Abstract
Consistent definition, categorization and operation of products delivered to global markets and customized for different buyer segments is one of the major challenges for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). Customer requirements with all related product requirements need not only be integrated with each other, but with all processes and stakeholders involved through the related business functions of product lifecycle. In this chapter we examine the various challenges of requirements management, especially related to Product Lifecycle Management. We introduce an integration framework, according to which challenges at different levels are categorized. In order to illustrate the specific integration challenges of requirements information with PLM, a case study of automotive industry is introduced. As a conclusion, the study shows the core points where and how the concepts of PLM and requirements management should be developed to create requirements-integrated solutions for extended products and systems through the product lifecycle.
