Requirements Management for Energy & Utilities

Requirements describe what the customer will buy to meet their needs and include things such as asset performance, compliance, quality, and service life. Requirements management in the Energy & Utilities industry is critical on capital projects and essential for the closed-loop interaction between Equipment Manufacturers, EPCs, and Owner-Operators.

Our requirements management solution integrates customer needs throughout the asset lifecycle, on a secure and global platform. It enables efficient capture, management, and communication of requirements to everyone involved in asset development.

Understanding customer requirements is critical for today’s complex Energy & Utilities industry. Asset failures, such as those that couldn’t perform as advertised or resulted from misread market demand, can lead to operational issues at the module and facility levels. Missed market opportunities from the inability to identify, capture, manage and implement asset requirements are common. Litigation, severe penalties, and lost market share are some of the costs of not maintaining and validating asset and customer requirements.

Integrating requirements with the asset’s lifecycle is the only scalable way of delivering successful products. This ensures that requirements are captured, related, and accurately maintained in context. It mitigates the risks of non-compliance by tying requirements to downstream implementation processes for continuous asset compliance monitoring.

Our solution lets you manage complexity with the customer in mind and continuously improve quality by understanding and intelligently assessing the impact of changes across the entire asset and lifecycle. It is a systematic, secure, and repeatable solution which enables easy capture, verification, and maintenance of requirements across the entire lifecycle.

Solution capabilities

Explore the key areas of this solution.

Apply Product Configuration to Requirements

Define, configure and compare asset functional structures, work breakdown structures, EBOMs, manufacturing BOMS, and service BOMS.

Integrate Requirements across PLM & ALM

Manage requirements across PLM and ALM. Combine PLM and ALM traceability functions into a single, comprehensive product traceability function – from requirements to software deliveries, to models, and test data.

PLM Foundation

Provide and manage secure, global access to requirements information. Analyze the global impact of change.

Program Planning & Project Execution

Leverage programs to manage the enterprise-wide coordination of asset development initiatives. Create, execute, and manage associated projects, sub-projects, events, deliverables and more.

Report & Specification Generation

Manage, reuse, and control individual requirements like other asset information. Organize and output them in standard formats, and deliver them in documents or online.

Requirements Allocation & Tracelinking

Allocate and link requirements to any product artifact. Gain complete visibility (along with proof) into how requirements are met, verified and validated, within the context of the product configuration.

Requirements Capture & Authoring

Establish a single, secure source of asset requirements. Enable knowledge workers to create and manage requirements using familiar Microsoft applications like Word® and Excel®.

Requirements Change

Navigate traceability to understand the impact of change (downstream from requirements or upstream from design and manufacturing) across the entire asset lifecycle and in current context.

Software Requirements Management

Author, decompose and manage software requirements, tests, and risks. Easily integrate across regulatory, product, performance and other requirements throughout the engineering value-chain.
