In industry, 

product lifecycle management (PLM) is the process of managing


the entire lifecycle of a product from inception, through engineering design and
manufacture, to service and disposal of manufactured products. PLM integrates
people, data, processes and business systems and provides a product
information backbone for companies and their extended enterprise. PLM
systems help organizations in coping with the increasing complexity and
engineering challenges of developing new products for the global competitive
markets.

Enterprises that seek to become proficient in advanced manufacturing must


incorporate manufacturing management tools and integrate data throughout the
supply chain to be successful. This course will make students aware of what a
digitally connected enterprise is, as they learn about the operational complexity
of enterprises, business process optimization and the concept of an integrated
product-process-value chain. Students will become acquainted with the
available tools, technologies and techniques for aggregation and integration of
data throughout the manufacturing supply chain and entire product life-cycle.
They will receive foundational knowledge to assist in efforts to facilitate design,
planning, and production scheduling of goods and services by applying product
life cycle data. Main concepts of this course will be delivered through lectures,
readings, discussions and various videos.

This is the sixth course in the Digital Manufacturing & Design Technology
specialization that explores the many facets of manufacturing’s “Fourth
Revolution,” aka Industry 4.0, and features a culminating project involving
creation of a roadmap to achieve a self-established DMD-related professional
goal
