In todays digitized economy,

product lifecycle management

(PLM) provides you with a

unique opportunity to:

Maximize innovation throughout

your product lifecycle, which

translates into higher

revenues, greater market

share, faster take-to-market

times and improved portfolio

success rates.

Transform the decision-making

processes you use to determine

what products you should

offer, how these products

should be brought to market,

and what participants perform

most effectively in your

product lifecycle.

Increase the value of your

product and marketing knowledge

by managing this diverse

intellectual property on anenterprise basis and leveraging

it across multiple programs and

revenue-generating initiatives.

Minimize lifecycle cost by

replacing time-consuming

traditional processes with fully

digitized, accelerated solutions.

To enable your product lifecycle

to realize these opportunities

and maximize its business value,

PLM solutions need to:

Facilitate competitiveness

by enabling your company

to rigorously execute lean

lifecycle processes.

Improve business system

interoperabilityby enabling every

entitled lifecycle participant toexchange and share product

knowledge even if this

information resides in disparate

geographic, organizational and

technological domains.

Increase product qualityby

implementing systematic change

controls, accommodating late-

breaking configuration changes,

synchronizing multiple bills of

material, and eliminating

redundant product designs.Optimize the use of factory

resources by linking people,

plants and processes across

your enterprise, accounting for

the impact of design change on

manufacturing and adopting

fully effective design-for-

manufacturability initiatives.

Improve supply chain efficiency

by eliminating delivery delays,

removing collaboration barriers,

reducing part proliferation andfacilitating effective data sharing.

To address these challenges,

UGS offers Teamcenterdigital

lifecycle management.

Teamcenter for engineering process management

Teamcenter Engineering enables product teams to capture

engineering knowledge from multiple MCAD, ECAD, CAM and

CAE systems. Teamcenter Engineering integrates this data into

a single source of product information you can leverage in

automated release, design management, engineering process

management, digital validation, engineering change and team

collaboration processes.

Teamcenter Engineering also enables the open manufacturing

backbone, which, along with its ability to integrate with ERP

systems including SAP, helps companies leverage their engineering

data into manufacturing and production processes.

Classification facilitates the re-use of parts, processes and

knowledge captured from your designs by enabling you to

quickly find information through defined classifications and

standard part, product and process catalogs.

Change management provides preconfigured solutions for

formal and less formal processes to initiate, review/approve

and execute product change on an enterprise basis.

Product configuration includes platform designer capabilities

you can use to manage product variability independently of any

product structure, and product designer capabilities that enable

you to leverage generic modules for specific product variations.

Context management facilitates repeatable product, design

and manufacturing process validation. Advanced features support

high performance, spatial, attribute and classification searching

of complex product configurations.

Lifecycle representations provide the ability to associatively

define multiple representations of different lifecycle stages or uses

for a product or process. For example, Teamcenter can create a

manufacturing planning process, or derive a manufacturing BOM

from engineering.

Teamcenter Express is an easy-to-deploy solution that meetsthe product data management needs of mid-sized companies.

It enables engineers to manage design data and communicate

its intent through workflow processes that incorporate

preconfigured best practices applicable to everyday

Teamcenter for systems engineering

Teamcenter for Systems Engineering provides an interdisciplinary

environment you can use to fully understand your products

and improve product development. By facilitating whole-product

understanding, Teamcenter enables you to align trade-off

decisions made at multiple lifecycle stages with your products

strategic intent.

Systems architect allows you to understand the customer

requirements, program constraints, engineering issues and

manufacturing/supply chain issues that pertain to your

whole product mitigating the risk associated with new

product development. You can optimize your products

on an interdisciplinary basis by simultaneously considering

performance, cost-effectiveness, regulatory guidelines, quality

concerns and reliability considerations. When design and

requirement changes are proposed, you can assess theircost and scheduling impact.

Requirements management enables you to define, capture,

manage and leverage product requirements on an enterprise basis,

as well as verify that your product offerings comply with these

requirements.This allows you to maximize your products' revenue

potential by ensuring that you deliver products aligned with your

strategic intent providing the right product content at the right

time to the right market.

Connected requirements allow you to link requirements with

quantifiable program constraints, including project costs, delivery

schedules and objective measurements such as performance,

ergonomic, usability, reliability, maintainability and regulatory

metrics. Once you establish these requirements and constraints,

you can use Teamcenter to connect these attributes to fine-grain

design elements that you can trace across the configurations and

product definitions that describe a product's various lifecycle states.

Closed-loop feedback alerts lifecycle stakeholders when

program constraints are in danger of being violated and when

review teams need to understand the impact of proposed

design/requirement changes.


11/16

Teamcenter supports compliance management by enabling you

to capture regulatory requirements early in the product lifecycle

and integrate these requirements into the product definitions

that evolve across your lifecycle. By providing process visibility

15/16

Teamcenter allows your enterprise to replicate and synchronize

information across multiple connected applications.

Out-of-the-box application integrations enable

application authors to create information once and maintain

it at the source while subsequently enabling other users to

employ this information throughout the product lifecycle.These integrations automatically register metadata and data

files in Teamcenter when authors initially create or subsequently

change their application data. Teamcenter retains highly accurate

database paths to define where this data physically resides

and metadata (i.e., data attributes) to facilitate rapid search

and retrieval.

Standards-based enterprise application integrations

enable you to interrogate your PLM environment and its

interconnected ERP, SCM and CRM systems. You can draw

unified information out of these systems in real-time and

present it to requesting users, as well as exchange information

between connected applications in response to product-related

changes/events.
