International conference on product life cycle, modeling, simulation & synthesis

International conference on product life cycle, modeling, simulation  & synthesis
Conference Theme

         Launching new products in less time and at a lower cost is a challenge. To be successful and turn products into profits, a system that helps create higher quality products is the need of the hour. With the advent of Information and Internet Technologies, a product lifecycle management system will be helpful in controlling the production processes. This conference aims at bringing academicians, researchers, and practitioners from industry together, to share their knowledge and solutions to address the challenges, best practices and the new benchmarks set in the disciplines of product life cycle.
