This paper presents and discusses an analysis of the industrialization and manufacturing steps within the Product Life cycle Management (PLM) context. Initially, PLM was focused almost exclusively on the product design, but nowadays, it tends to cover all the stages of the product life cycle. In the same time, the industrialization and the manufacturing are not sufficiently integrated into the PLM solutions. Actually, there is much to be gained by extending the coverage of PLM to production stage in order to lead to interaction. This coverage depends on several features (for instance the frequency of product data modification). It also leads to an information exchange then to a classification of these information into categories. The main purpose of this paper is to study how to extend the PLM coverage of the life cycle stages by defining a mapping between information categories and the Information Systems (IS), which manages product manufacturing, for each feature.
