As promised in my blog post: PLM 2021 – My plans – your goals? I was planning to experiment with a format, which I labeled as: The PLM Doctor is IN.
The idea behind this format that anyone interested could ask a question – anonymous or through a video recording – and I would answer this single question.
As you can see from the survey result, many of the respondents (approx. 30 % that did not skip the question) had a question. Enough for the upcoming year to experiment – if the experiment works for you. As it is an experiment, I am also looking forward to your feedback to optimize this format.
Today the first episode: PLM and ROI

Conclusion
What do you think? Does this format help you to understand and ask PLM related questions? Or should I not waste my time as there is already so much content out there. Let me know what you think in the comments.

As the PLM Doctor sometimes talks like an oracle, it was great to see the summary written by SharePLM Learning Expert Helena Guitierrez.

Hi Jos,
agree with you. As Eurostep are focusing on the sharing of PLM data, mostly across enterprises, it is even harder to develop the ROI. The distribution of the return might differ from the distribution of investments, as the solution crosses enterprise borders. Our experience says that a major driver is avoiding mistakes like working on outdated specs, sharing the wrong data or not sharing enough. Managing engineering change is key. Looking at the cost of major mistakes (yes they happen from time to time) the ROI is imminent but the problem with an ROI is that no-one is planning to repeat mistakes. It becomes a judgement of risk that is hard to judge and certainly for the finance staff to value.
Thanks
Håkan
Thanks for adding data sharing accross enterprises to the ROI discussion – often overlooked as many (PLM) projects are focussing on the internal company (already hard enough). Therefore I look forward to discuss this topic together in a joint blog post. Best regards, Jos
