Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the newest wave in productivity. This revolutionary approach is an outcome of lean thinking; however, PLM eliminates waste and efficiency across all aspects of a product's life--from design to deployment--not just in its manufacture. By using people, product information, processes, and technology to reduce wasted time, energy, and material across an organization and into the supply chain, PLM drives the next generation of lean thinking. Now PLM pioneer Michael Grieves offers everyone from Six Sigma and lean practitioners to supply chain managers, product developers, and consultants a proven framework for adopting this information-driven approach. Product Lifecycle Management shows you how to greatly enhance your firm's productivity by integrating the efforts of your entire organization. Most companies are seeing the returns of their efforts in lean methods diminishing, as the most fruitful applications have already been addressed. Here, Grieves reveals how PLM gives you an opportunity to make improvements both within and across functional areas in order to increase agility, optimize efficiency, and reduce costs across the board. He gives you the most comprehensive view of PLM available, fully outlining its characteristics, method, and tools and helping you assess your organizational readiness. There's also proven examples from the field, where PLM is being widely adopted by leading companies, including General Motors, General Electric, and Dell, that are widely adopting the approach. You'll see how PLM has saved these companies billions in unnecessary costs and shaved as much as 60% off cycle times. With this book you'll learn how to: Develop and implement your PLM strategy to support your corporate objectives Engage all your employees in using information to eliminate waste Enable improved information flow Better organize and utilize your intellectual capital Foster an environment that drives PLM Lean manufacturing can only take your organization so far. To bring your productivity to the next level and save remarkable amounts of time, money, and resources, Product Lifecycle Management is your one-stop, hands-on guide to implementing this powerful methodology.

It is the job of the Product Manager to drive the product lifecycle for maximum short- and long-term profitability. Unfortunately, the job doesn't come with an owner's manual. Until now. "Trees Don't Grow to the Sky" guides the reader through the stages of the product lifecycle, including examples most people are familiar with and everyone can understand. Each step of the way, the reader will come to appreciate the nature of the four unique lifecycle stages, the market forces that put the product there, as well as what to do - and what not to do - now. This is the perfect book for anyone working in Product Management, or considering it as a potential career option. "Trees don't grow to the sky" is a business adage taken from a German proverb, warning against straight-line thinking. The product, the customer, the market will not continue to grow simply because they have always grown in the past. Growth becomes Maturity; Maturity becomes Decline. The lifecycle moves forward. In business, the results we get depend on the decisions we make, and the decisions we make depend on where we are and where we want to go. Understanding product lifecycle fundamentals is essential to making good business decisions.
