Why most PLM programmes quietly fail
Most organisations don’t have a PLM problem.
They have a business discipline problem that PLM systems simply expose
Lie #1 - Installing the tool means progress
Buying PLM software feels like action.
In reality it freezes broken processes into expensive systems.
No agreed change discipline
No data ownership model
No operational baseline
Lie #2 - Change control can be added later
By the time change is taken seriously, the data is already contaminated.
Uncontrolled item creation
Shadow processes everywhere
Lie #3 - Engineers will adapt
They do - by avoiding the system.
Local spreadsheets
Offline BOMs
Personal tracking systems
Why Delta PLM exists
Delta PLM was created to address the organisational discipline behind PLM failure - not just the technical symptoms.
