Abstract
Supply chain management and early involvement of suppliers into product development process is one of the key elements of concurrent engineering. Internet based Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system can improve communication between customers and suppliers. In the case study is presented a communication model and configuration of the PLM system that supports a second tier system supplier in automotive industry and its sub-suppliers. First set of activities is during the development phase of the project and later for engineering change management. The method of work and documents structure is based on the automotive industry practice [2] and it is upgraded with some specific solutions. We believe that this concept can be applied also to other types of production. The product data model is a core of all activities in the product development process therefore it is used as a backbone. PLM system is used to manage product data and it is a key connection between customer and supplier. PLM system does not replace personal communication, face to face meetings and product validation. PLM system is a meeting point where people can get and upload product data. In this way they can work more efficiently.
