COVID-19 ile İvmelenen Dijitalleşmenin PLM’e Etkileri

Abstract

Within the scope of the study, the potential interaction of the digitalization trend, which accelerated with the COVID-19 epidemic, with Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) was investigated. The literature on the subject has been reviewed, the researches within this scope have been examined and as a result within the process that started with COVID-19, it was found that digitization is now inevitable for organizations and that digitalization will be meaningful with PLM. By explaining the product life cycle phases of PLM, the effects of digitalization in each phase have been explained. Digitalization, the concept of digital twin and its applications are mentioned and the stages it affects in the product life cycle are explained. Then, by mentioning the relationship between PLM and digitalization, the effects of digitalization on the beginning of product (BOL), mid-product (MOL) and end-of-product (EOL) stages are explained. As a result, it is possible to state that a meaningful digitalization will be possible with PLM and that the process starting with COVID - 19 will contribute to the spread of the PLM concept and to increase awareness, since digitalization and PLM are concepts that complement each other.
