In presentations on implementations under way and strategic visions under development, PLM Road Map 2012 earned its theme—a Brave New World—and its agenda subtitle, “PLM as THE Strategic Imperative.” As always in a technology focused conference, there were presentations about progress in implementing PLM strategies. PLM Road Map newcomers included three presenters, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Schreiber Foods (dairy products), and Dow Chemical. Presentations focused on discrete manufacturing were by the Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory at Georgia Tech, Caterpillar, Cummins, EADS, Mercury Marine, Parker Hannifin Aerospace, the U.S Army's Armament, Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), Waltonen Engineering, and Whirlpool. As in past years, the automakers and their suppliers were well represented: Dana, Delphi, Ford, GM, GKN Driveline, Jaguar Land Rover, and TRW. All these firms spelled out the evolution of their PLM strategies, how they are making headway in Page 2 CIMdata PLM Industry Summary communications and collaboration, and their successes in wrestling with legacy systems, entrenched bureaucracies, convoluted workflows, and “silos” of expertise. The themes "Brave New World" and "Strategic Imperative" highlighted the conference’s expansion. This was intended to meet the strategic needs of new-product-development in two ways—more detail on PLM implementations and the introduction of a strategic management track. Nearly 300 attended PLM Road Map 2012, up from approximately 220 last year—a capacity crowd in the Plymouth, Mich., conference center CIMdata uses. At every conference there are eye-opening insights. Three of this year’s came from: Dow’s PLM Project Manager Mike Williams who spoke on “sandwiching” PLM as an important interface between enterprise resource planning (ERP) and manufacturing execution systems (MES). This is a key part of Dow’s transition of its commodity-based business toward high-value, low-volume specialty chemicals. Continuous-process manufacturers, such as Dow, offer hot business opportunities for PLM solution providers and fresh insights for implementers. Dow is pursuing ERP, PLM, and MES to form an integrated, end-to-end solution for managing products and production as part of Dow’s transformation. “PLM is rarely deployed in the chemical industry,” Williams observed. “It has been found difficult to straddle the diverse requirements of numerous and varied chemical production systems relative to PLM strategies and implementation plans.” “As a highly capital intensive business, Dow has a compelling need to implement an integrated ERP- PLM-MES solution. The drivers for Dow are high asset utilization (including overall equipment effectiveness or OEE) and rapid introductions of new
