This review is from: PDM: Product Data Management (Paperback)

This book is one of the most comprehensive and lavishly illustrated resources about PDM from a manufacturing perspective in print.

It provides a solid introduction to PDM as a discipline, and the underlying concepts, including justification for implementing PDM and its associated ROI.

I like the way PDM is treated as an overreaching process, and how it connects to BOMs, routing and scheduling, and the manufacturing process itself. The book delves into metrics, specialized BOMs, managing change, and recommended vendors to provide the technical infrastructure to support PDM. Also included is a project plan and roadmap for implementing PDM, which enhances the value of this book.

The writing is crystal clear, and is augmented by full color graphics that portray concepts, processes and other relevant information, making this book both an easy read and a reference during and after PDM has been implemented. Moreover, the supporting web site, CIBRES (ASIN B0001MMRTY) contains additional information about this book and supporting materials.
