  • Total budget: € 10.595.000
  • Lab Budget: € 2.966.600
  • Number of partners: 6
  • Partners: Alenia Aeronautica, GE Avio srl, GE – Oil & Gas – Nuovo Pignone, CICII – Università del Salento, Dhitech scarl, Politecnico di Bari.
The project aims to overcome manufacturing company limitations (Several Software Tools, Loss of Technical Knowledge, Unformalized Processes, Intra-Firm Security, Weak Virtualization) for creating a big advantage for companies in terms of efficiency, efficacy and competiveness favoring the growth of the entire network of companies, enabling models such as value-network, risk sharing and extended enterprise and improving the innovation of complex system through a controlled cycle of knowledge gathering, re-use and improve.

The objectives are the development of a technological platform, a methodological framework and a critical mass of capabilities within the Product Lifecycle Management. PLM has to be knowledge driven and enabling an holistic integration for including persons, processes, practices, rules and technologies along the whole product lifecycle: 1) working at the level of single process in order to create information management systems; 2) creating a layer of integration among different applications.
