About this book

This book contains the description of machines and systems as investments goods in production. These machines have a technological and economical life cycle over the time used. By explaining the paradigms of life cycle management, the book describes how the life cycle of such investment goods can be designed, operated and optimized to deliver maximum benefit in industrial environment. Additional examples from industry including case studies and calculations demonstrate practical applications and deliver benefit not only for academic or educational purpose but also for industrial practitioners.

Life Cycle System Modeling: Factors of PLM Design

Frontmatter
Chapter 1. Product Life Cycle and Services Management
Abstract
Industrial manufacturing and the consumption of technical products have led to a dramatic depletion of natural resources and an increasing strain on the environment due to emissions.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 2. Life Cycle Design Phase
Abstract
The life cycle design phase is of great importance regarding the integrated consideration of the product life cycle. Empiric studies showed that 70–85% of the total costs are determined in this phase. In this phase it is possible to actively influence the life cycle costs of a product at minimal effort.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 3. Life Cycle Usage Phase
Abstract
In the life cycle usage phase the after-sales services mentioned in the previous chapter are employed. After-sales services can generate additional turnover and margins through longt-term service contracts. Further will the customer loyalty be increased by regular interactions, whereby information is generated of the product use, which can lead to product improvements.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 4. End-of-Life Phase
Abstract
In this chapter a closer look is taken at the topics recycling and disposal, which occur at the end of a life cycle.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 5. Life Cycle Evaluation
Abstract
A sustainable development through a holistic product life cycle management requires an appropriate analysis of the effects of decisions along the whole product life cycle.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 6. Life Cycle Information Support
Abstract
In holistic product life cycle management information appear in every phase of the product. The goal is to give an information feedback to the initial life cycle design phase in order to develop new, better and more innovative products. Like this a continuous improvement process is possible.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 7. Servitization and Modern Business Models
Abstract
In the past, many executives argued that they did not have the proper skills, it is too costly or anyway customers would never pay for extended services implemented within their products (Vandermerwe and Rada in Euro Manage J, 1998 [1]; Niemann in 2016 [2]).
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 8. Big Data
Abstract
Current estimations expect an annual volume of 40 exabytes of electronic data worldwide in 2020 (Statista in 2019 [1]). This is mainly due to the Internet (social networks, IoT, etc.)
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 9. Smart Life Cycle Services
Abstract
Uber, the world’s largest taxi company, owns no vehicles. Facebook, the world’s most popular media owner, creates no content. Alibaba, the most valuable retailer, has no inventory.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 10. System Operators
Abstract
In an economy where the possibility of short-term access to far-reaching resources forms the basis of commercial success, the entire potential of a product’s life cycle moves into the centre of strategic focus. It will no longer be a question of selling a single product to as many customers as possible, but rather of looking after a single customer and supplying him/her with as many products as possible.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 11. Tools for the Digital Business Transformation
Abstract
The primary economical goal of a company is to create value for the stakeholder, in order to generate profit. Value is created by combining the knowledge and competences of the employees with resources (tools, assets, technology, and information) and satisfying a market need.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla

Chapter 12. The Next Digital Age
Abstract
Now that you are aware about the importance of your position “PLMEngineering-Manager”, you probably know that is nothing on this job without IT (Information Technology). Good or bad we face in every sector the human evolution towards: globalization and digital instruments connection. In this “environment” an advantage is to appreciate which are the right digital components for you, and to be aware about what other existing options or applications. Every research institute and research group has its own vision about the efficiency and the opening in using the IT instruments.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 13. Machines and Mechanisms in the Digital Age
Abstract
In the beginnings, the most popular toys were purely mechanic motion solutions enhanced in our times with “electric powered mechanisms”. Every system kinematics is made with mechanical or mechatronic mechanisms. Everybody meet mechanics from the early stage of its life.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 14. Challenging PLM
Abstract
There are so many discussions regarding the PLM solutions, benefits, and implementation models. But, following the discussions on product lifecycle management, all ends in the description of the Data Management using the PDM modules. Therefore it is important to have a clear description about the definition apparition and functionality of the PLM.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 15. Digital Product Tracking
Abstract
Generally everybody is familiar with computers and uses files for different applications. In the beginnings everything is simple and easy but in time the data and files of all kind accumulates.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 16. Boosting Performance
Abstract
It is no news that nowadays industrial context is considering of strong competitiveness, not only within Europe but also Europe in the international market. The globalization is coming with greater challenges than ever before, complex products and systems are developed with shorter lead times and more cost effectiveness. Therefore, the reduction of costs and the time to market has become a strategic task for any manufacturing company.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 17. Industrial Digitally Prototypes
Abstract
The whole product lifetime can be firstly defined into 5 major phases.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 18. Siemens Plm Platform Structure
Abstract
The most common representation of the PLM platform structure starts from the one described in Fig. 12.1, renamed as 18.1.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 19. Teamcenter Data Management
Abstract
Success is when Digitalization adds value to production. Significance is when Digitalization adds value to the company.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 20. Documents Handling
Abstract
As long as most of the discussions are around the single data source and the fact that data must be stored, updated, synchronized and available within the entire company, seems obviously for PLM that documents handling is one of the most considered activity.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 21. The Digital Factory
Abstract
Digital Factory and Industry 4.0 are not really totally new paradigms but the globalization pressure implies a quick response to extended product responsibility: new; better, faster, cheaper.
Jörg Niemann, Adrian Pisla
Chapter 22. Applications Modeling
Abstract
Once defined the first conclusion that PLM is a need for globally used products and processes, results that LCM (Lifecycle Manager) will become omnipresent to avoid the exponential problems rise for the next complex and performant products.
