Competence for Complexity

In the ever-evolving landscape of product development, product lifecycle management (PLM) and product data management (PDM) have become indispensable. In an era where technology and competition continually advance, efficient data management and seamless process management play a crucial role in a company’s success. This is especially true in a time when increasing integration into data ecosystems like Gaia-X demands highly efficient and agile development environments.

Fraunhofer IPK defines PLM as a strategic approach that encompasses the entire lifecycle of a product, from conception through production to disposal. This comprehensive understanding forms the foundation for improved collaboration between departments, optimized resource utilization, and accelerated market introduction.

For those who wish to deepen their PLM knowledge, Fraunhofer IPK is offering the English language online course »Mastering PLM«, as well as the German language »PLM Professional« training with its partners Fraunhofer IAO and Fraunhofer Academy These tailored programs provide practical insights into the latest PLM methods and tools. Participants are empowered to master the complexity of PLM and implement innovative solutions within their organizations. The interplay of data, people, and processes is examined to convey a deeper understanding of the necessity of a holistic PLM approach.
