PLM is not just a tool. It is the product maturity system.

From project structure to product definition, configuration, deliverables and change management, PLM connects engineering work to controlled decisions.

ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

The same PLM data, different engineering missions.

01

Concepteur

Creates and enriches product definition objects, technical specifications, documents, configuration/effectivity and associated deliverables. Works through technical reviews, acceptance reviews and product officialization.

02

Pilote Projet

Creates or structures the project, defines target configuration and expected deliverables, organizes project lots and decisions, and uses maturity information to prepare milestone crossings.

03

Consultant WEB / WIN

Searches, explores and verifies objects, structures and attached documents. The consultant role is about reliable access to engineering information and correct interpretation of what is visible.

PRODUCT & PROJECT STRUCTURES

Understand the objects before interpreting the status.

PROJECT

Project → milestone → target configuration

Expected deliverables and project decisions give the programme its maturity framework.

PRODUCT

Expected product → definition → realization

Product structures connect the intended product to its engineering definition and realization.

DELIVER

Object → deliverable → review

Deliverables are not isolated files: they are evidence associated with an expected outcome.

CONTROL

Lifecycle → configuration → change

Maturity and effectivity protect the coherence of the product as it evolves.

FROM JALON TO PRODUCT

PLM turns a milestone from a date into a controlled evidence set.

JAP

Project start

Project structure, objectives, product composition and initial requirements are established.

JST

Product development

Design work, configuration, expected objects and technical reviews progressively enrich the definition.

JRO

Officialization

Acceptance and officialization provide controlled evidence that the expected product definition has reached the required maturity.

ENGINEERING READING RULE

Never ask only “is it done?”

Ask: What object? Which revision? Which configuration? Which lifecycle state? Which expected deliverable? Which approval? Which downstream impact?
