• Rapid sense and respond to problems– Incoming part quality– Manufacturing defects– Feedback from warranty data and consumer

related reporting• Need to root cause the problem – need supplier

data: serial number, lot number, etc.• Government mandates

• Continuous improvement

Why We Need Traceability

Pat Snack


• Business Process Work Group:– Use cases, data field list and messages– Alignment discussions with other AIAG

projects• Technical Framework Work Group:

– Infrastructure requirements– Reference architecture

• AIAG Enterprise Interoperability Showcase – Rock Financial, Novi, MI on November 15, 2006

P2B Work Products

Pat Snack


P2B BusinessProcess Group

• You reviewed the use cases and data fields earlier this week

• Other AIAG projects producing similar content:– Early Warning System – Warranty– eAPQP– Dimensional Markup Language– Quality Measurement Data Standard

• Other similar content:– Material Safety Data Sheets– STAR RepairOrder

Pat Snack


P2B TechnicalFramework Group

Draft reference architecture

Will be distributed for review in February

Pat Snack


Next Steps

• AIAG BOD Team working on EWS-Warranty now. Ready for us in March.

• Preparation until then:– UML Class Diagrams– Identify key interactions in the sequence

diagrams, and subsets of data for each– Begin BOD construction using GEFEG tool

• Begin planning for Proof of Concept

Pat Snack


• Have instituted a structured approach to solving business problems:– Based on international standards– Addresses both process and technical solve

• Undertaking several simultaneous projects across the manufacturing enterprise

• Cooperatively working with other organizations
