Plant lifecycle management
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plant lifecycle management (PLM) is the process of managing an industrial facility's data and
information throughout its lifetime. Plant lifecycle management differs from product lifecycle
management by its primary focus on the integration of logical, physical and technical plant data in a
combined plant model.
A PLM model can be used through a plants whole lifecycle, covering:
Design,
Construction,
Erection,
Commissioning,
Handover,
Operation,
Maintenance/Refurbishment/Life Extension,
Decommissioning,
Land rehabilitation.

Physical model
Physical parts of a plant are usually represented by 3D CAD models. The CAD system used would
typically focus on top-down, routing, and DMU and would differ on many point from the systems used
in the mechanical industry, or for Architectural engineering. Sometimes the CAD system would be
supplemented by software to generate 3D views or walk-through features.
Technical model
The technical data is typically managed by an ERP system or some other database. There could also be
links to systems for handling unstructured data, like EDM systems.
Integration
Integration with Enterprise (EPCM, ePCM),
Integration with Enterprise (Owner/Operator),
Integration with Regulator.
Applicability
New Build
Return to Service (RTS)
