All PLCS – ISO 10303-239


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 and state/condition

• History of work done and resources used

• Integration of the above over a complete life cycle….with optional complexity to meet user needs

Interoperability Solutions


Share-A-space in short

• Share-A-space provides an out-of-the-box information integration tool using open standards

• Share-A-space provides an information value increase by information consolidation in heterogeneous system and organizational environments

• Share-A-space integrates product information across the product life cycle

• Share-A-space decouples information from business process

Case study: Volvo

Extended Enterprise & Consolidation of Information


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• Volvo often had outdated product data, leading to inefficient information management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 erroneously returned

– High risk of design errors due to outdated third party information

– Time consuming to produce a correct parts catalogue

Summary & Conclusions

• Use of PLCS (an open standard) as the mediation format provides:

– Better system positioning for future system interoperability

– Reconciliation of product data cross-application

– Configuration control of lifecycle views

• Transparent interoperability services

• Systems are better positioned for improved product support
