PTC Manufacturing Process Management Solution
PTC Manufacturing Process Management Solution Product Planning: Virtual to Physical The PTC Manufacturing Process Management solution helps companies define critical manufacturing information such as required parts, processes, skills, resources, and facilities earlier in the product lifecycle to quickly ramp up production of new products. Since engineering and manufacturing teams now share a single source of design and planning information with a common data model, consistent processes can now streamline the transition from development to production, thus reducing engineering change orders and improving quality. Key benefits Improve time-to-market by rapidly moving products from design to production Increase brand quality by reducing engineering-to-manufacturing production issues Improve production ramp times by leveraging design data in process planning Reduce engineering change orders and rework Streamline collaboration with global, multi-site production environments Page 2 of 7
The PTC Manufacturing Process Management solution helps companies with production planning as they transition their products from virtual to physical. 10-50 % 31 % Fewer defects per million experienced Time-to-manufacturing reduction 1 by best-in-class PLM/Quality companies 2 1. CIMData based on PTC customer interviews 2. Aberdeen Group, Closed Loop Quality Management, June 2011 With the PTC Manufacturing Process Management solution, companies can dramatically reduce timeto-manufacturing while driving down production costs. StreetScooter, GmbH In our production process, we use elements of the PTC platform to organize the workflow and handle all the parts in-house so if there is any change in the engineering department, we will see it directly here in our manufacturing process. Oliver Bachem, Director of Operations and Manufacturing, StreetScooter, GmbH Hitachi Rail Systems Part inventory levels and component and materials procurement processes have been optimized. The Hitachi manufacturing team is now able to create more accurate plans, and has reduced its production lead-time, from component order through car assembly completion, by 20 percent.
