DESIGN DATA IN THE ENTERPRISE
Design Data & Enterprise Data
Design Data
Design Data
• Models• Schematics• Drawings• Engineering Bill of
Materials (CAD)
• Design attributes– Material– Finish– Mass Properties– Etc.
• Description• Model State / Status
Any part of the large quantity of information defining the product. For example:
Design Data
Iterated before prototype or production
- 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7

CHALLENGES TO MAXIMIZING VALUE
We will dive into the pains companies’ face and what solutions are best for a company
Pain PointsZero Wait-State business architecture uncovers pain points in customer processes.
Pain Points
1. Information Accuracy and Consistency Problems
2. Business Process Sequencing Problems3. Visibility and Timing Problems
Zero Wait-State business architecture uncovers pain points in customer processes.
Information Accuracy Problems
• Manual information entry to product record
• Manual or incorrect BOM information
• BOM structure different between design and manufacturing
• Item BOM out of sequence
Information Accuracy Problems
• Lost time entering and fixing information
• Repeated lost time with changes due to BOM structure differences in manufacturing and engineering
• Products not meeting requirements
Process Sequencing Problems
• Engineer changes made to incorrect design revision
• Incorrect revisions sent to prototype or manufacturer
• Proto builds confused with production builds
• Design feedback from manufacturer or internal SME is based on incorrect design revision
Process Sequencing Problems
• Lost time reconciling revision mismatches
• Additional prototypes needed costs time and material
• Reduced product quality
Visibility and Timing Problems
• Lack of design collaboration for DFx• Visibility to design is not available when
needed• Lack of visibility to Critical Component
status during design• Untimely updates of information• Lack of visibility for sourcing• Race conditions and confusion (first
change in wins)
Visibility and Timing Problems
• Lower quality, higher cost due to lack of input
• Lost opportunity for early interventions and improvements
• New rev required to swap or fix parts
SOLUTIONS
What can we do?
Maximizing Value
Information Accuracy Problems
• Automated information flow• Connected Design and
Enterprise Product Definition
Process Sequencing Problems
• Automated processes• Provide data visibility
through a referenced source (PLM)
• Connected information
Visibility and Timing Problems
• Right information at right time
• Human intervention only when necessary
MAXIMIZING DATA VALUE
See what’s up next!
Maximizing Data Value
DesignState Engineering Collaboration
• Provide visibility between enterprise and engineering team
• Link design and enterprise change management• Integrate CAD systems with Enterprise PLM• Leverage product design data throughout the enterprise
