Defining PLM
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is an
integrated, information driven approach to all
aspects of a products life from its design inception,
through its manufacture, deployment and
maintenance, and culminating in its removal from
service and final disposal.

PLM: Defining a New

Acronym
Product lifecycle management is an integrated, information-driven approach to all
aspects of a product's life, from its design through manufacture, deployment and
maintenanceculminating in the product's removal from service and final disposal. PLM
software suites enable accessing, updating, manipulating and reasoning about product
information that is being produced in a fragmented and distributed environment.
Another definition of PLM is the integration of business systems to manage a product's
life cycle.

Toshiba to Spend $1 Billion to Settle Laptop

Lawsuit
By ANDREW POLLACK
OS ANGELES -- Toshiba Corp. said Friday that it

will spend about $1 billion to settle a class action
lawsuit brought by two people charging that the world's
leading maker of laptop computers sold 5 million
defective machines in the United States since 1987.
Quality Control is a Proxy

for Performance
QC is based on causality theory not
performance
QC feedback loops are remote and
incomplete
Warranty and survey data is biased and/or
flawed
Need in-service integrated data
Information Feedback and

Feed Forward
