Emerging Industry Demands

Renewed emphasis on affordability and design for manufacturing with Model Based Enterprise (MBE)

Initiatives to reduce transition times from design to production

Greater dependence on the supply chain and the performance of suppliers

Increased quality compliance expectations with AS9100C and PPAP

The Key to the Intersection

The TDP is the key enabler to improvements since it impacts all of the functional areas

TDP Components

The TDP consists of many documents that define expectations for a part or assembly5

TDP Formats

• Source Documents in Various Formats Drawings: PDF, TIF, etc Models: CATIA, NX, Pro/E, etc Specifications: PDF, XML, etc

• Evolving Approach for “Document of Record” Legacy parts primarily drawing based 3D model and Limited Dimension Drawing Full MBE with Annotated 3D model

Accessing the TDP often requires the use of multiple tools such as CAD, PowerPoint, etc.

Drawing Only Model and LDD Model Only

TDP Composition

• Supplemental Approval Status & Change Control Parts Lists Defaults

• Material Specifications Metals, Composites, etc. Chemical Composition, Mechanical Properties, etc.

• Model or Drawing Nominal/Basic Dimensions & Tolerances Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerances (GD&T) Surface Finish Symbols Notes

• Process Specifications Special Processes: Welding, Brazing, etc. Inspection, Testing, Other: X-Ray, Marking, etc.

The TDP files communicate all types of requirements in different structures7

Using the TDP – Identifying Characteristics

Characteristic identification typically involves tagging, decoding, and transposing10

Using the TDP – Identifying Characteristics

Characteristic identification is not a trivial process. It is another source of quality escapes

Improvement Initiatives

MBE – Model Based Enterprise

PPAP – Production Part Approval Process

ESV - Enhanced Supplier Visibility

These are the typical initiatives that require or enable improvement14

Improvement Initiatives & TDP

MBE – Model Based Enterprise

PPAP – Production Part Approval Process

ESV - Enhanced Supplier Visibility

• Identify characteristics more efficiently and earlier in life cycle

• Create more versatile characteristic views for downstream usage

• Associate characteristicswith the manufacturing processes

• Manage risk from the detailed analysis of characteristics

• Collaborate up-front on characteristic requirements

• Track key characteristics as parts are being produced

Each of these initiatives has the use of characteristics as an integral part of the effort15

Bringing Intelligence to the TDP

Address Complexity – extract and manage the complete set of characteristics and requirements from models, drawings, and specifications

Eliminate Redundancy – enable creation of information once that can be shared with engineering, manufacturing/suppliers, and quality

Accommodate Variety – enable the usage of information regardless of the file formats and the approach for the ‘document of record’

Bill of Characteristics (BoC)

Bringing all of the TDP components together to better define common expectations for a part17

iTDP Approach

Create a Bill of Characteristics (BoC) as early as possible in the lifecycle

Use the BoC as the core for collaboration with the suppliers

Leverage the common BoC to reduce redundant analysis and planning efforts

Manage the characteristics in a centralized server to close the loop with design

Benefits of DISCUS for iTDP

1. Focused Tools – DISCUS was specifically created for the Manufacturing Engineers and Quality Engineers and the tasks that they must address. It focuses on the labor-intensive and error-prone work involved in using a TDP.

2. Cost Effective – DISCUS doesn’t require the cost or complexity of learning a CAD tool or consuming a CAD license for ballooning and characteristic identification.

3. Modular Licensing – DISCUS is based on an architecture that enables a company to get only what is needed, and then add functionality later when ready.

4. Market Leader – DISCUS is the most used tool for characteristic identification in the aerospace industry, where companies have actually acquired the suite of tools for their own use and experienced tangible business benefits.

23

Benefits of DISCUS for iTDP

5. Comprehensive Requirements – DISCUS addresses and consolidates the requirements of the entire TDP, including material and process specifications.

6. Consistent Operation – DISCUS provides a common user interface and operation for both 2D and 3D, and it works with many different 3D CAD formats, allowing support of multiple customers with one tool.

7. Complete Solution – DISCUS provides a software suite with a shared database, from ballooning and illustrations to reporting and dashboards. DISCUS provides a single source of the truth.

8. Integration Capability – DISCUS enables integration of the characteristic management system with other internal computer systems such as ERP and PDM.

9. Flexible Deployment – DISCUS is based on an technology infrastructure that allows the solution to be externally hosted or installed behind a firewall.
