Nowadays, in industry, the interoperability of Information Systems throughout the product's life cycle is primordial for a successful Product Lifecycle Management approach. However, there are still scientific and technological locks that prevent the integration of information between enterprise Information Systems. Especially, the lack of interoperability between Product Data Management systems, Manufacturing Process

This paper presents firstly a literature review of research works developed to define and solve the problems of interoperability in general terms. Then, it exposes most of the recent works on interoperability on the product development linking the different Product Lifecycle Management tools. Finally we proposed an approach to guarantee the interoperability of Product Data Management, Manufacturing Process Management and Enterprise Resource Planning systems.
