Those eight words are found on millions of boxes. On iPods. On iPhones. On the products that have dominated the landscape for nearly 10 years in a way that no others have. While lots of people in the product development community almost venerate Jonathan Ive and his design team, less is known about the manufacturing operations that create the Apple products—although there are the occasional news reports about the factories hiring underage workers (which, incidentally, was revealed in Apple’s own "Supplier Responsibility, 2010 Progress Report," which includes the following: "Apple’s procurement decisions take into account a facility's social responsibility performance, along with factors such as quality, cost, and timely delivery.

PLM for All Gets Easier
Recent developments seem to bring product lifecycle management (PLM) a lot closer to the ideal. Granted, vendor claims to the contrary, PLM is not quite "out of the box."
