Dimensional Planning & Validation
Product Overview
Design engineering must define product fit, form and function without placing undue burden on your production costs. Because the links between engineering and production teams span several domains, quality information is not easily shared, management processes are disconnected and multiple tools are needed to reach end results. Without the ability to share and leverage this information you are likely to accumulate excessive tooling and metrology costs while reducing the productivity of many people in many areas.
Dimensional Planning and Validation (DPV) bridges the gap between product design and production by providing the only dimensional quality management solution which captures real-world inspection results and links them to a fully associative lifecycle data model. As a result, you can extend your quality process across your entire enterprise and supply chain, allowing you to design anywhere, build anywhere and sell anywhere with confidence.
By increasing the visibility of as-built quality information, DPV plays a major role in improving quality while reducing the overall cost of quality.
