3. A Typical Product Development Environment As we just reviewed, in a perfect world the process fundamentals of create collaborate and control would work synergistically to support a concurrent product development process that incorporates input from manufacturing, purchasing, marketing, engineering and other key functions early in the design phase. In order to support a concurrent product development process all key stakeholders need timely access to the correct versions of the digital product definition.
Unfortunately, the system that supports most product development efforts today looks more like the spaghetti chart in this slide. Information resides in many different silos, sometimes paper, sometimes digital. It’s hard to find, out of synch and often unreliable.
Such a system is simply not effective in supporting the collaborative needs of a concurrent product development team.As we just reviewed, in a perfect world the process fundamentals of create collaborate and control would work synergistically to support a concurrent product development process that incorporates input from manufacturing, purchasing, marketing, engineering and other key functions early in the design phase.

Change
Configuration
Collaboration
Release to manufacturing
Complete understanding of Pro/ENGINEER items and relationships Windchill 7.0, when combined with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire in PTC’s Product Development System, enables an integral experience for the engineer and allows them to overcome these information-sharing problems. Engineers can easily share, copy, or check in/out complex product information such as multiple types of CAD files, specifications, or requirements into secure, online, self-administered collaboration spaces. Everyday activities like communicating with external customers and suppliers and performing “what if” analyses can then occur without giving access to or impacting data in the formal PDM system. Windchill also enables engineers to distribute finished designs, making sure that other organizations have access to the right information at the right time. Windchill 7.0 offers out-of-the-box integrations to other enterprise systems like SAP for managing their release to manufacturing processes. Users can be notified of changes made in the manufacturing arena and seamlessly initiate the out-of-the-box CMII change management processes within Windchill.

19. Latest Innovation In Product Development– PTC PLM On Demand The evolution of Product Lifecycle Management has, in many ways, been driven by research and development work at PTC. As a world leading provider of integral PLM solutions for discrete manufacturers, PTC has led nearly every major breakthrough in the industry.
PTC’s first MCAD product – Pro/ENGINEER – was a revolutionary success that brought parametric, feature-based, fully associative, solid modeling to the manufacturing industry. What began as hardware independence for Pro/ENGINEER led to an on-going commitment to interoperability and developing to open standards for all PTC products.
Then, with the introduction of Windchill PDMLink and Windchill ProjectLink, PTC was the first to release a pure Internet architecture solution for product data management and collaboration.
Today, PTC’s Product Development System combines our three flagship products – Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, Windchill PDMLink, and Windchill ProjectLink – into the only integral PLM solution available in the world.

20. PTC PLM On Demand Offers Low Risk Adoption Process One final point. The PTC Product Development System can be implemented incrementally. Because the digital model is critical to product development, we recommend that companies consider starting by making sure that their CAD environment is optimized. Then the next foundational step is to put in digital product data management/product data vaulting. This stage could be for the workgroup or the larger enterprise. Once these 2 foundational stages are complete, a company can choose between several process areas. We recommend that you prioritize what to do next based on the specific the Product First Initiatives you have selected. By first choosing a couple of Product First Business Initiatives that will support the company’s strategies, you can ensure that the improvement in Product Development Collaboration, Project Management, Configuration Management, Change Management, or Release to Manufacturing will have the greatest impact.One final point.
