Product Life Cycle Support (PLCS)ISO 10303-239
»A joint industry and government initiative to accelerate development of new standards for product support information
»An international project to produce an approved ISO standard within 4 years
− Commenced November 1999
− PLCS, Inc closed down 2004
− Standard published in 2005
− Edition 2 published in 2012
»PLCS will ensure support information is aligned to the evolving product definition over the entire life cycle
»PLCS extends ISO 10303 STEP - the STandard for Exchange of Product model data
C O P Y R I G H T E U R O S T E P G R O U P
PLCS Background and Design Objectives How to keep the information needed to operate and maintain a product aligned with the changing
product over its life cycle in a heterogeneous organization, process and system environment?

Design Objectives» To avoid encoding business rules
» To enable incremental growth of data over the life cycle
− Has to support a data warehouse perspective, not just the exchange of snapshots
» To allow for but not require complexity
− PLCS is a large model that reflects the needed capabilities
− Individual areas can be handled in a minimal fashion
» Data Exchange Specifications (DEXs)
» To support the legacy approaches (standards)
− Enable smarter more joined up approaches too!

Relationship to other standards
C O P Y R I G H T E U R O S T E P G R O U P
» Eurostep started on Share-A-space™
in late 1999 based on STEP AP214
» Eurostep’s implementations of PLCS
is connected to Share-A-space™
» PLCS is one of the main ways to input
into Share-A-space™
− Consolidation is based on capabilities
from PLCS
