Product Overview

Global production presents many challenges that must be overcome to effectively build products for consumers. While product development addresses the question of “what to build,” several critical questions must also be answered before a product reaches the market. How should the product be manufactured? With what resources? Can it be produced fast enough?

From product concept to end-customer support, the most efficient approach is to have the ability to re-use data easily and cost-effectively. However, this is an extremely complex challenge. By industry estimates, there can be hundreds of pieces of information related to manufacturing for each piece of information related to the product design.

Teamcenter Manufacturing Access provides simplified access to all manufacturing-related information including product, process, resource and plant, allowing all manufacturing teams to work in a collaborative environment. With workflow and change management, engineers from central planning to the shop floor can view any piece of the process structure required to optimize their decision process.
