The Product Lifecycle process
Product\System Specification
Project Scheduling
Detail Design
Manufacturing and assembly
Quality Assurance
Design creation and Validations
Product acceptance
Project Management process
Issues:
• Manual status updating (Labour Intensive and person centric)
• Reports can be manipulated
• Reactive approach for resolution
B – Detail activities and Steps (MS Excel)
A – Project Scheduling (MS Project)
A – Dynamic Dash Board B – Real time Reports
LEAN Solution:
• Automatic updates
• Real time reports
• Pro active approach
Reports & Dashboards
WE CAN’T
How do we enforce the process
Quality Management systems
Challenges : • Cannot enforce process. • Error due to process deviation. • Manual audit process
QMS Process enforced
Solution:
• Standardisation of processes and templates.
• Quality enforced through processes.
Workflow Process
Enterprise data management
The Challenge :
•Manual process (human error, labor intensive)
•No way to standardise the storage process
•Cannot ensure access to the latest information.
Windows Explorer Folders FTP
Current methodology of data Management
Part & BOM Management
The Challenge :
• Manual Part number and categorization
• Linking Documents to Parts
• ‘Top Down’ or ‘Bottom Up’ for BOM build approach.
DIR\P11\UJR
Multiple software data management
The Challenge :
• No integration between applications
•Manual process (Labor intensive and time consuming)
• Data stored separately.
Multiple locations
Corporate Office
India
Out source Mfg
(e.g. APAC, China)
Other Office and
Procurement Office (e.g. Each region)
Vendors (material
suppliers) Global locations
Collaborators or JV
(e.g. Europe, USA, etc.)
The Challenge :
• Communication thro’ different time-zones
• Time & cost associated to on-site meetings
Project Communication
The Challenge :
• Not synchronised to projects
• Faxing of documents/drawings unreliable/not sustainable
MS Outlook / Mail
Engineering Outputs from Internal Engineering team.
Customer, Vendor drawings & documents
Data Types:
• 2D drawings ( CAD files, PDF or converted files)
• Documents (MS Office, PDF files)
• 3D models and its extracted drawings.
Types of Deliverables handled
