Abstract: An application of PLM (PLM GEDOTEC) has been developed in order to show the different steps of a product life, during training in the Industrial Engineering Department at INSA-Lyon. Because of the general use of PLM in industries and the existence of PLM software’s such as Smarteam, Windchill, Teamcenter, Matrix One, etc. it was decided 3 years ago, to implement an application of PLM dedicated to the management of product development. It allows to exercise the engineering of project management as well as data management. The application aimed at friendly and strongly engineering communication in order to increase both the quality of a project and data singularity, correspondence, cohesion, traceability and cued availability. The application known as PLM GEDOTEC allows also to develop training for universities and specific use in industries with the help of information and communication technologies. This paper rapidly presents the implementation and the actual use of the application of PLM GEDOTEC after an introduction of general aspects of PLM. The last paragraph presents future and new developments specially oriented towards KBM (Knowledge Based Management). To conclude, the benefits expected for education and industry of such PLM’s system are highlighted.
