Montblanc hat die Anwendungen UG und iMAN in 1999 in der Technischen Entwicklung eingeführt. Seither wurden NX- und Teamcenterbasierte Lösungen entlang der gesamten Prozesskette vom Design bis zum Kundenservice integriert. Im Laufe der letzten Jahre wurden viele produktiv nutzbare Prozess-Verbesserungen in NX und Teamcenter implementiert. Diese Digitalisierung der Entwicklungsprozesse hat Montblanc gemeinsam mit seinen Partnern (Siemens, JPC) durchgeführt.
Dieser Vortrag erläutert, wie die Anpassung der CAD-Methoden zusammen mit Freigabeprozessen, Dokumentenanzeige, Änderungswesen, Projekt-Management und SAP-Schnittstelle anhand von Kundenanforderungen bei Montblanc implementiert wurden. Es wird mit Hilfe von Praxis-Beispielen gezeigt, wie mit minimalen Anpassungen des Siemens-Standards einfach benutzbare Lösungen zur Verfügung gestellt wurden, die verbindliche, nachvollziehbare Ergebnisse liefern und zu Zeit- und Kostenersparnis im gesamten Unternehmen führten.

BSH managed to consolidate 27 development sites with 2 Databases (PDM, ADM) each into 1 central PLM Platform. Having all product data in one place is a massive achievement but managing the access to the data was a challenge in terms of supporting business processes and granting or revoking access privileges without paying the price on system usability and performance.
This case study will explain and demonstrate how BSH planned and implemented a PLM Access Management using existing technologies in Teamcenter with configuration and customization.
It will be highlighted how the main pillars - Business Data Model, Organization, Projects and Process Definitions - have been tight together in order to provide a reliable and performant Access Control Concept to a single source of product data embedded in BSH infrastructure. Examples will outline where access management supports business process requirements.

Automation is a key to manage increasing complexity of processes. But the outcome of processes can only be as good as the input... Defining standards is the base to address the challenge. But how to obey standards on a day to day base? A utility is needed that checks standards and helps users to prepare data to comply with them. On top of that: validation needs to be integrated into the processes and managed with Teamcenter. This case study will highlight how the enforcement of M-CAD standards is implemented at BSH in a managed NX environment. It will be shown how to use a generic approach with NX Check-Mate to serve a divers field of application. Emphasis will be put on part classification, automatic and interactive correction of data and how to deal with "acceptable" violation of standards. Examples will be outlined where enforcement of standards will leads to better data quality and therefore process improvement.

PLM has moved away from the traditional role of engineering data management and is now considered a strategic total business support tool, capable of unlocking information and integrating it across the entire value chain.
We ask, do we now need to review the definition of PLM in order to understand it’s complex relationship in and around business.
During this live webinar we will be looking at:
- Core drivers of PLM
- The areas where PLM can make a difference within the business environment
- The prerequisites to an efficient PLM platform
Practical examples will underpin above bullets

Research and Development is becoming more and more distributed and mobile. Authoring applications like NX and TC Engineering still need client applications on workstations and notebooks, which may be distributed across the enterprise.
Now a days it is more difficult to deploy specific and compatible versions of clients, especially when they need to be synchronized with server updates.
A special configuration customization needs to be in place as mobile engineers often require administration rights on their computers to maintain special applications, other than NX or TC Engineering.
This presentation will explain and demonstrate the feasibility of protecting configuration and customization of PLM applications in large scale, distributed industry environments
