PDM system, also known as product data management, that is, product data managementmen, is very important to the operation of enterprises, and PDM is generally suitable for the whole life cycle management of product design and production within medium and large enterprises. However, the operation of PDM systems cannot be successful only by new engineering introductions. For example, the implementation of the project must have a clear understanding of the organizational structure, cultural characteristics and process improvement goals of the implementing enterprise, and the basic elements of PDM implementation are as follows.
1. Promote implementation step by step.
The application of PDM system in the enterprise is not achieved overnight, it needs to be promoted step by step, and the measurable goals are determined at each stage of implementation, and the work of the latter stage is based on the success of the previous stage.
2. Top-down solution design and development.
Before moving forward with the implementation of the PDM system, we use tools such as Use Cases to define customer needs and analyze business priorities at the business level. At the same time, the gap between the existing system functions and the actual requirements is obtained. Analyze what can be benefited in the shortest possible time. And plan the implementation phase according to the specific business organization. With the help of the PDM system, a risk analysis is carried out on each aspect of the implementation.

3. Bottom-up familiarization and configuration
The implementation of a PDM system can be implemented and started on the basis of the existing functions of the system, combined with top-down business analysis. This allows the customer to quickly understand the functions provided by the PDM system, understand what configuration needs to be done in the system, what needs to be customized, and what needs to be developed new functions. Use the PDM system functions to implement the configuration as much as possible, and reduce the customization as much as possible, so as to reduce the resource occupation and reduce the project risk.
Fourth, the discontinuous implementation phase.
Through the PDM system, enterprises can clearly define the stages of small-scale implementation tasks, reduce the risk of all aspects, obtain the recognition of customers at each stage, and ensure that after the completion of each stage of implementation, customers can really benefit when the PDM system is put into operation. Because many tasks are difficult to define and estimate in advance during the implementation of the PDM system, only according to the specific problems of the specific subordination, continuous adjustment, is the implementation of the PDM system can be in line with the reality, coordinated with the pace of the enterprise, to adapt to the operation mode of the enterprise.
As a product data management system, the PDM system is a system for collaborative management of product data, mainly focusing on product data, BOM sheets, review and approval processes, document version control, etc., which plays an important role in the coordinated development of enterprises.
