1. MS Excel
Data Silos within Factories
• Data cannot be easily shared between engineers within the
same factory, nor with sister factories or corporate.
• Reliance on MS Excel for engineering planning delays new product
launches, prevents concurrent engineering, and affects data quality.

2. Assembly Planner
Collaboration Within Factories
• Factories benefit from a single set of reusable process data, located in
a sharable database system with integrated engineering tools.
• Assembly Planner facilitates collaboration among engineers within the
same plant, and helps standardize work flows and outputs across plants.

3. Assembly Planner
Collaboration Across the Enterprise
• Data access can be granted for users beyond each factory, allowing
engineering process data to be shared across the enterprise.
• Sharing data between factories accelerates the launch or transfer of
products, and communicates standard best practices between sites.
