PLM应用是一个或多个PLM核心功能的集合体，提供一套可满足产品生命周期具体需求的功能，它代表了PLM解决方案的某一视图。随着PLM在企业的推广应用，许多不同的PLM使能应用被开发出来，如配置管理、工程变更管理、文档管理等，现在都已成为PLM的标准功能。这些应用缩短了PLM的实施时间，并将许多成功的实施经验融合在这些应用中。典型的PLM应用有：

PLM应用范围五：项目管理（Project Managmenet）

管理项目的计划、执行和控制等活动，以及与这些活动相关的资源。并将它们与产品数据和流程关联在一起，最终达到项目的进度、成本和质量的管理。

PLM应用范围六：产品协同

提供一类基于Ineternet的软件和服务，能让产品价值链上每个环节的每个相关人员不论在任何时候、任何地点都能够协同地对产品进行开发、制造和管理。

PLM应用范围七：产品构型

产品构型管理是应对系列化产品设计和生产的有效方法。通过构型管理避免产品发生局部修改，或更换选件时重新构造BOM表和数据准备等繁重任务。

PLM应用范围八：产品研发管理（Product Development)

通常PLM会被用于生产研发，所以研发管理是十分关键的，贯穿于整个研发部门和环节。当然，研发不见得只有研发部门用，通常会牵扯到多个部门，如包装部、配方研发部等。

PLM应用范围九：合规（Regulatory Compliance）

合规通常会用于食品饮料、化工、日化、电子领域的产品研发，因为这些行业需要大量的去匹配标准，以保证自己的产品不会违反相关部门的规定。如食品不能违反食品添加剂法规，化工不能违反EHS法规等。

What are the application areas of PLM?

A PLM application is a collection of one or more PLM core functions that provide a set of functions that meet the specific requirements of the product lifecycle and represent a view of the PLM solution. With the spread of PLM in the enterprise, many different PLM enabled applications have been developed, such as configuration management, engineering change management, document management, etc., and are now standard features of PLM. These applications shorten the implementation time of PLM and incorporate many successful implementation lessons into these applications. Typical PLM applications are: Digital transformation network zhzxw.cn

PLM application Scope 5: Project Management (Project Managmenet)

Manage activities such as project planning, execution, and control, and the resources associated with these activities. And connect them to product data and processes to manage project schedules, costs, and quality. Digital transformation network zhzxw.cn

PLM application area six: Product collaboration

A class of Ineternet-based software and services that enables everyone involved in every step of the product value chain to develop, manufacture and manage products collaboratively, anytime, anywhere. Digital transformation network zhzxw.cn

PLM application area 7: Product configuration

Product configuration management is an effective method to deal with serialized product design and production. Configuration management avoids heavy tasks such as local product modifications or reconstructing BOM tables and data preparation when changing options. Digital transformation network zhzxw.cn

PLM Application Area 8: Product Development

Usually PLM will be used for production research and development, so research and development management is very critical, throughout the development department and links. Of course, research and development is not necessarily only used by the research and development department, usually involves multiple departments, such as the packaging department, formula research and development department.

PLM Application Area 9: Regulatory Compliance

Compliance is usually used in the product development of food and beverage, chemical, daily chemical, and electronic fields, because these industries need a lot of matching standards to ensure that their products do not violate the regulations of relevant departments. For example, food cannot violate food additive regulations, and chemical industry cannot violate EHS regulations.
