Is JLR About to Stumble on the Final iPLM Stretch?
Interesting article if you have ever had to tussle with IT upgrades...
"Is Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) about to stumble on the final stretch of its iPLM project?
A number of factors indicate that JLR’s PLM project is once again suffering delays. The solution, which is based on Dassault's 3DEXPERIENCE platform, was scheduled to have been in full production by year-end 2015/2016. But iPLM is not yet there, however, so the company has taken steps to deal with the situation.
Among other things, nearly everyone holding the highest levels of responsibility for the iPLM project has been reassigned, or they have resigned. This includes JLR’s former head of PLM, the director of product development and operations and the company’s CIO.
During the summer and fall, Jaguar Land Rover reorganized the entire venture and appointed new managers to the key PLM positions. The unusual thing here is that this was done during what, according to earlier plans, was supposed to be the global roll-out phase of iPLM.
However, instead of fully using the new 3DEXPERIENCE’s data backbone ENOVIA V6, my sources at JLR said that, "due to iPLM not being ready, new vehicle programmes generally are now starting in the old way, such as using Teamcenter." The latter is Siemens PLM’s solution, which was to have been phased out years ago."
