CORE DRIVERS OF PLMHow can PLM support your business?


JPC

Understanding Business

Business

– Wikipedia: Being busy, doing commercially viable and profitable work

Business Processes:

– Develop Products

– Manufacture Products

– Sell Products

– Deliver Products

– Satisfy Customers/ Markets

All Business Processes are going to be supported by Information Technology


Develop

Manufacture

Sell

Deliver

Satisfy

Slide: 5


JPC

Business is using Information Technology to achieve business objectives

Information Technology

– Corporation resource with strategic and operational capabilities

– General Services:

– Infrastructure, Datacenter Services, Workplace and Network Services

– Approaches to support business processes:

– PLM – Product Lifecycle Management

– ERP – Enterprise Resource Management

• MRP – Manufacturing Resource Planning

• SCM – Supply Chain Management

• CRM – Customer Relationship Management

Cooperation between Business and IT is are prerequisites to success

Business/ Information Technology Alignment

What is PLM?

PLM stands for “Product Lifecycle Management”

Wikipedia: The process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product

– From its Conception, through

– Design and

– Manufacture, to

– Service and

– Disposal

There exist a lot more sophisticated definitions

PLM is managing intellectual assets

A product is essential

– Wikipedia: Product: An item that ideally satisfies a market's want or need



JPC

Value of Products

Engineers define 80% of the costs and value of a (physical) product

– Industrial Design

– Research & Development

– Laboratories

– Manufacturing Engineering

– Quality Management

Costs can be cut everywhere, unless you have the products your customers want...

For most of the products in the market there are alternatives for customers, by

– Price

– Quality

– Functionality

– Service

Improvement in one of the areas might lead to an advantage



JPC

Elements of Product Lifecycle Management

Core element of PLM is a single secure data storage (Vault)

– To provide:

– Secure Access

– Managed Data

– Reliable Information

– To capture:

– Relevant Product Information

– Design Intent

– Intellectual Property

– Purpose:

– Provide and share data/ information: serving the business

– Relate different information to each other

Using various tools in an digital environments

Integration is the key

JPC

Example 1

A PLM System will hold all specifications for a component of your product

A structured, managed File System could do the same

– As long as this is fix for good, no problem

– But things change!

A PLM system is helping you to manage a change on products and their components

By linking all relevant information

– Specifications

– Analysis Data

– Technical Directives

– Involved Products, Suppliers

– Effectivity

– etc

Scheduling actions to implement the change with minimum impact to customers



JPC

Today's Challenges in Development and Manufacturing

Distributed development centres, Concurrent engineering

A-synchronic development in platform or competence centres

Development around the clock: 24/7

On-site/ Off-Shore supplier integration

Increasingly mobile engineers

Complex environments for engineers

IT provides tools for every purpose, but from different suppliers

Working with different databases

Managing export and import of data

Different GUI’s and different application behaviour

Answer to increasing complexity: Simplification is needed

Slide: 14


JPC

Engineering Complexity

Products getting more and more complex

Authoring tools bring their own data formats, structures, management systems

Distributed environment

– Several locations of development and manufacturing

– Multiple time zones

– Multiple languages

PLM is helping to manage complex environments

– Single point of managed access

– Using standards, e.g. Viewing: PDF, TIFF, JT

– Integrating all disciplines

– Automating processes



JPC

Example 2

Environments are getting complicated the more elements it includes

Continuing with the Engineering Change Process example ...

PLM is helping to manage change that is going to be implemented by suppliers,that are working off-site and do not have direct access to (your) data

Contracts for the supplier have to be

– prepared and

– signed

Data have to be

– Collected and exported (sent) to the supplier

– Protected against change as long as it is in-work

– Validated when the result returns

– Re-imported when the change is implemented

Information have to be managed for all company divisions that are affected



JPC

Productivity

Wikipedia: Measure of output from a (production) process, per unit of input

A single secure data storage implicitly leads to

– Reduction of independent data silos

– Chance to link information

Base to

– Organization of data and information

– Re-use of knowledge

– Automation of processes

– Integration of different solutions

– Quicker decision making

PLM is helping to improve productivity



JPC

Example 3

Productivity is measured as time that is needed to get a change into production


PLM is helping to provide the right information to the right people in the process chain

To implement a change request

– Requests or problems have to be understood

– Alternatives have to be evaluated

– Test have to be done and analysed

– Solutions to be implemented

– Documentation have to be updated

– Decisions have to be proposed and approved

The quicker information is accessible, the sooner people are in a position to decide

Automation based on templates is helping to formalize processes and save time

Production can be provided beforehand with information regarding a change



JPC

Collaboration

Wikipedia: A recursive process where two or more people or organizationswork together in an intersection of common goals

We are not alone, life and work is distributed! Engineering is mobile already

Networks connect distributed environments

In Engineering: efficiency comes with specialisation

Not only that several disciplines are involved in development and manufacturing of a products

They are not at the same location!

Collaboration is essential andPLM supports collaboration

Access for all participants

– Independent of physical location

– Managed, with in-house colleaguesand external suppliers

Example 4

When collaboration is working together on the same project


Being the source of information, a PLM System is supporting collaboration

PLM will provide and make sure

– Consistent information for concurrent team work

– Access to responsible teams in the change process

– Team members are informed of updates, by notification

– Teams will know who is online (presents information)

– Contact information for team members, suppliers and partners

– Sharing the same data in ad-hoc conferences

To support multi- disciplined collaboration

– Different types of data are cross linked

– Different views to the same set of data

– > 5%

– Don’t know



JPC

Comprehensive IT Strategy

Business focus: The Product

Align IT Strategy toward Business needs

– Managing intellectual assets (Product Development Processes): PLM

– Based on Infrastructure that is

– Open for Integration and

– Supports Collaboration

Select Strategic Partners

Use Standards

Secure Investments


Infrastructure

Partnership

YourProduct PLMERP


JPC

Consistent Process Knowledge

Knowing and document your business processes is mandatory

Process environments change

– from Paper

– to Digitizing

– to Automation

Basic process principles do not change

In order to implement processes towards automation:

– Document Processes

– As Reference, as Specification

Prerequisite to manage change (consistently) caused from

– Business

– Organization

– Technology



JPC

Simplification


Working environments getting complex too

When implementing PLM

– Standardization before Individual Solutions

– Overall Optimization before Sub- Optimization

– Re-Use before Re-Invent

– Classification before Individualization

– Abstraction before Detailing
