PLM and PDM
PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and PDM (Product Data Management) are systems that manage all data and processes related to a product throughout its entire lifecycle, from conception through design, manufacturing, service, and disposal. While PDM focuses specifically on managing product-related data and documentation, PLM encompasses broader business processes including change management, configuration management, and collaboration across departments and organizations.
