Abstract

Product documentation is often a separate step that takes place after product design in

many product development processes, creating delays and the need for additional rework.

Shortening this step developing documentation content concurrently can accelerate time-to-market

and increase competitiveness. Now it is possible to address all product documentation needs

including materials for manufacturing, service, user manuals, and marketing by using a new class

of documentation. Gathering technical attributes of engineering products and documentation

should be done. Business analysis as a discipline has a heavy overlap with requirements analysis

sometimes also called requirements engineering. Identified the functional requirements for the

Symbiosys Management Project.

1.Overview on IT industry:

1.1 Introduction

The information technology (IT) and information technology enabled services (ITeS)

industry has been one of the key driving forces fuelling Indias economic growth. India is one of

the fastest-growing IT services markets in the world, with three-quarters of large Indian

enterprises planning to increase IT spending in 2013, with an average IT budget of US$ 12.2

million, according to a survey by Gartner. The Indian IT-business process outsourcing (BPO)

sector including the domestic and exports segments continue to grow from strength to strength,

witnessing high levels of activity both onshore as well as offshore. The companies continue to

move up the value-chain to offer higher end research and analytics services to their clients.

India's leadership position in the global IT and BPO industries are based primarily on the

following advantages.

1.2 Market Size

The Indian IT and ITES industry has continued to perform its role as the most consistent

growth driver for the economy. Service, software exports and BPO remain the mainstay of the

sector. Over the last five years, the IT and ITES industry has grown at a remarkable pace. A

majority of the Fortune 500 and Global 2000 corporations are sourcing IT and ITES from India

and it is the premier destination for the global sourcing of IT and ITES accounting for 55 per

cent of the global market in offshore IT services and garnering 35 per cent of the ITES/BPO

market. India's IT and BPO sector exports are expected to grow by 12-14 per cent in FY14 to

touch US$ 84 billion - US$ 87 billion, according to Nasscom. The Indian IT infrastructure

market is projected to grow by 9.7 per cent y-o-y to reach US$ 2.1 billion in 2013. Nasscom has

created a separate unit to drive its newfound enthusiasm for software products, and has set a

target of US$ 10 billion in revenues from software products by 2020.

1.3 Investments

EMC Corporation's investment in India is expected to reach US$ 1.5 billion by 2014. The

company started its journey in India with a modest investment of US$ 100 million in 2005.

Some of the major investments in the sector are as follows:

D-Link plans to set up a testing lab in India in the second half of this year to ensure better

localisation, said Mr A P Chen, Chairman, D-Link.

Hexaware Technologies has set up an onshore delivery centre in Texas, US. The centre is its

third onshore delivery centre in the US.

NIIT Technologies has won a multi-year contract from the Airports Authority of India (AAI)

worth Rs 344 crore (US$ 61.84 million) for the implementation of Airport Operations Control

Centres (AOCC).

The Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) plans to set up a data centre in Hyderabad. The

centre will address the storage and cloud needs of small and medium enterprises (SME).

Wipro has signed an agreement to acquire a minority stake in Opera Solutions, a global big data

and analytics company, for about US$ 30 million.

1.4 Government Initiatives

FDI up to 100 per cent under the automatic route is allowed in Data processing, software

development and computer consultancy services; Software supply services; Business and

management consultancy services, Market Research Services, Technical testing & Analysis

services.

The Government of India's move to do away with the mandatory requirement of 10

hectares of minimum land area for setting up an IT and ITeS special economic zones (SEZ) is

expected to provide a major boost to the real estate and IT sector.Some of the major initiatives

taken by the Government to promote IT and ITeS sector in India are:

The Government of West Bengal plans to spend Rs 41 crore (US$ 7.37 million) to roll out

citizen-centric services electronically across 19 districts including Kolkata

Kerala has set an ambitious target of becoming a cent per cent digital state in governance, said

Mr P K Kunhalikutty, Minister for Industries and Information Technology, Government of


10/53

Kerala. The State has around 600 small, medium and large IT firms employing over 80,000

professionals directly and nearly three times the number indirectly

The Cabinet has recently approved the National Policy on Information Technology 2012. The

policy aims to increase revenues of IT and ITES industry from US$ 100 billion to US$ 300

billion by 2020 and expand exports from US$ 69 billion to US$ 200 billion by 2020

The Government of India plans to set up 15 new laboratories for testing hardware and software

products under public-private partnership (PPP) model

The Ministry of Finance has issued a circular to chairmen of public sector banks and regional

rural banks, that all payments to customers, staff, vendors and suppliers as well as disbursement

of loans and payments towards investments should be made only through the electronic mode

Road Ahead

Globalisation has a profound impact in shaping the Indian IT industry over the years with

India capturing a sizeable chunk of the global market for technology sourcing and business

services. Over the years the growth drivers for this sector have been the verticals of

manufacturing, telecommunication, insurance, banking, finance and of late the fledgling retail

revolution. As the new scenario unfolds it is getting clear that the future growth of IT and ITeS

will be fuelled by the verticals of climate change, mobile applications, healthcare, energy

efficiency and sustainable energy. Traditional business strongholds would make way for new

geographies, there would be new customers and more and more of SMEs will go for IT

application and services.Demand from emerging countries is expected to show strong growth

going forward. Tax holidays are also extended to IT sector for STPI and SEZs. Further, the

country is providing procedural ease and single window clearance for setting up facilities.

Growth in offshoring is expected to outclass the growth in overall IT spend across the

various verticals. Offshoring as a per cent of total spend is also expected to rise across the

various verticals. India has the opportunity to tap the growing offshoring market with its cost

advantage, expertise and huge talent pool.

1.5 Growth of global IT economy

The global IT industry has matured over the years and has emerged to be a chief

contributor to the global economic growth. The global IT sector, constituted by the software

and services, Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) and the hardware segments, has

been on a gradual growth trajectory with a steady rise in revenues as witnessed in the past few

years. 2008 was a strong year as the number of contracts; the total value and the annualized

contract values exceeded that of the preceding year. Among all users above average growth was

witnessed in the government, healthcare and the manufacturing segments. The global software

and services industry touched USD 967 billion, recording an above average growth of 6.3%

over the past year. Worldwide ITES grew by 12%, the highest among all technology related

segments. Hardware spend is estimated to have grown by 4% from USD 570 billion to nearly

USD 594 billion in 2008. Currently, the global IT industry is experiencing a slump

with the recessions in the US and many industrial countries with the level of impact

varying by country / market and industry. Forrester in its recent report has predicted that the US

IT market will dip to 1.6% in 2009, down from 4.1% growth in 2008 (see figure below). The

Asia Pacific region, using a weighted average1 of local currencies, will do a bit better in 2009,

with 3.1% growth.The Western and Central Europe markets will have

growth in local currency that is closer to 1%. By 2010, the US market will shift to 7.3%

growth, not far behind the 9.5% growth in the other Americas, well ahead of the 5.5% growth in

Asia Pacific and 5.3% growth in Western and Central Europe.

As it stands, the US market accounts for majority of the global purchases of IT goods

and services. The US market which represented 37% of the global market for IT goods and

services in 2005 had shrunk to 33% share in 2008. Western and Central Europe would see its

share of global IT purchases fluctuate between 26% and 28% between 2008 to 2010; Eastern

Europe, the Middle East, and Africa and Asia Pacific are expected to hold their share positions.


12/53

The global IT purchases are expected to plummet as strong dollar would hurt dollar-

denominated growth rates for IT purchases going ahead. The British pound was 23% lower in Q4

2008 from the year-ago level, the Indian rupee is down 20%, the Canadian dollar is 19% weaker,

and the euro is down 9%. Only the Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan renminbi have gained in

value against the US dollar. While these currency swings are

Likely to reverse in 2009 as the financial crisis fades, the dollar is still likely to remain

above 2008 levels for most of the year. That will dampen global IT market growth measured in

dollars and hurt the reported revenues of US vendors like Accenture, Hewlett-Packard (HP), and

IBM with large overseas operations. With global tech market in US dollars likely to shrink,

global IT vendors revenues is expected to equal $1.66 trillion in 2009, declining by 3% after an

8% rise in 2008. The Asia Pacific region has been a major growth engine for the tech industry.

Its total purchases of IT goods and services of $448 billion in 2008 were almost as large as

Western and Central Europes. Countries like Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Singapore, South

Korea, and Taiwan, have seen growth slow as exports to the US and Europe slowed. Asia /

Pacific would experience a delayed impact of the global financial crisis. Gross Domestic Product

(GDP) growth is expected to slow in most countries / markets in 2009, which will affect IT

spending. Asia / Pacific is still growing more aggressively than other regions in GDP and in IT.

As a result, vendors would be looking to this region for growth and stability.

1.6 Structure of Indian IT Industry

The IT-ITES industry in India has today become a growth engine for the economy,

contributing substantially to increases in the GDP, urban employment and exports, to achieve the

vision of a powerful and resilient India. While the Indian economy has been impacted by the

global slowdown, the IT-ITES industry has displayed resilience and tenacity in countering the

unpredictable conditions and reiterating the viability of Indias fundamental value proposition.

Value proposition

The main reasons for the successful establishment of software companies in India and its

strong performance can be attributed to the following:


13/53

6

Cost advantage

Given the labor market conditions in India, there exists substantial scope of cost

arbitrage for performing services from India. This, along with a large pool of talented and

English people labor force, was the genesis of the IT sectors dominance in the world IT

services industry

Breadth of service offering and innovation

Service offerings have evolved from low-end application development to high-end

integrated IT solutions

Quality / maturity of process

Having made its mark as a center of low-cost and wide range of service offerings, the

Indian IT / ITES sector has also proved its mettle in the quality of the service offerings, as

demonstrated by the fact that it hosts more than 55% of SEI CMM level five firms and the

highest number of ISO certified companies.

Ease of scalability

The vast and trained labor pool of technically competent, English speaking people has

made it easy for the Indian companies to enter and exit this industry. Moreover, the ease with

which a company can scale its operations (up or down) has been a great value driver for the

success of the Indian IT / ITES service sectors growth story.

1.7 Performance of the Indian IT-ITES industry

The information technology sector has been playing a key role in fuelling the Indian

economic performance which has been stellar with robust GDP growth. Indias total IT

industrys (including hardware) share in the global market stands at 7%; in the IT segment the

share is 4% while in the ITES space the share is 2%. The industry is dominated by large

integrated players consisting of both Indian and international service providers. During the year,

the share of Indian providers went up to 65-70% due to the emerging trend of monetisation of


14/53

7

captives. MNCs however, continued to make deeper inroads into the industry and strengthened

their Indian delivery centres during 2008.The continuing contribution of this sector to the Indian

economy is evident from the fact that revenue generated from this sector has grown from 1.2%

in FY 1998 to an estimated 5.8% in the FY 2009. The net value added by this sector to the

economy is estimated at 3.5-4.1% for FY 2009.

Some of the key highlights2 of the Indian IT / ITES industry for FY 2009 are enumerated below:

The export revenues are estimated to gross USD 47.3 billion in FY 2009, accounting for66% of the total IT-ITES industry revenues.

IT services exports grew substantially on account of increasing traction of the industry inemerging markets such as remote infrastructure management and traditional segments

such as application management.

Domestic market continued to gain momentum, growing at 26% in INR terms on accountof the overall positive economic climate, increased adoption of technology and

outsourcing.

Engineering services and software product exports increased by 29% (USD). Direct employment reached nearly 2 million - with 1.5 million in the exports segment, a

YoY increase of 26% in 2008. The indirect employment multiplier suggested that the

industry created between 6-8 million additional jobs US and UK together constituted 79% of the globalexports in FY 2008 thereby

dominating the export markets.

BFSI remained the largest market followed by Hitech/ Telecom which togetheraccounted for more than 60% of exports.

1.8 Global IT and Indian IT offshore

Todays escalating, competitive and demanding environments have forced companies to

be more efficient, operate leaner and continuously create new procedures to keep ahead of

competitors - adding final consumer value to a product or service in the form of lower prices,

quality and better service has become an essential requirement in the global marketplace.

Corporations are trying to adapt with increasing competitors innovations to find global

opportunities and resources, focusing on core competencies and mutually beneficial


15/53

relationships, and finally, outsourcing those activities which can be performed more quickly and

at lower costs by subcontractors. In a globally integrated economy, outsourcing is leading to

overall benefits for the source economies, providing significant monetary and employment

benefits. India has become a target destination for multinationals to back end their IT operations

in India owing to its strong value proposition. We have witnessed an increased use of offshoring

by global and European outsourcers, and the emphasis on productivity and delivering value by

select Indian players.

The Indian IT / ITES sector can be viewed from two perspectives - Indian global IT and

Indian IT offshorer. The globally IT companies are increasingly looking inwards and focusing on

process benchmarking, enhanced utilisation of infrastructure and talent, increasing productivity

and greater customer engagement. global companies with roots in India are increasingly

offshoring work in order to cut cost, as a result of which India is witnessing a revenue growth.

On the other hand, as the offshore market is getting tighter, the Indian IT offshorers are facing

hard times in getting contracts or replenishing their orders. The crisis in the U.S. financial

services sector will have an impact in the short term on Indian outsourcers, as new projects may

get delayed. This has impacted the revenue flows and would need a substantial increase in

SG&A to ramp up their volumes.

In spite of the negative effect of the outsourcing business, there has been relatively lesser

impact on the Indian IT growth due to the offsetting effect of the favorable revenues on account

of the global IT offshorers.

India has become a target destination for multinationals to back end their IT operations in

India owing to its strong value proposition.

3D SCANNING AND ENGINEERING:

Using the Faro Photon Scanner we can turn reality into a virtual representation which is

being employed in more and more aspects of our everyday lives. From modeling ancient

buildings, production plants, crime scenes and football stadiums to design concepts for cars and

for replacement parts which have no design data, reverse engineering is a broad field allowing us

to create virtually anything we can touch.

Using a FARO Photon 120 3D scanner, we are able to measure 976,000 points per

second, at a range of up to 120m (395ft), through 360 degrees (horizontal) and 320 degrees


24/53

(vertical) and at an accuracy of +-2mm (at 25m), to provide you instantaneous, high resolution

3D imagery, with extreme clarity and full color.

Several industries have realized the immediate benefits in using 3D data for planning,

visualizing and measuring. Building Information Modeling (BIM), for example, is relying on

scanned data to be used throughout the entire building life cycle. By doing so, civil engineers,

architects and construction contractors are all able to collaborate more efficiently and effectively

in the design and building process as well as the maintenance of existing building infrastructure.

Industries such as aerospace, automotive, foundry and ship building depend on laser

scanning for accurate large scale inspection or reverse engineering. Scanned data provides

manufacturers with accurate measurements of complex parts whereby traditional methods of data

verification would be too cumbersome and unreliable.

OUTPUT & POST-PROCESSING:

Scanner output can be supplied raw, or post processed to your requirements. This

HR Suite Workflow Employee Resource Management System Integration Engineering.

Organizational factor:

This factor describes that the organizational structure is its framework, which is

expressed by its degree of complexity, formalization, and centralization. An organization is

divided into different divisions, departments, sections, teams and work groups for the purpose of

smooth working and each member in the organization is given certain responsibility and

authority to his position. So relationships among individuals, groups and all departments are

established with a formal line of authority and organizational resources are deployed for business

conduct.

EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT:

The external environment of an organization involves both general culture and few factorsand so on and a particular set of groups with which the organization must interact.

These groups usually include customers, suppliers, competitors, lab or supply, labor unionsand government.

The external environment is a major contingency variable for many reasons in order tosurvive and evolve, an organization must adapt effectively to changes that take place in its

environment.

The inability to adjust to environmental changes can erode the effectiveness of anorganization and threaten its continued existence.

The factors that affect the business are mainly political factors, social factors, technologicalfactors, economical factors and global factors.


34/53

27

Political Factors:

Technology acquisition raises a number of political questions.

The first relates to the dependence of the receiving nations on the supplying nation and thistechnological dependence could become a political one. So it is the responsibility of a

government to select carefully the country from where technology acquisition is made so that

no political problems could arise in future.

The second question relates to the possible transfer of political power from political elites tothe technical specialists. This problem is more prominent in computer-based technologies

because these technologies are directly related with retrieval and processing of data and

information. The people at the management level are mainly from non technical

backgrounds, as a result of which there is always a tension between these two groups.

The third question concerns the selection of countries to which certain technology could betransferred and As IT systems change organizations structure, culture, politics, and work.

Due to political restrictions and bans, the firms some time cannot develop or transfer new

technologies and therefore, they have to rely on old methods and equipments.

Economic Factors:

Economic environment of a country effects the implementation of information system.

Economic environment of a nation has a clear impact on the short term and long term successof IT implementation.

The economy determines such things as the availability of funds to pay for hardware,software, and technical support.

The economic factor also impacts the demand, in terms of a sustainable customerbase, for new IT produc ts and services.

There are two economic aspects of technology acquisition that are important to beconsidered: i.e

1) funds for initial investment and

2) return on investment.


35/53


36/53

29

Multiple ways to interact with and service a range of different technologies. For many reasons over emphasizing on technical and managerial details in a strategic

planning process can be counterproductive.

As mentioned above, it dampens the interest of vital participants; it tends to obscure, rather

that illuminate, genuinely strategic issues; and it surveillance diminishes quickly when the

planning process looks at a horizon of more than a few months.

3.4 SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY

Strengths:

The three solid strengths are processes, business skills, and client relationships. Ourcompany has mastered in these areas.The business expertise that now exists in the industry. With

time and experience with projects and dealing with clients across the world, many managers

have developed good understanding of business practices in other countries and have acquired

domain knowledge and an understanding of the cultural context of the customer. These are the

factors that are essential for moving from low level technical services to higher level services,

i.e. for going up the value chain. They are also essential for customer satisfaction, which, in turn,

is essential for business. Many Indian software companies boast of repeat business of over 70% -

a huge asset when trying to grow at rapid pace. The past customers remain for growth at least

loss of past customers does not need to be handled. At the same time, the senior management

seems to have transformed from thinking like a India-based supplier to being a global player.

This has brought in organization management and business practices that are in-line with the

developed world.

Symbiosys Technologies have developed the ability to change rapidly with technology. This has

been amply demonstrated by the quick movement to Java, E-commerce related technologies,

Animations etc., which are now major portion of the business for many companies. In todays

technology world, if a service provider does not have the ability to manage their people and

processes to adapt to new technologies; it will not remain in service for too long.These are the

main strengths that we have observed during these 2 weeks of our internship.

4.0 AN OVERVIEW OF TASKS GIVEN IN THE COMPANY

PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION

Introduction:

Computer-aided design (CAD) has moved far beyond the digitizing of paper-based

design processes. Advances in modeling and design software have led both designers and

manufacturers to expect intelligent, reactive drawing environments. And though the latest

modeling, visualization, and analysis software automates many manual processes, the 2D

documentation process has not always followed suit. Manufacturers and designers developing

model documentation are still forced to perform a wide range of manual processes that can be

both tedious and error-prone.

In addition, though the industrys accelerating transition from 2D drafting to 3D

modelling delivers countless advantages to designers, it has also introduced new challenges

when creating documentation. The accuracy of 3D can get lost during the documentation

process, particularly if data translation is required. As a result, developing accurate

documentation often requires designers/drafters to rework drawings.

Over the past decade, dramatic advances in 3D computer-aided design (CAD) technology

have given designers and engineers powerful tools for designing, engineering, and

manufacturing new products. Powerful CAD tools are helping engineers not only create and

visualize innovative designs, but also shorten design cycles, accelerate time-to-market, reduce

development costs, and improve product quality. For many manufacturing organizations,

however, most benefits associated with implementing CAD technologies have involved

processes that occur before production. As a result, product design and engineering primarily

reap the advantages of CAD data. While 3D CAD has made designers and engineers moreproductive and efficient, the innate value in the CAD models they create often ends with the

delivery of 2D drawings or printed materials to manufacturing.

As many engineers can attest, requests for CAD-related information, images, and

contentin a variety of layouts and formats to fulfill functions other than design and

engineeringare numerous and often arise after a designs release for production. All products


44/53

37

need documentation, and most require the production of assembly, service, and training manuals.

The utility of 3D data extends even to the creation of marketing materials and web-based

content. For any company that designs and manufactures products, CAD models and their

associated intellectual property are the fundamental source of product information, driving

efficiency through all the subsequent communication functions that traditionally took place after

product design.

As manufacturers strive to find ways to become leaner, more efficient, and more

competitive in global markets, generating CAD data to satisfy all the product documentation

requirements of the manufacturing enterprise may hold the greatest potential for improving

productivity. Instead of cutting into an engineers time to do high-resolution screen captures,

create special exploded views, or write instructions for manufacturing, service, and marketing

purposes, you can use an integrated content authoring tool and other resources to create product

graphics and illustrations directly and simultaneously from 3D CAD models.

Product documentation is often a separate step that takes place after product design in

many product development processes, creating delays and the need for additional rework.

Shortening this step by using a 3D authoring tool to develop documentation content concurrently

can accelerate time-to-market and increase competitiveness. Now it is possible to address all

product documentation needs including materials for manufacturing, service, user manuals, and

marketing by using a new class of documentation authoring applications to repurpose 3D CAD

data. Known as 3D authoring software, these tools extend the utility of CAD data and automate

the development of product documentation and related materials. While many organizations

already leverage 3D CAD content in some fashion, a 3D authoring tool allows you to avoid the

rework associated with updating CAD models to incorporate engineering changes into

downstream documentation. Software that updates content directly from the CAD model can

distribute design modifications throughout all related deliverables. As the design changes, 3D

authoring software enables technical illustrators to create and update exploded views.

Manufacturing specialists can develop and update graphics in assembly instructions, and

customer service personnel can do the same in service documentation. This powerful software

also allows marketing professionals to render and update catalogue images. If the CAD model

changes, you can automatically update all of the related content. This concurrent approach serves


45/53

38

to compress development time, squeeze costs out of the process, and alleviate demands on

engineering, all while maintaining the integrity of the original CAD data.

By implementing a documentation authoring solution, your company can realize greater

accuracy, increased efficiency, and a more significant return on investment (ROI) within the first

year. Time and cost savings related to resource reductions in publication creation, assembly

operations, engineering change order (ECO) processes, and warranty claims will eclipse the cost

of the solution during the first year and continue to grow with each passing year. By integrating

and automating the creation of product documentation, you can decrease labor costs associated

with document publication, localization of materials, and training. At an organizational level, the

ROI associated with the new processes becomes most evident through shorter time-to-market,

improved operational efficiencies, and better quality documentation.

Creating better user manuals and product documentation

While product documentation can fulfill a range of uses, its core purpose is twofold: to

provide customers with the information they need to use and enjoy a manufacturers product and

to develop customer loyalty for that product. Therefore, the production of user manuals, part

lists, and product schematics is an important function for building customer satisfaction and

loyaltyone that requires the contributions of illustrators, writers, and publishing specialists.

Whether product documentation personnel are engineers or have a limited engineering

background, they can substantially increase their chances of success by creating graphical

content directly from CAD models.

With a 3D authoring tool like 3DVIA Composer, product documentation specialists can

avoid using a CAD system or asking an engineer to produce product information such as

exploded views, vector line art images, or annotations. Instead of re-creating visuals from the

finished product, they can create 2D and 3D visuals to meet any documentation requirements.

Whether the need is vector line art of an exploded view for technical illustrations or a detailed

view of a high-resolution raster image for a user manual, documentation professionals can save

time and improve the visuals quality by accessing and reusing native CAD data. The flexibility

of integrated documentation software eliminates the need to go back and forth with engineering


46/53

39

to obtain the precise views, angles, and colors required for documentation; you can create this

content from the CAD model, but cannot alter or change the design.

With the explosive growth of digital and online documentation systems, 3D authoring

software also enables documentation publishers to use animations within user manuals and

product help systems. The interactive nature of 3D provides an effective means for showing your

customers how to use a product and for illustrating how that product works. With more and more

user manuals published either online or on CD-ROM, animation capabilities are fast becoming

an important part of the product documentation toolkit. Integrated documentation software

provides the capabilities for creating interactive content from the actual product CAD file.

Product and manufacturing information conveys non-geometric attributes in

3D computer-aided design (CAD) and Collaborative Product Development systems necessary formanufacturing product components or subsystems. PMI may include geometric dimensions and

tolerances 3D annotation (text) and dimensions, surface finish, and material specifications.

Product and manufacturing information (PMI) is used in 3D CAD and/or collaborative

product development systems to convey information about the design of a products components

for manufacturing. More specifically, PMI conveys information such as geometric dimensioning

and tolerancing (GD&T), 3D annotation (text), surface finish and material specifications.

The PMI annotation is created on the 3D CAD model, associated to edges and faces, and

can be exported into neutral formats such as Siemens JT and ISO 10303 STEP. This information

can then be used by a number of down-stream processes. Although PMI can be used to generate

annotation on a traditional 2D drawing the data can be visualized within the 3D model by other

departments, either in the CAD/CAM system or in a 3D Product visualization tool, thus reducing

the need for drawings (Drawing on Demand). Some 3D model formats enable computer-aided

manufacturing software to access PMI directly for CNC programming. The PMI also may be

used by tolerance analysis and Coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) software applications if

the modeling application permits.

PMI items are often organized under PMI Views. A PMI View is a view including

camera/view position and also the particular state of the assembly (visibility, rendering mode,

sometime even position of each element of the assembly). CAD applications have different


47/53

40

notions of PMI Views for instance "Capture Views" and "Annotation Views" are specific to

Dassault Systems CATIA.

Features:

Reduces cost by ensuring that design intent is completely captured and associated to themodel. Deducing and interpreting design intent from 2D information is no longer

necessary.

Reduces rework associated with inaccurate or incomplete manufacturing information. Reduces manufacturing errors encountered as a result of manual translations and enforces

characteristic accountability for the final product definition.

Increases productivity and quality by documenting the information once and reusing iteverywhere (redundant data is no longer required for downstream applications).

Supports concurrent engineering by facilitating the documentation of models earlier inthe design process. Design collaboration teams no longer need to wait for the production

of the drawing to communicate design requirements.

Benefits:

Enhances and shortens the design cycleby enablingproduct teams to incorporate productand process information during the design phase, thereby facilitating better

communications, fewererrors, streamlined design/ manufacturing processes andfasterchange management.

Accelerates decision makingby enabling product teamsto remove drawings fromthesupplier communication chain and replacing that information with persistent, associated

3D product data that can be deployed across multiple lifecycle processes and used

anywhere.

Replacing the universal 2D drawing

People are familiar with 2D drawings and use them as a means of legally defining a

finished product. 2D drawings contain standard symbology that is universally understood and

interpreted. However, in some cases, the existence of multiple, redundant data required to define


48/53

41

a manufactured part can lead to deviations in the final 3D form. Interpretation errors, duplication

errors or revision inconsistencies can contribute to costly mistakes that quickly translate into

lower quality and productivity. As a result, while 2D drawings contain the recipe for

manufacturing a part, the true manufacturing process requires both the 3D form

and 2D information to produce a correct part the first time. The use of 2D drawings for the

purpose of communicating downstream production requirements can also add an unnecessary

burden to the product development cycle. A simple change in the product definition not only

requires updated 3D digital data, but also necessitates numerous engineering changes to all 2D

documentation associated with the product. Since it takes time to maintain this documentation,

the lifecycle for implementing a product change grows with the extent of its associated 2D data.

5. Objectives:

Capturing and conveying manufacturing requirements for 3D digital productdevelopment.

To do 3D model documentation on Product and Manufacturing Information. Employee attendance monitoring.

6. Tasks:

Various tasks were given in due course. Initially given work of employee attendance

monitoring. Prepared a consolidated report of employees who were coming late in the morning,

employees who were coming late after going to lunch, Employees who are leaving the office

early. Based on the late entries salary deduction will be done.

Next given task of Capturing and conveying manufacturing requirements for 3D digital

product development. In order to accomplish this task it is necessary to collect the technical

attributes related to each and every product of the company. On the first day the task assigned to

me is to gather all the technical attributes of Anova companys products. Similarly daily different

companys products, for which 3D modelling has to be done, were given to do documentation.

Business analysis is a research discipline of identifying business needs and determining

solutions to business problems. Solutions often include a systems development component, but

may also consist of process improvement, organizational change or strategic planning and policy


49/53

42

development. The person who carries out this task is called a business analyst or BA. Business

analysts who work solely on developing software systems may be called IT business analysts,

technical business analysts, online business analysts, business systems analysts, or systems

analysts. Business analysis as a discipline has a heavy overlap with requirements analysissometimes also called requirements engineering, but focuses on identifying the changes to an

organization that are required for it to achieve strategic goals. These changes include changes to

strategies, structures, policies, processes, and information systems. Symbiosys Technologies is

now developing its own website for various business functions like Human Resource

Management, Project Management etc. Requirements for developing website have to be

documented so that the technical team will develop the Symbiosys Management System (SMS)

according to those requirements. Identified actors and use cases in the project and estimated the

cost of project based on standard ratings.

Requirements analysisin systems engineering and software engineering, encompasses

those tasks that go into determining the needs or conditions to meet for a new or altered product,

taking account of the possibly conflicting requirements of the various stakeholders, analyzing,

documenting, validating and managing software or system requirements. Requirements analysis

is critical to the success of a systems or software project. The requirements should be

documented, actionable, measurable, testable, traceable, related to identified business needs or

opportunities, and defined to a level of detail sufficient for system design.

Conceptually, requirements analysis includes three types of activities:[citation needed]

Eliciting requirements: the task of identifying the various types of requirements from

various sources including project documentation, (e.g. the project charter or definition), business

process documentation, and stakeholder interviews. This is sometimes also called requirements

gathering.

Analyzing requirements: determining whether the stated requirements are clear,

complete, consistent and unambiguous, and resolving any apparent conflicts.

Recording requirements: Requirements may be documented in various forms, usually

including a summary list and may include natural-language documents, use cases, user stories, or

process specifications.

By examining the printcad file, calculations should be done to get all the geometric

attributes of the product like length, breadth, height, radius, pole height, knob radius, inner radius

etc. To get the product information have to search in google.

In order to gather the functional requirements for Symbiosys Management System thestrategy adopted was group discussion with technical team and brainstorming. Through

brainstorming many ideas were generated. Among them the best can be selected to implement

the project.

For 7 days I was assigned a task of work related to financial statements. Journal entries

from 1-April-2012 to 31-March-2013 were given. Cash vouchers should be written for the billsand staple that voucher to corresponding bill and sort out those bills month wise and should file

them. The reason for deviation of task is that there is auditing in this month.

10.Limitation:

In order to this task lot of patience is needed because we may not get the required

information within a single click. We have keep on changing the search key word to get the

necessary information. Modelers should complete the 3D modeling of products prior to the

documentation is done. As it is a software company and it does the client projects which are very

confidential and important that is why they are very strict and static in giving us the details of the

project to analyse and also even to outline the project schedule. They are also strict in giving the

accounting details as it deals with all the financial transactions which are very confidential.
