PLM product family

In product lifecycle management (PLM), a product family is a group of similar products or product variants that share common characteristics and are typically developed, manufactured, and marketed together. Product families are often used to organize and manage product development and manufacturing processes, and to streamline the management of product data and documentation.

A product family can include a range of products with variations in size, color, features, and other attributes. For example, a product family may include different models of smartphones, each with its own unique features, but all sharing common characteristics such as a similar design, operating system, and user interface.

PLM systems are used to manage the product family data, such as design, engineering and manufacturing data, Bill of Materials, change management, configuration management, testing, validation and certification. It allows manufacturers to re-use common components and data across products, reducing development time and costs. It also helps to ensure that all products in the family are compliant with customer and organizational requirements.
