PLM Application Technology In The Vehicle Development Process

Along with the increasingly high demand of automobile production, such as improving the quality of products, improve service levels, to shorten product delivery time, reduce the cost of product development, enterprises can only compress the development cycle of new products to meet market demand for fast-developing new products. The point of product lifecycle management concept is to establish a PLM project management system, including product demand, planning, design, production, sales, use, operation, after sale maintenance, and recycling and disposal, the whole process of management is to optimize business processes, enhance the market competitiveness of products, and to maximize enterprise operating income.This paper, based on production life-cycle management basic concepts, studies PLM core content, basic model and application focus, and on this basis, it takes a new automotive development process as the core work, involves spectrum planning, pre-development, design, process development and manufacturing and other specific main line of business. The introduction of PLM support systems enhances the company’s new product development capability and efficiency effect. Finally it takes Beta program for example, PLM system implement shall integrate seamlessly the product information and operating data, which scatter between individuals and departments. PLM system shall make project implementation process flow, logistics, information flow and knowledge flow unimpeded, and improve the comprehensive ability of product development.
