Do your design teams waste too much time searching for data only to find incomplete or outdated information? Does your process rely on sequential design work? Do you find that your teams are redesigning parts because of poor design and data reuse? Are you worried about protecting your corporate intellectual property?
When knowledge isn’t readily available to you AND your suppliers, project timelines are missed, mistakes are made or repeated and lessons learned on previous programs are not incorporated on new projects. You run the risk of inappropriate sourcing integration, inability to locate proper product supply, a lack of knowledge that prevents higher product quality design, and a lack of collaboration with those who impact your product design.
You also increase the likelihood of rework and designing parts that already exist.
In an attempt to reduce labor costs, the trend now is to move jobs to low-cost countries. This practice, however, is often misused and rarely creates a sustainable advantage. Furthermore, it puts your priceless intellectual property at risk.
In an attempt to protect corporate intellectual property, and to realize the promised cost reductions from low-wage countries, companies often must put in place stringent management processes. Because offshoring requires such a concerted effort to achieve these desired results, it can deliver the opposite effects of expectations.
Doing the same processes, enduring the same product development wastes, but simply reducing the unit costs is not lean. Removing the waste, improving the processes and eliminating the costs are lean. Elimination of the waste reduces the need for offshoring and thereby reduces the risk to your intellectual property.
With V5 PLM technology, you can manage your most important resource – Corporate Intellectual Property – to take your products to market faster, increase your return on investment and your competitive advantage. Your teams can collaborate virtually to manage complex product, process and resource information – from marketing and design to manufacturing and maintenance. Our solutions are designed for businesses of any size – small, medium and large – to optimally integrate, manage and reuse your product knowledge across all applications. Dassault Systèmes Services can help you to leverage these tools to get the most out of your investment, remove wasteful activities such as data search and recreation, and implement true Lean Principles in your product development process to maximize your innovative capacity and create a truly sustainable competitive advantage without jeopardizing your corporate assests.
Product Data Management does not begin and end with your own product data. True collaboration occurs when all parties who influence design are brought into the process. Managing & controlling your intellectual property begins with cataloging and making it readily available to your staff. Safe storage will allow you to effectively manage and control your corporate knowledge. This is particularly applicable to the supply chain. Dassault Systèmes’ ENOVIA CES (Collaborative Enterprise Sourcing) enables cataloging of your supply chain and of your own data and empowers engineers to integrate sourcing considerations early on and throughout the product design process.
For many companies, integrating sourcing considerations early on and throughout the product design process is becoming a business priority. “Designing with supply in mind” reduces development time and costs, improves product quality, and helps foster cost-effective design innovation. However, to realize these benefits, engineers need sourcing data and constraints readily available on their desktops; sourcing needs accurate 3D product data; and both need access to the latest enterprise resource information — from product concept through retirement.
With CES, Design for Supply and Supply for Design become a reality. This reduces development time and costs, improves product quality and fosters part reuse and design innovation.
Engineers and managers know exactly what they have available to work with and can collaborate in real time with sourcing specialists as the product matures. As a result, issues are discovered and handled more efficiently and designs go into production more rapidly, reducing time to value.
Design for Supply - engineers can quickly locate and validate the right parts to optimize current designs and thereby produce higher-quality products with less warranty and repair issues.
Supply for Design - sourcing can engage in the early stages of design to proactively supply for products. Engineers can leverage supplier relationships and approved parts to improve decision making. Users can take critical factors such as price and lead-time into account as part of the engineering process. Additionally, they can analyze information as to where and how parts are being used, and at what cost, to drive business strategies.
Dassault Systèmes Services will work with your organization to classify and categorize all of your design content. With our proven, phased implementation methodology, Dassault Systèmes Services will deliver a CES implementation that ensures the value you are expecting of the CES solution while minimizing the risks of adoption problems.
Build better products at reduced cost, manage compliance and regulatory issues, leverage offshore sourcing capabilities, and respond quickly and effectively to competitive challenges. And by doing so, increase your competitive advantage. Find out how by contacting Dassault Systèmes Services. |
