Evolution of Manufacturing Software

Started with Accounting

(AR, AP, GL)

Labor Intensive

Slow and Error Prone

Executives wanted faster

and more flexible reports

Reports showed too much

inventory

Then Came Inventory

Related Transactions

Labor Intensive Purchase Better

Slow and Error Prone Schedule Better

Ship Better

inventory

That covers it; Right?

Engineering & Shop Floor

Labor Intensive Purchase Better Moved from drafting board

to computer (CAD)

Slow And Error Prone Schedule Better Can’t find documents –

added vaulting (PDM)

What About the Other?

• Imagine if you had a technology that allowed you to focus on the business process

• Let’s look an the Engineering Change Process

What business processes are the

ERP, PLM, MES technology not

supporting in your company?

What areas do you use XLS to

help do your job?

Engineering Change Management:

A Four Step Process

Change Request

Change Notice

Change Order

Change Verification

Change Request• Source

– Customers

– Internal

– Suppliers

• Deviation/Waiver/Permanent

• Should you or shouldn’t you do it?

– Review impact & related costs

– Determine risk

– Other parts, processes, etc.

• Who get’s to vote? – Create some rules.

A Four Step Process

Change Request

Change Notice

Change Order

Change Verification

Change Notice

• Who needs to know about the change and what do they have to do in order to prepare for the change?– Engineering

– Manufacturing

– Quality

– Purchasing

– Marketing (Packaging)

– Customers

– Suppliers

• What needs to be updated?

A Four Step Process

Change Request

Change Notice

Change Order

Change Verification

Change Order

• Everything is ready to go

• When do we start?

– Immediately

– By Date

– By Inventory/production schedule

• Existing parts (rework, scrap, use as is)

• New parts

Engineering Change Management

A Four Step Process

Change Request

Change Notice

Change Order

Change Verification

• Percent of changes that were correct

• Did we get what we expected?

– Cost reduction

– Quality improvement

• If yes, great and review other parts that we can apply

the same change

• If no, start over

Integration Ideas

• Look at the product lifecycle and look for gaps

• Process view, not department view, not a

document view

• Start with a process flowchart

Engineering Change Process

What it actually is:

What you think it is:

What it should be:

Lesson Learned

• Traditional software development that focuses on

databases, menus, and screens is obsolete

• Listen to the people, understand their process,

and help them do it better

• Technology must not be a roadblock that

– Requires extensive training

– Requires expensive customization to fit your needs

– Forces people to adapt to the software

• Help them do their job!!!

Next Generation Software

“If you want the Next Generation of the workforce to

use the software, it needs to look like something

they will want to use…..”

• Little-to-no training

required

• No need to change

existing documentation

• Make their job easier

• Integration to ERP, PLM,

MES should be invisible

Technology Requirements

• Requires little internal IT support

• Rapid web form development & maintenance

• Minimum to no programming required

• Intuitive and graphical workflow definition

• Integration with other applications (web services)

• Rapid updates/improvements

• Support mobile devices/tablets

• Option – Buy or Software as a Service (SaaS)

What is the Goal?
