Unfortunately, despite its global success, the adoption of PLM is struggling to gain traction in South Africa. This makes it difficult for local engineering and manufacturing firms to compete in the global market and maintain proper control of their products as they progress through the different life stages. This paper presents the drivers and factors to consider during selection and implementation of a PLM business approach.enProduct lifecycle managementPLMIndustry manufacturingEnterprise ontologiesConference PresentationJacob, M., & Erasmus, J.
