Top 5 Signs You Need Data Management
Are you asking the following questions?
• Who has access to my data?
• Is this the latest file?
• Where is that specification?
• Didn’t we do something like this before?
• Why did they manufacture against the wrong BOM?
It might be time to think about how you could
manage designs more effectively…

Manufacturer’s Viewpoint
“In an unmanaged
environment it takes me a
lot of time just to control
the files. In a managed
environment you can do
double the work in the
same time.”
Manager of IT & Engineering,
Advanced Engineered Products

Siemens PLM Software
Manufacturer’s Viewpoint
“Manufacturing would be negatively
impacted if we had inefficient data
management. They would have more
defects due to compatibility errors
that weren’t identified by impact
analysis, which would lead to
manufacturing issues and lack of
product quality.”
R&D Manager,
Industrial Equipment

Research shows that effectively managing design data offers tangible business value. It helps manufacturers grow their business,
respond rapidly to market changes, and control cost to improve profitability. Data management does this by helping companies better
control, access, and share their designs and related product information. Unfortunately, data management solutions have been out of
reach for some companies due to cost and lack of IT resources, forcing them to rely on less effective approaches like
storing data on shared drives and folders.
One alternative to an unmanaged environment is to use a collaboration and document
management platform such as Microsoft SharePoint to manage designs.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Hello and welcome to the Product Development webinar series . This series is designed to help you learn how to solve some of today's toughest product design challenges. I'm your host, Joe Partner. Thank you for joining in today.
  • #3 Now today, we're going to be talking about ways to get control of your design data. This topic is part of a broader webinar series on Product Development This series delves into a variety of topics related to great product design as shown here. Topics like “From Concept to Market” , Successful Product Redesign and Simulation to name a few. Check our calendar for future live webinars. If you missed the earlier webinars, on demand recordings can be found on our website. Please feel free to enter in your questions at any time during the presentation. We'll get to them during the Q&A session at the end of the presentation. With all that said, let me give you a better idea of what we'll cover today... Partner- Ideally this should be run as part of a series where single registration covers all webinars. Adjust/remove this slide if you are running as a stand alone webinar. Mention dates of upcoming webinars if you like
  • #4  First, we’ll be talking about Product Complexity and the five signs you need data management Next we’ll look at best practices around design data, benchmarking against world class companies. From there we’ll look at some of the pitfalls of unmanaged design data And finally, to wrap things up, we’ll look at how one company took control of their design data and the success that followed. With all that said, let’s get going!
  • #5  The simple reality is that today’s products are complex. They are complex to design, complex to produce, and complex to support. Across the manufacturing industries, the trend over the last ten years has been increased complexity. This challenge, whether it is inherent to the product itself or the difficult manufacturing landscape of the twenty-first century, has made the job of developing and delivering profitable products more difficult. Effectively managing product complexity, in all of its forms, is an important business issue.
  • #6  The Tech Clarity report entitled The five dimensions of product complexity examines how manufacturers address the five critical dimensions of product complexity to achieve maximum profitability, including:  Mechanical Complexity  Mechatronics  Global Markets  Global Design and Manufacturing Lifecycle Profitability The report goes on to describe how PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and more specifically PDM (Product Data Management), solutions help manage these five dimensions of product complexity on an enterprise scale, resulting in greater efficiency and better products. PLM was originally developed to manage complexity by improving processes such as change and configuration management, key tools for combating product complexity. As product complexity has increased, PLM has evolved, expanding to manage more aspects of product development, including a richer view of the product, more people involved in product innovation, more phases of the product lifecycle, and enabling more product-related processes.
  • #7 Top 5 Signs You Need Data Management Are you asking the following questions? Who has access to my data? Is this the latest file? Where is that specification? Didn’t we do something like this before? Why did they manufacture against the wrong BOM? It might be time to think about how you could manage designs more effectively…
  • #8 Manufacturers today face challenging markets and an uncertain global economy. To survive they are trying to improve the speed of product development despite reduced headcount and budgets. One positive note is that many manufacturers are gaining significant value by implementing product data management (PDM) solutions. In the report entitled The Business Value of Product Data Management, Tech- Clarity interviewed several small to midsize manufacturers (shown here) to understand their experiences. Each of these companies implemented PDM for different business reasons, although several common themes were repeated.
  • #9  These themes are consistent with previous research on the topic, and include: • Control and secure product-related data • Improve the ability to quickly find and reuse information • Share product knowledge and collaborate with other departments
  • #10 Why do companies adopt PDM? The business value comes from several sources. The first source identified from the interviews was control. Manufacturers rely on good product data to develop and produce quality products. To do this, they need to control their product data. Part of the challenge in controlling information is managing revisions and complex configurations. Manufacturers need to know which version of their data is the most recent and understand what has been released to manufacturing. That’s a big challenge with dispersed data, files kept on local storage, or information on shared network drives. Another aspect of controlling data is managing information security. Product design data represents a significant investment in intellectual property and can cause a competitive crisis if the information is compromised. Control helps engineers manage their data in a protected, secure environment, keeping their designs safe yet easy to access.
  • #11 Another common theme identified by the participants was the ability to quickly retrieve product data. Of course it first needs to be controlled before it is shared. Making inaccurate information more broadly available would be counterproductive. One of the most important reasons to improve data accessibility is engineering efficiency. In an uncontrolled environment, engineers spend too much time looking for information or recreating design data. PDM helps alleviate that problem. Decreasing the amount of time engineers search for information allows them to focus on innovation and adding value instead of wasting time searching for files or “recreating the wheel.” This in turn shortens cycle times, improves time to market, and saves money through increased efficiency.
  • #12 Making design data available within Engineering is important, but PDM also helps make the right information available across the business. One of the main benefits described by research participants was the ability to easily share product data with downstream functions that need accurate, timely data to do their jobs. Purchasing, Manufacturing, and others depend on the data from Engineering to play their role in developing and delivering profitable products.
  • #13  Effectively managing design data is critical to remain agile in today’s complex product development environment. Tech-Clarity research shows that effective data management helps companies design innovative, high-quality products quickly and efficiently. This report analyzes how best practices relate to business performance based on over 2,000 responses to a web-based data management survey. The survey allowed participants to report their company performance related to quality, innovation, product development speed, and efficiency. <<click>> The data shows that companies with world-class performance for product development are more likely to have very effective data management capabilities. World-class manufacturers: • Are more able to find the data they need, share it with others, manage their design projects, and provide the correct data to manufacturing • Spend 25% less time on nonproductive data management tasks
  • #14 About one-quarter of companies (26%) report wasting more than 20% of their technical time on nonproductive data management tasks. That is more than one full day of work per week! Leading companies take a different approach. Survey analysis indicates that world-class manufacturers are more likely to use structured, collaborative design data management technology. World-class companies are 30% more likely to use PDM or PLM solutions and are more likely to use other collaborative data management tools like Microsoft SharePoint to manage their design data. Managing design data and enabling collaboration – the basic fundamentals behind any PDM or PLM solution – provide important business value.
  • #15 Listen to what one manager of IT & Engineering had to say- “In an unmanaged environment it takes me a lot of time just to control the files. In a managed environment you can do double the work in the same time.” Control / Access. Again, we see the theme of efficiency / productivity coming through.
  • #16 And this R & D Manager from an Industrial Equipment Company. “Manufacturing would be negatively impacted if we had inefficient data management. They would have more defects due to compatibility errors that weren’t identified by impact analysis, which would lead to manufacturing issues and lack of product quality.” Sharing design data - Clearly more than a matter of efficiency and productivity – preventing costly and time-consuming errors.
  • #17 Key take aways. Without question, Manufacturers must address complexity. Manage design data with tools to control, access, and share information and improve business performance Simplify data management with a managed environment that allows designers to spend less time searching for data and focus instead on developing products Look for solutions that are “built-in” to your CAD solution, or that are preconfigured for rapid deployment and low TCO Take advantage of PLM vendors’ investments in solutions that help manage design projects and visualize complex relationships between design data
  • #18 An excellent first step to good design management performance is taking advantage of the built-in capabilities of your CAD software For example Solid Edge is integrated with Windows Explorer so you can browse your 3D part and assembly models, open them in the Solid Edge CAD application, or browse the Properties dialog to see or change the Status of different documents, and view standard and custom properties like Part Number, Revision and Material You can also run utilities like View and Markup and the Revision Manager from Windows Explorer enabling you to markup parts and drawings with requested changes, or create a new revision of an assembly with several of the parts incremented to new revisions – getting a fast start to your engineering change and new product development projects And Solid Edge also has a free mobile viewer that runs on iOS, Android and Windows devices – giving you fast access to your design data while mobile
  • #19  For organizations who need more capabilities – for example providing a single source of product data that is available across different departments and to external resources including suppliers and customers a comprehensive PLM (product lifecycle management) solution like Teamcenter is proven to deliver significant benefits. Teamcenter enables you to improve the quality of your product development process with a single source of product data for your design and manufacturing teams and provides access to a full range of product lifecycle management (PLM) capabilities to further optimize your design-through-manufacturing processes.

  • #20 Demo Video Salescenter resource 45526 Focusing on Solid Edge this voiced over 4 minute demo video highlights how Teamcenter is used to achieve true multi-CAD management across major CAD design tools including NX, Solid Edge, CATIA, SolidWorks, ProEngineer/CREO, AutoCAD and Inventor (Note: this demo has an emphasis on multi-CAD data management)
  • #21 Before we wrap up, Id like to share one of our many case studies of manufacturers who are using Teamcenter together with Solid Edge Sparkonix is a leading manufacturer and exporter of electrical discharge machining (EDM) equipment – they are based in India. The company also produces special-purpose EDM drill machines and metal arc disintegrators, which are used to remove broken taps and drills. Sparkonix machines typically include hundreds of parts, from fabricated and machined parts to castings, sheet metal, electronics and electrical items mounted directly on mechanical assemblies. Sparkonix uses Solid Edge® software for computer-aided design (CAD). However, the company was finding it difficult to manage a rapidly expanding amount of design data.
  • #22 Sparkonix previously had a central location for data, but it could not be easily searched. Equally frustrating, Sparkonix was unable to re-use the data. In addition, it was hard to avoid creating duplicate data, and anybody could access it. What Sparkonix wanted was total control of its design data, with ease of access, the ability to readily re-use the data and strong security. According to Sparkonix’s Design Manager “The amount of CAD data was growing and we needed to manage it better so that no unnecessary duplicates would be created - being able to re-use design data to speed up work was a priority … the number of users accessing data was increasing and we required control of user workflow, so we needed revision management.” Sparkonix is in a highly competitive market and the company constantly works on new concepts and designs. The company is also intent on improving its existing products and processes without compromising quality. Achieving this while keeping costs in mind is a big challenge, as is meeting deadlines for customer orders and providing updates to marketing on changes to designs.
  • #23  Sparkonix found the answer to its information management challenges with Teamcenter Rapid Start. Listen to what Sparkonix Design manager had to say- “By choosing Teamcenter Rapid Start, we have a central repository for design data with strong management capabilities - we can search our database for required information to use and re-use parts and assemblies … we are able to efficiently manage product revisions. We can control the access rights to data based on user type, and share updated data easily and immediately. As a result, we have moved to more controlled paperless operations for the design department. Earlier, we had to do manual paperwork to maintain data that is now being handled by our PDM software,” Sparkonix is using Teamcenter Rapid Start to provide design data to purchasing, sales and support where people can view documents and designs that were created in many different formats. Stakeholders don’t need access to CAD applications to collaborate and get the information they need to make the right product decisions. Teamcenter Rapid Start has enabled Sparkonix to streamline design data and make it available to all for re-use, from design to sales and support. Designers can now concentrate on design rather than on storing, searching for and retrieving data- reducing design time by 25 percent. Getting into production quickly Sparkonix opted for Teamcenter Rapid Start because it wanted to get up and running quickly and immediately apply PDM best practices for data and process management. What’s more, the company wanted an affordable option suited to its small business profile. Teamcenter Rapid Start provided the PDM capabilities Sparkonix needed while giving the company the option to grow into a full-scale PLM implementation at any time.
