PLM Solution Packages
Automotive Supplier Package
Automotive suppliers are facing ever-growing complexity and as a result, they are required to meet the demands of OEMs as well manage their respective supply chain. PLM helps them to control that complexity.
LMtec provides a process and functional-based Automotive Supplier Package (ASP) to help you define your PLM strategy and integrate your Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers.
The Teamcenter ASP leads to an integrated process-oriented solution.
The ASP enables you to address the complexity of varying business processes throughout the supply chain by providing a set of predefined data models and functional solutions that can accelerate your product development process, reduce silos of information and enhance the value chain collaboration
Global E-BOM M-BOM Management
While the engineering bill-of-material (EBOM) is the as-designed functional view of a product created during development, the manufacturing bill-of-material (MBOM) as one of its derivatives shows a specific product view used for global production planning (as-planned) and material sourcing purposes representing aspects like:
In-process-assemblies
Make or buy sourcing decisions
Multi-location support for manufacturing planning
Product and process costing
LMtec enables customers to focus on component manufacturing and assembly planning processes by defining global and local MBOM concepts. Our experts will guide customers through the process of setting up an MBOM framework containing:
Global MBOM strategy
MBOM localization support production planning for multiple manufacturing facilities
MBOM change and release processes with hand-over to ERP for manufacturing execution
Engineer to Order
Engineer-to-order (ETO) products, allow you to give your customers exactly what they need when they need it and at a price, they can afford. When you offer this level of end to end service, you can ensure that you stand out from the competition
This approach is often used in civil engineering, plant engineering, and the development and manufacturing of special parts. The process consists of mainly four different phases…
LMtec offers extensive consulting know-how in the area of ETO processes for various industries as well as tool expertise with a focus on Siemens solutions, RuleStream and Teamcenter.
As part of our consulting activities, we offer special process know-how when implementing ETO solutions within your organization. Our expertise spans from design and planning phases to As-Built management and Service Engineering (As-Maintained) utilizing integrated BOM management as a data backbone.
During all phases of an ETO project, various documentation types need to be managed. As part of our portfolio, LMtec offers a Teamcenter ETO project template that manages:
Customer orders and customer projects
Pre-defined folder structures for project documentation including templates for varying documentation types
Pre-defined workflows for document and folder release with related access control
Documentation classification according to industry standards
Compliance Management
Substance compliance is the process of validating parts used in your companies products conform to environmental regulations. Parts that fulfill these regulations are said to be environmentally compliant…
Challenges during the substance compliance process are:
Product complexity
Globalization of products and suppliers
Large range of supplied parts
Various regulations and standards which are updated with high frequency
Our experts analyze your compliance management process and will help you to configure Teamcenter Compliance Management to best fit your requirements and compliance process.
Master Data Governance
Data governance is a control that ensures data entry by an operations team member or by automated processes meets precise standards, such as a business rule, a data definition, and data integrity constraints in the data model. The data governor uses data quality monitoring against production data to communicate errors back to operational team members, or to a technical support team for corrective action. Data governance is used by organizations to exercise control over processes and methods used by their data stewards and data custodians in order to improve data quality.
Data Governance in Teamcenter
In a Teamcenter database, the data is subject to constant change. However, some of these changes can also lead to undesirable results, such as in the release of documents and parts. Some reasons for the undesirable results:
Incomplete or improper migration of old data stock…
Didn’t take into account changes in business processes that affect the existing data…
Previous release errors…
Application usage errors…
Our Experience & Tools
Consulting in setting up data governance in Teamcenter
Development of concepts and rules
Introduction of quality requirements and training
Configuration of Teamcenter and Validation Framework
CNO VALIDATION FRAMEWORK enables validation of:
Status values to previous revisions
Attributes in forms
Relations between Teamcenter objects (part to document, part to BOM, part to part, etc.)
Empty files and much more
Easily configure validation criteria to keep up with changing requirements. Here are some of the ways you can validate:
in the form of a report showing the target-actual deviation
in the context of workflows using handler
as a rich client application for interactive validation
Mechatronic BOM Management
Mechatronic engineering greatly reduces development times and sources of errors. In the age of industry 4.0 harmonization between engineering disciplines is key to success, as such; we need to move away from the classical sequential BOM management of individual disciplines to synchronized BOMs.
