Optimization of processes in Teamcenter

Timely manufacturing and procurement must already be considered during design of machinery and equipment

The early release of modules, assemblies and components plays a decisive role

Challenges

• "Time-to-market" is becoming increasingly important as products become shorter-lived
• Productivity increases are indispensable to remain competitive
• Establishment of a process for the validation of new and modified assemblies

Goals

• In the long term, the goal must be to achieve shorter development times by increasing productivity.
• Automatic checks and approvals in Teamcenter with the help of BCT CheckIt to increase productivity 
• Introducing recursive assembly release 

Lessons Learned

• The entry point for the release process at Bausch + Ströbel was the entire machine/main assembly. The check takes place automatically in a workflow, but can also be started by the user
• During validation, the BOM is resolved recursively and validation is applied to each component it contains
• With BCT CheckIt, errors are already detected before the start of the workflow by means of various checks
• BCT CheckIt offers easier operation, better clarity and improved speed for approval workflows
