Proposed ICP-35K Project
In a recent
issue we mentioned the proposed "Implementing CPD and PLM Technologies
for 35,000 European Manufacturing Companies" project for the Sixth Framework
Programme of the European Community for research, technological development
and demonstration. The Expression of Interest for the project is on the
European Commission's CORDIS web site at
http://eoi.cordis.lu/dsp_details.cfm?ID=34920.
The corresponding Call for Proposals has been made:
Thematic call in the area of "manufacturing, products and services
engineering in 2010".
Identifier: [FP6-2002-IST-NMP]
Closing Date: 24 April 2003 (first stage)
http://fp6.cordis.lu/fp6/call_details.cfm?CALL_ID=10.

We are sometimes asked what is special about this proposed project. Without knowing
the details of all the other projects that have been proposed, it's difficult to
answer that question. However, here are a few thoughts :
- ICP-35K seems to have been the only Expression of Interest (EoI) focused on PLM
(Product Lifecycle Management) in the sense of "cradle to grave" management, definition
and support for manufactured products and associated services.
- ICP-35K seems to be the only EoI that addresses CPD (Collaborative Product Development)
within the context of PLM.
- ICP-35K seems to be the only EoI that addresses STEP within the
context of PLM.
- ICP-35K addresses both discrete and process manufacturing.
- ICP-35K addresses processes, human resources, application
systems, techniques and information for the lifecycle management, development and support of products
and services.
- ICP-35K aims to help more than 35,000 companies implement CPD and PLM. These
companies represent a knowledge community of more than 1 million people developing and
supporting manufactured products and associated services.
- PLM is the "new frontier" after CAD, ERP, SCM and CRM. It's where
manufacturing companies aim to gain ground over their competitors in
the coming decade. ICP-35K is addressing a strategic target on the
road to 2010.
PLM has a very wide scope, and is complex and difficult to implement.
ICP-35K is ambitious but realistic. To achieve its targets it needs
participation from organisations of different size, location, industry
and application. To achieve a good balance for the project we would
still like to hear from other European
organisations interested in participating, for example :
- universities and research organisations that address PLM
- companies, particularly in the food and pharmaceutical sectors,
that may be interested in participating in the project, as well
as those that would like to support it without actually participating.
If you're based in the UK or Ireland contact
Roger Tempest.
If based in another EU country, or in one of the Candidate Countries, contact
John Stark.
Here are two documents that answer frequently asked questions:
To avoid duplication of objective, scope and effort, we would also like to hear
from people involved in other proposals that
may be made in the area of "manufacturing, products and services
engineering in 2010".
