TRACKBJohn A. Williams Ballroom FUtilizing PDM as an Enterprise Information System —Richard Seehafer, Motorola AutomotiveThe product design process is both an information generatorand information consumer. Businesses run on this information.Maintaining a competitive advantage depends on informationbeing current, meaningful and available to all businessfunctions. It also depends on information being secure andmanaged at all times. Product Data Managers were initiallydeveloped to manage engineering documentation. Theybecame, in effect, data archiving systems or 'vaults' for storinginformation in a central place for security and accessibility.Information flow was either nonexistent or secondary as afeature in the system. PDM systems have evolved into systemscapable of managing data through process control andinformation distribution throughout critical business functions.They may now be sued as information tools to share andmaintain product information.

1:30pm - 3:00pm TRACK C: Discussion GroupsJohn A. Williams Ballroom AManaging Data from Multiple CAD Projects — DavidTorchia, Northrup GrummanMost significant manufacturers operate in a heterogeneousenvironment in which they receive design data from multiplesources that employ a variety of CAD systems. Managing thisheterogeneous data can generate unique PDM related problems.These problems and the most appropriate methods foroperating in this environment will be discussed in this groupsession.(Limited to 30 people only)

TRACK D: Discussion GroupJohn A. Williams Ballroom BThe Role of STEP in PDM — Bodo Machner, Pro/STEPand Philip Rosche, PDES, Inc.This discussion group will investigate what STEP is, where itis today, and the role that the STEP standard can play in PDM,integration and exchange of information. Topics to be coveredinclude why use STEP as a neutral core data model for PDM,case studies from current projects, the unified STEP PDMschema, interface development, and a discussion of vendorsthat are adopting the STEP PDM approaches.(Limited to 30 people only)
