So what does full PLCS model cover? Requirements management Document and File management “Through life Configuration Management”– Configuration Management of Design of product– Configuration Management of individual products Definition of any kind of support task relating to a product Definition, location and quantification of support resources History of individual product configuration, use andstate/condition History of work done and resources used Integration of the above over a complete life cycle .with optional complexity to meet user needsAll Presentation Material Copyright Eurostep Group AB

Share-A-space in short Share-A-space provides an outof-the-box informationintegration tool using openstandards Share-A-space provides aninformation value increase byinformation consolidation inheterogeneous system andorganizational environments Share-A-space integratesproduct information across theproduct life cycle Share-A-space decouplesinformation from businessprocessAll Presentation Material Copyright Eurostep Group AB

Case study: VolvoExtended Enterprise &Consolidation of InformationAll Presentation Material Copyright Eurostep Group AB
Volvo – sharing of engine product structure data Volvo often had outdated product data,leading to inefficient information management– Difficult and time consuming to get the right data– High percentage of the spare parts where erroneouslyreturned– High risk of design errors due to outdated third partyinformation– Time consuming to produce a correct parts catalogueAll Presentation Material Copyright Eurostep Group AB

Summary & Conclusions Use of PLCS (an open standard) as the mediationformat provides:– Better system positioning for future systeminteroperability– Reconciliation of product data cross-application– Configuration control of lifecycle views Transparent interoperability services Systems are better positioned for improvedproduct supportAll Presentation Material Copyright Eurostep Group AB
