Oxford, England. July 18, 2012

Response to the announcement of the PLM-ERP workshop series (as released in MCADCafe 12 July) was divided fairly evenly between Europe and the USA. The PLMIG therefore aims to hold at least two workshops and combine knowledge from both sides of the Atlantic.

The Workshops have a completely interactive, 3-day format, and will use real PLM-ERP issues and examples as the raw material to generate a definitive neutral solution.

User companies may therefore find it valuable to send colleagues from both backgrounds. The Workshops can be used as a means of resolving the most intractable PLM-ERP issues, while generating a common understanding in the process. Vendors, integrators and consultants are also welcome, as the best solution will come with involvement from all parts of the industry.  The aim of the series is to formalise best practices and generate a neutral, globally-applicable PLM-ERP Handbook.

The first Workshop is still planned for mid-September.  The exact dates and location will be set by those who would like to participate.  More information is available on the PLMIG web site or via Email Contact.

The PLM Interest Group
The PLM Interest Group is the leading neutral industry group for PLM. It has developed the first ever PLM Governance Standard, together with a new generation of applied PLM material including the PLM Best Practice Library and the Path to PLM; and has previously run workshops that have produced the PLM Benchmarking Handbook; the PLM-SCM Guidebook; and the PLM Maturity Reference Manual.
