Keeping your projects on track and managing tasks and deliverables is key to your success in getting products to market on time. But how do you ensure that task assignments get to the right project members? Especially to those members who are outside of your Teamcenter environment? With Supplier Program Management, you can plan and execute supplier projects within the context of your overall programs. This provides visibility into and traceability of supplier deliverables, to reduce your cycle times and shorten time-to-market.
You can initiate data sharing from Teamcenter task workflows and assign tasks to suppliers who are not internal Teamcenter users. Your suppliers receive notification of task requests through a secure supplier portal, which include instructions and reference data. Suppliers can then respond to the requests by uploading and submitting their deliverables. After approval, incoming deliverables from suppliers can then be aggregated to the product definition in Teamcenter.
