With today's global and complex manufacturing environment, auto companies are looking for new strategies and solutions to help drive collaboration and innovation to stay competitive.

For years, automotive manufacturers have been harnessing the power of 3D Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions to help create, optimize and manufacture great vehicles. However, these tools have been available for only a select few within a corporation.

The next generation of 3D PLM tools, referred to as PLM 2.0, can bring real-time, global collaboration to life with features such as a single PLM platform for Intellectual Property (IP) management (one database and one server), and the open Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) development platform. With only a single web connection, product authoring and collaboration are enabled for real-time, concurrent work, across multiple remote locations — all in a 3D lifelike environment.

This paper will discuss how expanding PLM beyond engineering and manufacturing organizations can help leading automotive companies create better products and prosper in today's increasingly complex, competitive and global world.



The PLM online for all strategy, enabled by the V6 platform, brings product-related knowledge, from ideas to product experiences, to life and helps vehicle manufacturers to:

  • Enable collaboration among virtual product teams spread around the world so that they can conduct product development and support 24/7
  • Leverage intellectual assets effectively across the entire product lifecycle
  • Create a virtual, global value chain with no time, distance or organizational boundaries
  • Continually innovate and improve products, and the processes used to design, produce
    and service them
  • Ensure that product innovation and development is based upon current customer desire at a reasonable price
