The implementation of a PLM is a great process of change, representing a critical phase due to the inertia that characterizes some organizations. This evidence especially occurs in industry new to PLM, such as the fashion one, where a lack of clear guidelines for implementation significantly increases the risk of failure of that process. In addition, an adequate project management approach that actively includes final users during the whole process will avoid the mismatch between outcomes and requirements. To support an efficient and effective introduction of PLM, it is then important to define a structured implementation method that involves all interested users from the early stages. A literature review has been conducted as preliminary step to investigate if bottom-up approaches to PLM implementation in fashion industry have already been studied. Based on the evidences from literature review, a framework was therefore defined, detailing the step-by-step procedure to follow for effectively implement a PLM considering the peculiarities of the fashion industry. To give evidence of the applicability of the proposed framework, it has been successfully used during the implementation process of a PLM software in a real context. The Italian company involved in the case study, Graziella, belongs to the gold-working district of Arezzo, in Tuscany, and has been working for more than 60 years in the gold jewellery sector.

PLM的实施是一个巨大的变革过程，由于某些组织的惯性，它代表了一个关键阶段。此证据尤其发生在PLM的新行业中，例如时尚行业，在该行业中缺乏明确的实施准则会大大增加该过程失败的风险。此外，在整个过程中积极包含最终用户的适当项目管理方法将避免结果和需求之间的不匹配。为了支持高效，有效地引入PLM，重要的是定义一种结构化的实现方法，该方法应使早期所有感兴趣的用户都参与其中。已经进行了文献综述，作为调查时尚行业中实施PLM的自下而上方法的初步步骤。因此，基于文献综述的证据，定义了一个框架，详细介绍了要遵循的分步程序，以有效考虑服装行业的特殊性来有效实施PLM。为了证明所提出框架的适用性，已在实际环境中成功地在PLM软件的实施过程中使用了该框架。参与案例研究的意大利公司Graziella属于托斯卡纳阿雷佐（Arezzo）黄金加工区，在黄金珠宝行业已有60多年的历史。考虑到时尚行业的特殊性，详细介绍了为有效实施PLM而应遵循的分步过程。为了证明所提出框架的适用性，已在实际环境中成功地在PLM软件的实施过程中使用了该框架。参与案例研究的意大利公司Graziella属于托斯卡纳阿雷佐（Arezzo）黄金加工区，在黄金珠宝行业已有60多年的历史。考虑到时尚行业的特殊性，详细介绍了为有效实施PLM而应遵循的分步过程。为了证明所提出框架的适用性，已在实际环境中成功地在PLM软件的实施过程中使用了该框架。参与案例研究的意大利公司Graziella属于托斯卡纳阿雷佐（Arezzo）黄金加工区，在黄金珠宝行业已有60多年的历史。
