The answer to “What parts like this one have we processed before?" is a stepping stone to making informed decisions that support greater efficiency. The part you are about to design might already exist. Consolidation of suppliers of similar parts is an opportunity to negotiate a better price. This data exists within the enterprise but is scattered – hidden in plain sight – by the inconsistent naming that confounds traditional search.

Shape Search finds similar parts no matter how they have been named and enables informed decisions in virtually every aspect of PLM, from design to process planning to procurement

Leverages JT

JT is a popular file format used to exchange 3D data. Detailed information about JT can be found elsewhere on this web site. 3D Shape Search reads JT, VRML, and STL. JT geometry can be created from most popular CAD systems, making 3D CAD-neutral. Since JT is part of the workflow of so many PLM processes many companies can adopt 3D for little more than the cost of the software licenses, while increasing the return on their continued investment into JT.

Quality can be defined as the enabler for excellence. The quality offering helps companies by supporting the entire product lifecycle, from planning to production and back to the lessons learned for a new planning iteration. This holistic solution performs functions in all stages, positively impacting product and process quality and efficiency throughout the product development process.

Boost your quality planning best practices

Integrating quality planning in the design phase is critical to competitive advantage. Engineering data provides the information needed to successfully manage quality projects and helps you mitigate risks in both virtual and real products. Leveraging CAD and PMIs helps you create control plans to inspect critical elements during production.

Teamcenter Quality keeps product development, quality planning and continuous improvement processes in synchronization and maximizes the value of the change management and configuration management capabilities of Teamcenter. Core quality processes can leverage and interoperate with product design and 3D data using a common change management process.

Quality planning Quality project management supports the complete product development process, across all areas of the company with trace ability for all deliverables for better collaboration of engineering, manufacturing and quality management.

Failure mode and effects analysis provides an advanced tool for identifying and mitigating risks from potential failures in the virtual product and process structures to avoid potential costly defects with damaging effects during the lifecycle of the real product.

Control and inspection planning holds the process steps and activities to control critical elements during manufacturing processes where potential risks could not be mitigated completely but controlled systematically to identify defective parts.

Streamlined, accessible user interface

Teamcenter Quality is exposed through a modern and innovative web-based user interface accessible on any modern computing device without a client or plug-in installation. The touch-enabled, intuitive interface is optimized to support both mobile and desktop devices.

Improve your product and process quality continuously

Capture complaints and nonconformances from both internal and external sources. Streamline continuous improvement by analyzing and resolving quality issues through a central problem-solving process. Enable faster responses and reduce quality costs by directly linking your quality and change management processes.

Verification and Validation solutions deliver the highest verification throughput and coverage enabling customers to develop the industry’s most complex designs.

The Design Verification Plan (DVP) Management is one of the Critical Activity in Product Development. DVP Management ensures that the Product or Part Designed & Developed meets the Requirements defined by Internal Specification as well as the External Specification like Regulatory Authorities.

DVP Management – NPD Scenario, where the DVPs are finalized at the starting of the Project through DVP Finalization Process. The finalized DVPs are tracked for the Completion through DVP Execution Process.

DVP Management – CPD Scenario, where the design of the Part / System of existing Products gets modified / changed due to various reasons like addressing the field failures, cost re-engineering and improvised design etc. These updated Part / System are verified through applicable DVPs Execution Process.

To enable you to continuously and systematically improve your product offerings, we provide best practice solutions for rapid change and full change management using the world’s leading PLM digital enterprise backbone. Our Solutions’ advanced workflow capability enables you to accurately plan, incorporate, verify and assess the impact of product changes. You can leverage this capability to reduce effort and cycle time required to implement your change process

This best practice leverages a formal process that takes advantage of multiple change documents (e.g., problem reports, change requests/ proposals, strategies and change notices) and extensive implementation planning to manage product change repeatedly and systematically in accordance with the requirements of the industry-standard CMII closed-loop change model.

Teamcenter enables you to create roles-based change processes to ensure that the “right” people in your extended enterprise makes decisions or perform assigned work tasks on a timely basis. The Solution leverage’s role definitions to automatically present change implementers with a user interface That matches their assigned change tasks.

Teamcenter leverages product structure definitions managed by your PLM enterprise backbone. As a result, you can:

1. -Evaluate the impact of individual product changes
2. -Create streamlined work breakdown structures that can be injected into your implementation plan
3. -Audit the execution and completion of assigned work tasks
4. -Notify users when assigned change tasks need to be expedited
5. -Maintain a complete history of product changes executed during the product lifecycle
6. -Verify conformance to documented requirements
7. -Track both planned and actual impacts to the product information associated with your proposed changes

Requirements are the blueprint for product development, but traditional paper and document-driven approaches to requirements management are not sufficient for meeting complex customer needs. As a product developer, you must ensure your products will be compliant by design with the whole set of use case scenarios.

To stay ahead of product development challenges and keep your customers’ needs top of mind, adopt a modern data-driven approach by implementing a product lifecycle management (PLM) system. By doing so, you can leverage an open, interoperable and flexible backbone which will manage the comprehensive digital twin and provide an integrated requirements and verification solution.

55% of product development leaders cite faster time-to-market as the top goal of their design documentation improvement efforts.

51% of product development leaders state that they actively pursue design documentation improvements to avoid downstream development delays and resulting costs.

33% of product development leaders report that the top goal of their design documentation improvement efforts is to address increasing complexity. An additional 39% rank it as the second most important objective.
