Inge and Robert,

My earlier post focused on implementation of the tools of a PLM system, you
both point out possibly the biggest hurdle - getting the end users to buy in
to changing the way they work once the system is in place.

The real benefit of PLM is having the complete history, configuration, and
supporting data of all company products immediately available and accessible
to each end user. Proper PLM processes and training must be provided to
users to help them leverage the systems value. Initially this results in
users accepting more responsibility for their job functions, but with some
commitment significant productivity gains will be realized.
