Manage complexity withsimplified PLMIt can take thousands – perhapsmillions – of decisions to create a greatproduct. Not just the big milestone decisions,but all the small decisions that lead up tothem. Anyone in your extended enterprisecan make a decision at any time that makes adifference in a product’s success or failure.Add to this the complexity of your products.As technology becomes more sophisticated,electronic and software components are justas essential as mechanical parts. Yet, theinterfaces between components are all toooften overlooked until late in the development process.Product lifecycle management (PLM) canbring together all the product information andprocesses you need in one centralized system.You can take a systems-driven approach toproduct development to unify your productlifecycle. With PLM, you can weave a digitalthread through ideation, realization andutilization.Teamcenter software from Siemens PLMSoftware is all about PLM, simplified.You may need to factor in best practicesand formulas, and no matter what businessyou’re in, you must also consider regulatoryrequirements, environmental impact, cost andquality as you take a new product to market.Deliver increasingly complex productswhile maximizing productivity andstreamlining operations.2

Start with PLMManage mechanical, electronics,software and simulation data in asingle environment Do these challenges sound familiar? Keep global design teams in synch Understand how mechanical, electrical andsoftware designs work together Find the right design information Duplicate designs with too little re-use Enable design collaboration, managingdependencies and relationships Validate products and analysis quickly andaccuratelyTeamcenter can help you take control of yourmulti-CAD and multi-domain design processes, including mechanical, electronics,software and simulation data and managethat data from a single secure source. You canaccess, assemble and re-use your company’svaluable intellectual property and validate thequality and completeness of design databefore release to manufacturing.4Manage product documents andtechnical publicationsTeamcenter provides easy-to-use documentmanagement and technical authoring andpublishing tools to optimize documentation.Using the familiar Microsoft Office suite, youcan create and manage documents in accordance with product development processesand your data control protocols. This helpsyou establish a single source of productdevelopment knowledge for creating andmanaging documents.Document management includes version/revision control, workflow, data links toproduct data, printing controls for watermarksand stamping, and change management.Advanced authoring and publishing with XMLsimplifies the creation of structured documents, such as parts catalogs and servicemanuals, within the product developmentenvironment.
You can manage text, illustrations andtranslations, to support multi-media/channel publication and documentvariants with product developmentchange management.Manage the BOM and itsconfigurationTeamcenter provides a single, accurateproduct definition for all who interactwith the BOM. With a complete,up-to-date source of information, youeliminate the need for standalonespreadsheets and systems. This flexibleBOM definition helps you manageconfigurations and quickly refreshproduct lines to meet customerdemands.In many enterprise BOM approaches,you waste time digging throughout-of-scope information. WithTeamcenter, each user has secureaccess to a tailored BOM view that’srelevant to their role and tasks.Today, you might be relying on costlyprototypes, or virtual tests of only afew valid product configurations.Teamcenter ties your virtual and physical product definitions together todigitally validate your products, ensuring that what has been designed canactually be built.With Teamcenter, you can extend BOMmanagement across the lifecycle.Support up-front planning and masterproduct definition, through productconfiguration, design, manufacturing,service and more. You can integrateBOM information across other enterprise systems to eliminate costly errorsassociated with standalone BOMsources.Leverage project management andworkflow capabilities to effectivelymanage change. You can synchronizeand integrate change processes acrossall product domains to implementchange quickly, accurately andcomprehensively.Manage PLM processesWith Teamcenter, you can reduce themanual effort and cost of managing anyPLM process, regardless of how simpleor complex it is.

Timelines are automatically updated, deliverables arelinked and tracked, and project status isclearly understood. Connect projects tointegrated portfolio planning to ensureyou have the time, people, and moneyto meet your targets.Take control of yourdata and processes.5
Connect engineering,requirements, manufacturing,service and suppliers.6
Extend the value of PLMIncorporate the voice of the customerinto your productsGiving your customers what they want is a requirement forsuccess, yet it can be a challenge if customer requirementsare captured only in standalone documents that are hard tofind and out of date. Customer/contractual compliance maynot be fully implemented in the products you bring tomarket.With the aid of Teamcenter, you can: Reduce time and effort with a single source for generatingand managing requirement documents Improve quality by linking requirements to functional,logical and physical implementation so you can verifyand validate requirements are met Ensure compliance by defining, managing and tracingcustomer requirements across the entire product lifecycleImprove service operationsThe lack of a common, accurate asset/product knowledgebase inhibits efficient service lifecycle management. This canlead to ordering the wrong parts due to lack of asset configuration, status and history; lowering first-time fix rates andrepeat service events.Using Teamcenter, you can establish a single knowledge baseto support service and product engineering while improvingservice operations.With Teamcenter, you can manage business processes, fromthe early stages of design to the actual production launchand beyond. Teamcenter enables a truly concurrent engineering environment that allows you to leverage product designswhile simultaneously optimizing and synchronizing manufacturing deliverables. This helps you better manage lifecyclecosts, be more productive across multiple domains andmaintain product quality targets.Collaborate with suppliersaround the worldCorporate mergers and acquisitions often leave in their wakedisconnected global teams of partners and suppliers. Yet,great products are increasingly designed and validated digitally with the aid of a globally distributed supply chain. Whilesuppliers can play different roles in your product lifecycles,they often must deal with multi-CAD environments andmultiple processes that vary from customer to customer.Suppliers need an easy-to-use collaboration solution toparticipate in PLM processes that spans multiple use cases,while OEMs need a platform to extend their PLM processesand data to the right suppliers in a secure and efficient manner. Teamcenter enables suppliers and OEMs to workcollaboratively using accurate, up-to-date information. Thisbrings more visibility to supplier performance while reducingadministrative labor costs spent dealing with data exchangeissues.This capability includes meticulous product and asset serviceplanning that enables you to create and manage detailed,accurate service plans and documentation. It also enableslean service operations, which help you define and scheduleservice work, deliver service tasks with all necessary information at the point of service and capture event results.Teamcenter also makes it easy for you to generate documentation such as service manuals and parts catalogs.Connect engineering with manufacturingShifting market demand, increasing competitive pressuresand resource constraints require you to continuously improvemanufacturing processes. You need new strategies to helpyou streamline operations, boost productivity and maintainquality.7
Transform your businessImprove product qualityPLM can help you take your business to thenext level. When you successfully apply transformational solutions to your productlifecycle, quality, safety and reliability improvedramatically. PLM helps you meet requirements from customers as well as regulators.Quality products require smarter decisions,including trade-offs between cost, time-tomarket and meeting design intent. Many ofthe quality solutions today are segregatedapplications which require additional expense.This can impact quality while increasing therisk of repeat issues.8Teamcenter helps you increase quality bycollecting issues from sales and marketingthrough design engineering to production.This enables smarter decisions across theglobal enterprise.Align cost management withproduct developmentProfit margins suffer if you don’t have visibilityinto what drives costs. Teamcenter providesyou with a complete set of tools for managingcosting throughout the development andmanufacturing processes.These holistic cost modeling tools enableparametric, predictive and detailed cost calculation on a program-by-program basis.
Accurate, detailed cost calculations arebased on common information, such ascost of materials, labor and manufacturing processes, providing clear visibilityinto how decisions impact cost.Teamcenter helps support your costmodel across all corporate functions.Engineering can anticipate the costimpact of change. Purchasing and salescan have open and clear fact-basednegotiations and should-cost analysis.Finance can estimate the profitability ofa program.Create sustainable products andcomply with regulations“Going green” is no longer a choice formanufacturers. Environmental compliance is required by law and the volumeand complexity of regulations continuesto grow. Manufacturers must report onthe quantity and concentration levels ofevery material and substance used intheir products. Failure to comply withregulations is costly. You can be finedand banned from markets. The damageto your brand can be devastating.Teamcenter enables you to implementforward-looking strategies such asDesign for the Environment to proactively assess the impact materialchoices will have on downstream processes. You can minimize errors andre-work by automating the suppliermaterial and substance declarationrequest process and reduce the risk ofnoncompliance by enabling compliancegrading and reporting.Ensure product performance withsystems engineeringTeamcenter can help you mitigateunforeseen costs and manufacturingissues, system failures due to subsystems integration issues, interfacediscrepancies, lack of product datare-use, the inability to assess the impactof design or requirement changes andbeing forced to make substantial compromises late in the process.Drive product cost,quality, sustainability andsystems engineering.Using the Teamcenter architecturemodeler, you can construct a systemslevel behavioral, functional and logicaldefinition to help ensure productsperform as intended.
