Product Life Cycle Process
The product life-cycle theory is an economic
theory that was developed by Raymond
Vernon in 1966.
3. Product Life Cycle (PLC)
• Just as people go through infancy, childhood, adulthood and old
age, so too do products and brands. And just as we swing from
being needy, to being overall contributors to our families or to
society, and then back to being needy again over the course of our
lives, so – in effect – do products.
The four phases usually used to describe a product's life cycle are:
1) Introduction.
2) Growth.
3) Maturity.
4) Decline.
4. PLC Goals
• The goals of Product Life Cycle management (PLM) are to reduce time to
market, improve product quality, reduce prototyping costs, identify potential
sales opportunities and revenue contributions, and reduce environmental
impacts at end-of-life.
• To create successful new products the company must understand its
customers, markets and competitors. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
integrates people, data, processes and business systems.
• It provides product information for companies and their extended supply
chain enterprise.
