17 Main challenges: Deployment and Management of Change Achieved Target 10 Management and 45 communication events for users 125 topic specific events users in training sessions accesses on the PEP PDM intranet monthly users every day Challenges Roll-Out of new process methods based on a new IT solution for every new product line in the PEP-PDM solution Present focus on maintaining product data, need to focus also on data consumers Many specific reports available, but more flexibility needed

18 Main challenges: Complexity: Power User Occasional User Achieved Target One consistent structure one system Power User Challenges Manage complexity More users with different roles on the same product data Support complex processes on complex UIs for power user Support specific process for occasional users Planned Response Support Role specific UIs for occasional users to reduce complexity 18

19 Main challenges: Performance Achieved Target One consistent structure one system PV010 PV020 PV030 PV040 PV010 PV010 PV030 For one vehicle product line: Current number of component variants: Total: Without history: Expected volume increase: Structure components will double every two years. Challenges Manage permanently increasing high data volume for Maintain product structure Product structure reporting Product structure explosion Planned Response Provide data for consumer processes in various systems at night Parallelization of explosion process on different application servers Manage raising requirements Evaluate new methods Simulate emerging data volume 19

21 Summary PDM The PDM Core is being used and important processes are supported. Our vision became reality - we have at any given time a transparently and binding view in PEP* where the vehicle stands concerning product and process. Roll-Outs to further product lines are in planning. We have an increasing number of users and processes on the provided product data. We still have to work on reducing complexity, to get the product data accessible for all users. We have to design the solution in order to cope with the continuously increasing data volume. 21
