Implemented Manufacturing Process Management using Windchill MPMLink for a Japanese-based pioneer in Water Technology
Business Challenge
Customer was sharing Manufacturing Information and Bill of Materials in spreadsheets across the enterprise
Multiple disconnected legacy Systems were implemented to manage manufacturing information spread across different global sites
Very high lead time to market as data was not shared efficiently to manufacturing
Product Scrap and rework resulting in increased cost of Product Engineering
Solution
Implemented Windchill MPMLink to centrally manage manufacturing process data across all global sites.
Defined an architecture for a seamless transformation of engineering BOMs to manufacturing BOMs and plant specific BOMs and eliminated spreadsheet-based collaboration which was prone to errors.
Integrated Windchill PLM with customer’s homegrown systems to process Plant specific Bill of Materials
Ensure smooth user transition & adoption of MPMLink based system by tailor-made training
Benefits
Transition of multiple systems to single PLM (MPMLink) system reduced IT system maintenance and support expenditure
Early data visibility for Manufacturing Department and ability to make/change mBOM independently for every plant lowered the time to market by 40%
Single source for all data accessible across the globe by various business units reduced Product rework and scrap, thereby reducing cost of Product Engineering
