Abstract
The objective of this chapter is to give a basic introduction to executive roles and activities as they relate to a company’s PLM environment and PLM Initiative. This introduction will help those in a company’s PLM Initiative to understand executive topics and to participate more fully in the PLM Initiative. It’s important to understand the activities in a PLM Initiative that are the responsibility of executives. For various reasons, there are many things in a PLM Initiative that only executives can do. For example, they will best understand the company’s objectives, and the corresponding targets. There are also many things that other people will expect executives to do, and if executives don’t do them, then they won’t get done. This chapter also aims to give students, who are taking a PLM course, a basic understanding of the roles and activities of executives in the PLM environment.
