Customer Expample: Potential of Duplicate Parts Ingersoll Rand (David Owens, PTC-User 2010)
Saving potential (only inventory cost) of 60.000 duplicate parts (5% of all parts) = 30 Mio. US$
Every new part costs 2.775 US$

• Product Development– Single node for search and classification enhanced user experience– Consistent use of the right parts drives re-Use– Unified classification process drives standardization– Less (costly) changes, late in the product development cycle lower costs
• Logistics and Material Management– Less duplicate parts– Less materials in stock– Higher purchasing volumes– Higher focus on preferred vendor/parts lists
