Significantly reduced approval workflow complexity at Vitra

Time is money - with highly innovative products, time-to-market plays a decisive role. 

With BCT CheckIt to simple and secure processes

Challenges

To remain competitive in a dynamic market, process reliability must be increased in order to avoid errors.

• Reduced "time-to-market" for highly innovative products
• Improve productivity and shorten development time
• Create process reliability while maintaining workflow performance
• Various checks must be carried out at Vitra, such as: attribute check (e.g. item ID pattern), change text; check of the revision counter; owner group of the items.

Goals

Vitra's guiding principle is to create innovative products and concepts with leading designers.

• Quick reaction to increasing customer requirements and current trends
• Higher automation of the release workflows through BCT CheckIt
• Simplify the workflows
• User-friendly and comprehensible release process

Lessons Learned

• For many interrelated release workflows, the Teamcenter workflow handlers are only suitable to a limited extent. BCT CheckIt offers significantly better possibilities here
• BCT CheckIt offers easier handling, better clarity and improved speed for approval workflows
• User-friendliness is the main focus of BCT CheckIt. Any errors are already identified via various checks before the start of the workflow. The users then receive a comprehensible error log and can make corrections.
