Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of product lifecycle management (PLM) in general and its application in the automotive industry in particular. The evolution and the constituents of a state-of-the-art PLM system are addressed alongside a discussion on how PLM supports the systems engineering approach. Emphasis is placed on the importance of PLM in terms of its structured and traceable data-handling ability within the automotive industry and as an enabler of innovation. The evolution of PLM is described in steps from product data management (PDM) to the current scope of PLM and includes possible future features. One of the main goals when implementing PLM is to ensure the traceability of system information: something that is essential for an efficient and effective implementation of systems engineering. Possible future scenarios for product development are described based on a reflection of current PLM practices.
