This PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) Monograph addresses PLM Vision, shows how to develop a PLM Vision, and gives examples.

A PLM Vision is a high-level conceptual description of a company's product lifecycle activities at some future time. Often the Vision looks five years ahead. The Vision outlines the framework and major characteristics of the future PLM activities. It provides a Big Picture to guide people in the choices they have to make - when strategising and planning - concerning resources, priorities, capabilities, budgets, and the scope of activities.

A vision of PLM is needed to provide a clear picture of the future PLM environment. Without a clear PLM Vision, companies can invest heavily in many improvement activities, yet fail to meet their product-related objectives. Development of a PLM Vision is a first step towards making major improvements in product development and support performance.
