Primary definitions: PLM terms (nouns) Term Description Source / Usage Product An item that identifies a unit of delivery Product configuration The constitution of product, defined directly or indirectly through an expression Product variant or version A modified or alternative product configuration Product variation The ability to host or define multiple product variants within a more generalised product Product variant effectivity The evaluation of variation to yield a relevant context or configuration, such as by date or production plan Product view An available or prevailing configuration or context Product option A means e. g. an element, that varies a product configuration or context Product history All of the modified versions of a product Product configuration parameter evaluated to define a product configuration AP 239 DEX 003 Product variant condition parameter Evaluate to define product variant OSLC PLM Workgroup AP 239 DEX 003 6
