the respective technical and functional characteristics of these two OMS types, and by illustrating two implementations and examples of usage, we hope to broaden the range of possibilities considered when addressing the PLM issue in SMEs. Thus, we call for accurate descriptions of technical objects underlying so-called PLM systems (for a good example see [66]) and more road maps to guide their implementation in this context. We also invite researchers to analyze the respective contributions of OMSs and managers in increasing user maturity regarding PLM issues.…”

A Business Process Modelling Approach to Improve OEM and Supplier Collaboration

“…[22] The NIST reference model is a single product interoperability framework which is able to assess, store, serve and reuse all the product information throughout the product's lifecycle and is proposed on the basis of National Institute of standards and Technology. The advantages of this framework are to include most of product information regarding the PLM system and its subordinate and to support interoperability among CAD, CAE, CAM and other interrelated systems.…”

Enterprise Information Systems’ Interoperability: Focus on PLM Challenges

“…The result of the analysis is synthetized in table 1. (Laureillard, 2000) Design/assembling (Demoly, 2010;Le Duigou et al, 2012) (Rejneri, 2000) (Demoly, 2010) …”

“…( Le Duigou al., 2012) deals with interoperability between design and manufacturing by defining a generic data model. He first uses a unified approach to model business specific models then he proposes a generic model integrating the specific models ensuring the semantic flow.…”
