What is pdm?
computer Integrated manufacturing is (or at least starts with) data integration on the shop floor. But what about data from engineering (how does it get organized?) How does it get routed?

PDM
PDM is an acronym for Product Data Management. Controls the relationships between elements of engineering information for a companys products throughout the life-cycle of those products. EDMS - Engineering document management systems (EDMS) can include imaging, capture and output Product Information Management (PIM). (sometimes Plant Information Management) Image Management System (IMS)

PDM drivers
ENGINEERING CHANGE (EC/ECN/ECO) still manual forms? Difficulty in finding the appropriate CAD file and related models and analysis data? Difficulty assessing the impact of a proposed change on other designs and on the manufacturing operation How are drawing changes completed and distributed?

PDM Characteristics
Manage relationships between items or objects. Objects
usually include native file formats such as CAD models or word processor files.
Manage structures throughout life-cycle (in different forms or configurations). For example, the configuration of a
complex product may change as it progresses through design review, manufacture and service.
Maintain different variants and release levels within a product range. Incorporate or integrate with document management systems for storage, retrieval and process automation.

Design focus
Think retrieval of design information Think changes Think communication Think build-to package

PDM/PIM Tasks
Release Management - Provides a set of functions similar to a physical drawing vault or library card catalog: allowing users to register a set of data (files) as a single dataset, enter pertinent administrative information about the dataset, check it out for modification, prevent other users from checking out the same dataset, and check it in after the modification is complete; automatically creating a new version of the dataset after each check-in; allowing certain users to review the dataset for approval before release according to a pre-defined release procedure. Change Management - Provides a set of functions to control the change of a registered product dataset: defining the release procedures for various types of data; allowing users to initiate change requests against certain datasets, issue change orders in response to certain change requests, and automatically generate change notices after the change is complete. Notification/Distribution - Provides a set of functions to send messages and/or datasets to users upon the occurrence of certain events: creating distribution lists; defining events; automatically acknowledging to the sender when the messages and/or datasets are received. Administration - Provides a set of functions similar to the database administration functions provided by a conventional database management system (DBMS): assigning user access privileges; providing archive/restore facilities; allowing automatic backup/recovery.

Configuration Management
Product Data Management without Configuration Management is not complete. Configuration Management is the "glue" which maintains synchronization between parts, documentation and change data from design to manufacture and support. most manufacturers could cut costs fifty percent if they could get product configuration information under control. Institute of Configuration Management Making information available to the user at the time it is needed does not guarantee that the information is correct.

benefits by addressing the widely varying requirements for management of product information throughout the entire product lifecycle, and across the extended enterprise. (IBM and Dassault)
and Product Data Management (PDM). VPDM enables new levels of collaboration during the product development process. It allows ideas to be shared and discussed by those from both within and outside of the design community, increasing a company's ability to innovate and increase revenue from new products.

Top 10 Reasons Why Companies Do Not Implement PDM Well...or At All Presented by: Tom Captain, Deloitte & Touche LLP
at Management Roundtable's PDM Decisions 1996 Conference
10 Management won't fund it 9 A better product is coming out next year 8 Our CAD package does enough PDM for us already 7 Management doesn't understand the benefits 6 We're different! No COTS solution will work for us 5 We're waiting for our IS department to finish the long-range system plan. 4 Our corporate re-engineering project needs to finish first, before we start a PDM project 3 We'll let other companies fix the bugs and make the mistakes first, before we jump in 2 We already bought one but had trouble implementing it and they fired the leader & promoted the uninvolved 1 We're spending all of our time and money implementing SAP
