4.1.2. Target groups

Strategic parts management is functional, integrating, standardizing!

  • Functional parts management

    Target group: Design/engineer

    - Digital parts libraries
    - Large content; Today 500 catalogs, standards, company´s standards, symbols, etc.
    - SmartPARTS -->Kinematics
    - Diverse research and finding methods
    - Geometric similarity search
    - Plant parts can be managed under the same interface
    - Classification system
  • Integrated parts management

    Target group: IT/ERP/PLM

    - Workflows:
    Existing CAD purchased parts/ components with material master and documents are removed (checked out) after selection via PARTsolutions from the EDM/PDM. New CAD purchased parts/components are generated as native (original) CAD-Geometry in PARTsolutions and checked in with the available attributes corresponding to the company´s individual workflows in ERP/PPS and/or EDM/PDM; if need be creation of a new material master in the ERP/PPS; then if need be creation of a new document master in the EDM/PDM; if need be only now transfer to the CAD system
    - Always up-to-date parts thanks to update concept
  • Standardizing parts management

    Target group: Management/ Cost reduction

    - Integration of ERP -> All information in one interface
    -Central creation of new parts
    - Export filter functions -> Part reduction
    - Supply chain optimization
    - Geometric search/comparison
    - Duplicate reduction
