There is often a large gap between the optimal business processes - as desired by the company - and every day work life. Daily occurances are defined by unexpected emergencies which have to be dealt with immediately. In the past few years many companies have analyzed and optimized a large part of their critical business processes, especially in the areas of production, distribution and logistics. Most companies, however, have not yet reached their objective. There is still a lot to be done, especially with the efficient integration of development sections, as well as their partners and customers, into the company as part of the entire product development process . A lot of these processes fall within the category of product lifecycle management (PLM). The aim of usb is to improve the performance and quality of customer products via the comprehensive introduction, optimization and operation of PLM systems.
