LIFE-CYCLE MANAGEMENT ARC GUARD SYSTEMS (POLICY AND SERVICES)

ABB’s products are designed for continuous evolution. It is ABB’s goal to protect our customers’ investment beyond the life-cycles of the underlying platform products. Product Life-cycle Management or LCM is a term used for the process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product from its conception, through design and manufacture to service. LCM is a set of capabilities that enable an enterprise to effectively and efficiently innovate and manage its products and related services throughout the entire business lifecycle. Following LCM directives, ABB has divided the manufactured products into four phases as showed below.
