SAP PLM Workflow Business Driver Strategic business model change from larger change packages to smaller packages Current change package bundling is based on manufacturing implementation slots Changes are introduced to production once a month Result: Large, relatively hard to handle, change packages Target: Bundle by design Smaller more nimble package designs
SAP PLM Workflow Challenges Several international locations involved in the business process Different Caterpillar locations are using different processes 2 locations came up with their own system based workflow 1 location designed a object based the other location a package based workflow Harmonization of all workflow into a common centralized workflow necessary Centralized workflow should be more efficient as past workflow
SAP PLM Workflow Business Driver Current: One Change Package containing non related items from different areas of the machine Package X
SAP PLM Workflow Business Driver Future: Several Change Package driven by design needs Package X Package Z Package Y Package A

Workflow Phases Request Product Change Pre-Release Release
Workflow Phases - Request Create Request Request Coordinator Create Change Request and select Originators plant Check Change Request Approve / Disapprove Request Product Change Pre-Release Release Rental Review Check if this change impacts rental business. Investor Review Check if this change impacts investor business. Retail Review Check if this change impacts retails business. Request Coordinator Background Task Review Rental, Investor and/or Retail comments and make final decision on the request Background task to start next workflow phase
Workflow Phases - Request
