Teamcenter 8 includes new functionality designed to increase productivity in the consumer packaged goods, food and beverage industry. You can realize higher efficiencies in four key areas of the idea-to-shelf innovation process including packaging and artwork, global specifications, brand management and initiative management.

Packaging and Artwork Management

• On-demand visualization at any point in the development process aids collaboration with outside agencies, suppliers, and internal team members, allowing you to reach an approved package and artwork design more quickly.
• Requirements driven design helps ensure that regulatory, retailer and consumer needs are incorporated early in the design process.
• Quickly find and reapply relevant drawings, artwork files, approved copy and translations, improving the productivity of the packaging and artwork process.

Global Specifications Management

• More than static electronic documents, Teamcenter intelligently associates specifications that originate across the organization, giving you full-scope product views.
• Understand the impact of a change, populate the change through all associated specifications, and make it available for global, regional or factory-specific consumption.
• Rationalize and standardize specifications, to decrease complexity without sacrificing brand promise.

Brand Knowledge Management

• Quickly distribute the correct brand assets to the correct trade partners, to help ensure consistent brand communication to the market.
• Organize brand knowledge through classification and hierarchy, to make the brand’s past genealogy, current performance and future product and communication plans come together in an instant.
• Populate Global Data Synchronization Networks (GDSN) quickly and accurately.

Initiative Management

• Teamcenter Portfolio, Program and Project Management now features a budgeting function to help better manage available resources and capacities.
