Embedded Product Lifecycle Management (EPLM) refers to the entire process of managing the development, production, deployment, and maintenance of embedded software or hardware products. It encompasses all stages from concept and design to manufacturing, distribution, and even retirement or decommissioning of the product.
EPLM involves various activities such as requirements management, design and development, testing and validation, production planning, supply chain management, quality control, and ongoing support and maintenance. It aims to ensure the efficient and effective management of the entire product lifecycle, from its inception to its end-of-life.
