PTC Manufacturing Process Management solutionProduct Planning: Virtual to Physical

The PTC Manufacturing Process Management solution helps companies define critical manufacturing information such as required parts, processes, skills, resources, and facilities earlier in the product lifecycle to quickly ramp up produc-tion of new products. Since engineering and manufacturing teams now share a single source of design and planning information with a common data model, consistent processes can now streamline the transition from development to production, thus reducing engineering change orders and improving quality.

Key benefits

• Improve time-to-market by rapidly moving products from design to production

• Increase brand quality by reducing engineering-to-manufacturing production issues

• Improve production ramp times by leveraging design data in process planning

•Reduce engineering change orders and rework

•Streamline collaboration with global, multi-site production environments

With the PTC Manufacturing Process Management solution, companies can dramatically reduce time- to-manufacturing while driving down production costs.

in our production process, we use elements of the PTC platform to organize the workflow and handle all the parts in-house so if there is any change in the engineering department, we will see it directly here in our manufacturing process.”– oliver Bachem, Director of operations and Manufacturing, streetscooter, gmbH

Comprehensive Capabilities

Proven in leading manufacturing companies, the PTC Manufacturing Process Management solution streamlines the transition from development to production reducing manufacturing costs and delivering products to market faster. With a single source of design and manufacturing planning information, design teams have early insight into critical informa-tion for better planning and improved time-to-manufacturing.

•Single system: Easily share engineering design and manufacturing planning information in a single repository

- Manage concurrent manufacturing BOMs: Associative eBOMs and mBOMs, plus flexible mBOM definitiion and restructuring

- 3D geometry and 3D plant layouts ensures proper sequencing and assembly steps

•Unify change management: Track and manage engineering and manufacturing changes and product configurations to reduce costly rework

•Manage control characteristics: Identify and maintain critical aspects for faster ramp-up time

• Integral, dynamic work instructions: Optimize production with customized work instructions on plant-specific process plans

• Integration to operations: Enhance integration with production systems

- Publish mBOMs, manufacturing plans, and all pro-cess information to production systems (ERP/MES)

• Reuse libraries of manufacturing equipment and skillsets: Standardized resources and reduce production costs

•Configuration specific process plans: Optimize process flow simulation for streamlined, more cost- effective production
