PLM Green Themes

Members of our new PLM Green Alliance group have begun collaborating to identify and select overarching PLM Green themes and sub-topics which we plan to research, share, discuss, and advocate. So far the following five themes have been recommended.

The role, contribution, and value of PLM-enabling technologies (e.g. PLM, PDM, CAE, CM, 3DP, CAD, DT, HPC, MBSE, AR/VR, PPM, MDO, MPS, etc.) in addressing:

Theme 1  –  PLM and Sustainability

Theme 2  –  PLM and Circular Economy

Theme 3  –  PLM and Climate Change

Theme 4  –  PLM and Green Energy

Theme 5  –  PLM and Life Cycle Assessment 

Theme 6  –  PLM and Design for Sustainability

Help us to identify additional themes and select subtopics within each theme by leaving a comment below, sending a note to info@plmgreenalliance.com or joining our LinkedIn Group.

We welcome volunteer contributions to help us expand and curate the collection of resources, and moderate discussions in each of these themes and their subtopics.

Join us to make a difference on what may very well be the most important and valuable contributions of our PLM profession in a lifetime!
