The U.S. Department of Defense expended a huge effort in establishing the product configuration management discipline and supporting standards. The foundation of product lifecycle management can be traced to many of these historical standards.
You may find these documents useful for designing your own PLM system. However, you should keep in mind that many of these were authored decades ago, and include concepts that may be irrelevant in a modern computer-based PLM system.
We have also included a selection of design-related standards for assisting in your product development.
