Experience assembly planning with Easy Plan
Manufacturing Process Planning
Efficiently plan and communicate your manufacturing processes
Author, analyze, and manage manufacturing process plans more efficiently and communicate them throughout your organization and extended enterprise more effectively.
Teamcenter software's Manufacturing Process Planner and Easy Plan applications allow manufacturers to create and manage the manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM) and the bill of process (BOP) to capture “what to make” and “how to make it”. These applications provide close collaboration between engineering, manufacturing, and execution by leveraging Teamcenter workflow, change management, and configuration capabilities. Manufacturers can use Teamcenter Manufacturing Process Planner and Easy Plan solutions to standardize and re-use assembly processes across multiple plants, capture work instructions for the shop floor, perform detailed time analysis, balance production lines, and much more.

Create Shop Floor Work Instructions
Teamcenter software’s Manufacturing Process Planner and Easy Plan applications provide an easy to use environment to author the textual instructions for operations under the bill of process (BOP) and an auto-completion tool to reference parts, resources, and visual aids that users would like to document in shop floor work instructions. This eliminates user errors from manual typing and increases quality. Symbols, hazards and standard text fragments are available for textual instructions and ensure reuse of company standards. Visual aids can be created in the 3D graphics to guide shop floor operators in their daily assembly work while using the Electronics Work Instructions (EWI) application.

Create and Manage Process Plans
Teamcenter software's Manufacturing Process Planner and Easy Plan applications provide manufacturing engineers the means to create and maintain the bill of process (BOP).
Users can easily create processes and operations within the BOP to represent the sequence of steps in their assembly plans. They can assign the relevant parts and assemblies from the MBOM to specific operations, along with the required tools and resources from the bill of equipment (BOE) or through a library of classified objects. Changes coming from product engineering can easily be streamlined into the BOP using accountability check tools, ensuring that engineering and manufacturing are kept in sync.
Easily Reconcile Engineering and Manufacturing BOMs
Maintaining engineering and manufacturing BOMs in disparate systems can cause inefficiencies when product designs are frequently updated and launch schedules are constantly squeezed. With an integrated product and process development platform in Teamcenter, manufacturing engineers can quickly update process plans according to the design changes.
Using a set of powerful BOM accountability check tools in Teamcenter software's Manufacturing Process Planner, Multi BOM Manager, and Easy Plan applications, product and manufacturing engineering can quickly visualize and validate the impact of any product and process changes avoiding expensive late-stage identification of issues in production.
Estimate Operation Times and Perform Line Balancing
Teamcenter software's Easy Plan application provides a comprehensive set of time management and balancing solutions including time analysis capabilities using time standards, such as MTM, and application embedded integration to TiCon. Easy Plan supports lean initiatives by ensuring a clear visibility to value-added and nonvalue-added activities.
Easy Plan Line balancing displays the rolled-up times for the operations, stations, and operators as well as the cycle time and wait time in the plan. In this way, the software allows you to optimize the plan to a target Takt time, optimize the operator work in the line and evaluate alternative plans.
