There is a really bad example of a rotary intersection in Massachusetts near Concord, where highway traffic (45 to 55 MPH) is suddenly interrupted with 25 MPH rotary. It causes stop and go traffic where a traffic light would allow traffic to flow more freely along the primary route. From my limited experience with them, they work best with very light traffic.

Especially the analogy. Having a strategy in place, forming an idea of what we want and putting a plan around what is to be accomplished is seemingly one area where PLM projects many times fail to get a grip on. PLM projects need to be looked at from business transformation perspective, change management perspective and 'people perspective'! PS: Am a great fan of Gordon Ramsey's show Hells Kithchen too :-) Like the style of presentation. Especially the analogy.

Thank you for your comments. I agree that PLM is only part of the vital parts that feed the whole alongside systems like ERP. If the systems are the mechanisms to gather the data from the body and to coordinate the reaction then I think that it is the people involved in the process that act as the brain to make the decisions. Of course, it's how you get the people to act as one brain that makes the difference :-) Hello Dave and Seed. Thank you for your comments.

Thanks for your comments again. I loved your relation between the Marketing Filter and the kidney. I think that you are onto something there as a tool to remove the "unwanted toxins". The phrase "garbage in, garbage out" is never truer than within a PLM context. After all, time wasted trying to make an ill though out idea work distract from the ones that will deliver real business benefit. (btw, hope you enjoyed the colloquialism there ... I would have said "rubbish in, rubbish out" otherwise ;-) ) In my mind, PLM is part of the processes that make up the running of an organisation alongside other processes like ERP, S&OP, etc. However, in linking PLM into the overall strategy and these other processes I think it offers a great opportunity to get people thinking in a holistic sense that coordinates the body parts towards a common goal.
