Assembly Government, IBM, Swansea University and the Welsh Development
Agency. By helping establish this
Centre of Excellence -- in collaboration with the WDA and Swansea
University -- IBM will help bring this same expertise to small and
medium-sized businesses in Wales, enabling them to reap the benefits of
PLM. It is particularly important to the
automotive sector, as European directives and imminent legislation
regarding vehicle 'end of life' places responsibility on manufacturers
to dispose of vehicles in an environmentally sensitive way, ensuring
component recycling.
