Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to give a basic introduction to products in the context of PLM. This will help those in a company’s PLM Initiative to understand some of the issues around managing products across their lifecycles. They’ll see some of the characteristics and parameters common to all products. This will help them to participate more fully in the PLM Initiative. This chapter also aims to give students of PLM a basic understanding of products in the context of PLM.
