The scope of our Industrial Engineering project was to “Understand and Implement

ENOVIA SMARTEAM”. This report includes an in-depth discussion on SMARTEAM

while at the same time it provides a cursory view of the user interface of this

revolutionary PLM solution software.

In order to improve the understanding of the readers this report has been written in a

step wise manner, with an industrial problem specified followed by the solution provided

by ENOVIA SMARTEAM®.

SMARTEAM is futuristic software and its understanding will help us in improving the

production and management processes both within and outside PAF.

PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEM

ENOVIA SMARTEAM is PLM (product lifecycle management) solution software.

Therefore in order to understand ENOVIA

need to understand what PLM really is.

With the improvement in technology and

production techniques the market has become increasingly competitive. Hence, if a

company fails to follow the latest trends of the production system its chances of survival

in the competitive market are grim. With t

latest production development techniques this is shown in the following figure

Some of the most common problems associated with a unmanned product information

and process are:

1) Higher Costs

• Can’t find information

• Rework related to incorrect product data

• Incorrect decisions based upon wrong information

2) Sub-optimal Quality

• Unforeseen change impacts

• Limited manufacturing visibility to changes

3) Less Speed and Agility

• Limited visibility into project status and decreased likelihood of on-time

completion

• Serial process management versus concurrent process management

4) Reduced Customer Satisfaction

• Missed deadlines, higher costs, quality & warranty issues

According to statistics:

• 47% of ISO certification failures are attributed to poor document control

• Between 3-7% of technical assets are lost each year due to the loss of misfiled

engineering documents

• 20% of engineering/manufacturing time is spent looking for the right revision of

product information

After considering all these problems Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the

solution all companies should look for. PLM is basically a solution / philosophy that

happen when every piece of information about a product is organized and correlated. It

Spans from product ideation, to design, manufacturing, servicing, and retirement. Larger

companies such as Raytheon, Airbus, Toyota, Audi, HP, Motorola, Caterpillar, Ingersoll

Rand, Nike, have turned to PLM for competitive differentiation

INTRODUCTION

ENOVIA SMARTEAM V 19 is complete PLM solution software. (Product life cycle management). In modern world as products become increasingly complex with costly mechanical, electrical, and software capabilities, customers are demanding products that fulfill their unique needs at the lowest possible cost. To stay ahead of the latest innovations and market trends, companies must transition from traditional design processes to an approach that supports the definition of conceptual product architectures for highly variable configurations. However, many companies today have no simple mechanism for designing products that provide high market variation with technical modularity and cost control. With ENOVIA® SMARTEAM™, companies can define conceptual product definitions that are capable of re-use across a multiple series of products, satisfy market specifications, and provide many possible optional capabilities. These conceptual product definitions are used as a framework for defining variant products that are configurable and drive the generation of design bills of materials. As a result, SMARTEAM helps companies expedite the design process and lower costs while still meeting customer demands. ENOVIA SMARTEAM basically enables companies to manage the conceptual and commercial aspects of their products. System engineers and product planners are able to define a portfolio of products and features with configuration options based on specific customer and market requirements. Moreover, companies can improve their product introduction process and increase reuse as ENOVIA SMARTEAM:

A brief overview of ENOVIA SMARTEAM is presented below. This will be followed by a

detailed explanation of all the different features and benefits of ENOVIA SMARTEAM

later in the report.

Product Portfolio Definition ENOVIA organizes and manages a company’s portfolio of products. Product lines and model hierarchies organize a company’s family of products. Product lines manage a library of mandatory features and rules without compromising organization security. Models and products inherit mandatory features and rules defined and managed by product marketing at the product line level.

Product Planning Before development starts, product managers plan product releases (“product revisions”) that meet market demands and introduce new technologies that provide competitive advantages. With ENOVIA SMARTEAM, product managers innovate during the product planning activities by indentifying the list of candidate features that need to be committed, planned, and developed in a product release. A logical product structure for each product release is defined containing all possible variations. A product release is used as a platform to introduce new variant products with specific capabilities that downstream product sales can configure using marketing options (e.g., color, country of sale, etc.). Product Architecture/Product Decomposition Using ENOVIA SMARTEAM the company can decide weather to adopt a modular or integral product architecture. System Engineering can define a logical product structure based on a hierarchical (skeleton) structure used to combine solutions that derive a family of variant products. By applying marketing variation and rule-based conditions to the logical features, system engineers can increase the usage of common parts between products. At the same time, system engineers are given advanced productivity tools to help minimize feature proliferation. Conceptual design activities allow system engineers to relate physical parts that fulfill each feature’s technical and marketing requirements. Companies can now streamline the design process, maximize part reuse, and minimize feature proliferation. Mandatory Feature Compatibility Rules (Global Rules) Marketing and system engineering can define and manage feature compatibility rules at any level of the product structure. System engineers can define a single compatibility rule at the product line level and force it to be used by lower level products. This capability is known as a mandatory compatibility rule. Product line mandatory rules are visible by lower level products. This new information allows system engineers to make informed decisions when defining compatibility rules within their products. ENOVIA SMARTEAM enables the producers to use BOM Management and BOM comparison utilities to analyze compatibility issues.

Product Variants In ENOVIA SMARTEAM the logical product structure is used as a framework to introduce a family of related variant products with specific technical and marketing options. Product sales can then further configure the variant product with customers. Product variants allow companies to reduce diversity by controlling the variations of products that are available for configuration. System engineering controls product variant content and options by selecting the specific technical and marketing features available for configuration that meet specific requirements( e.g., target sales price, target region, or targeted consumers). During the product variant definition, system engineers use the Product Compatibility Matrix to select features and define their usage criteria as “Mandatory (M),” “Standard (S),” or “Optional.”

Product Configurator ENOVIA SMARTEAM helps companies with highly configurable products meet market diversity requirements. Sales engineers can meet the unique needs of their business customers using the configurator to define new products. For a build-to-market business model, system engineers can pre-define product configurations that are published in a company’s product catalog. In addition, system engineers can create partial configurations for the products they are responsible for that are available to cross functional groups to further define. In order to maximize the re-use of configured accessories and service parts, engineers can create product configurations at any level of the feature hierarchy. When product configurations are created at the sub-feature level, a bill of materials can be generated and submitted to engineering for verification and release. The newly generated top level part assigned to the feature’s configuration is back-annotated and re-used with the feature’s part table. BOM Generation ENOVIA Variant Configuration Central enables system engineers to define a feature architecture that is used as a framework for generating an engineering bill of material (EBOM) for engineering to order (ETO) business models or a precise bill of material (PBOM) for build-to-order business models. A BOM Preview dialog provides users the ability to preview selected parts based on the selected marketing features and evaluated part inclusion rules. Build Management As product configurations are ordered, product planners and manufacturing planners need the ability to plan, manage and structure the builds, also known as units, which are to be delivered to specific customers. The product planner can assign serial numbers, unit numbers and manufacturing sequence numbers to each build that needs to be manufactured for each product configuration. The manufacturing planner can then define the composition of the manufactured serialized units that are installed on the unit. Issue Resolution and Change Management As products enter into the development phase of their project, changes are inevitable but too many changes are cost prohibitive. A cross-functional change process helps system engineers systematically manage and respond to feature changes. ENOVIA Variant Configuration Central provides a choice of change management processes that provide immediate visibility to change requests while maintaining integrity of the original reported problem to the internal resolution.

CATIA INTEGRATION

PROBLEM

One of the major problems faced by producers nowadays is that certain PLM solution

softwares are not integrate able with engineering softwares for example CATIA, SOLID

EDGE etc. this creates great problems as it means that different CAD softwares might

be in use in different departments leading to problems for example the delay of A-380

airbus was caused by the use of different engineering software by the French and the

British as both the softwares were using different measurement standards. These kinds

of errors that would cost million of dollars to the company can now be easily avoided.

Moreover, there is always a problem that different versions of the same software might

be in use that might have compatibility issues.

Another problem faced by the industry is the high cost of product development

management (PDM).

SOLUTION PROVIDED BY ENOVIA SMARTEAM

Keeping the as mentioned problems in mind ENOVIA has provided us the perfect

solution. SMARTEAM is always synchronized with the latest CATIA level allowing

customers to use the most advanced CATIA functionality and explore its full potential.

SMARTEAM allows multiple CATIA releases data to be saved into a given SMARTEAM

release (CATIA V5R15 to V5R17 documents can be saved into SMARTEAM V5R19),

allowing suppliers to deal with multiple OEMs.

It enables concurrent engineering, as it minimizes the amount of documents to be

checked-out by each designer. Several Designers can work with the same data on the

screen and checked-out only a subset of the parts which improves CONCURRENT

ENGINEERING.

Moreover SMARTEAM allows Direct Lifecycle operations from CATIA (Release, check-

in, check-out) with automatic attribute mapping, automatic object creation (for new

parts) and automatic link creation with link typing (design link, downstream application

etc). Furthermore, it also manages formats and links of the different CATIA applications.

With CATIA, designers can efficiently determine the implications of changes to

documents, thus enhancing decision making, improving product quality and reducing

modification costs. With the “Impact Anaysis” tool, users can immediately access the

dependant, linked documents, and for example, analyze the impacts of a 3D part

modifications as related to referenced assemblies, drawings, analysis, documents, and

more.

SMARTEAM significantly reduces PDM costs as it provides simple PDM functionality

and easy usability which requires lesser training costs. CATIA Parts are automatically

created in SMARTEAM. Furthermore there are automatic links created between objects,

there is Automatic lifecycle (save, C/I, C/O, release, obsolete) management, Automatic

revision control i.e. When any document is checked-out (ownership taken by user) a

new revision (new object+copy of latest revision) is created in SMARTEAM and finally

there is the option of Global Refresh (automatic CATIA session refresh on latest

document versions).

SMARTEAM is also also relatively easier to use then other PLM softwares as it provides

Immersive display (Unique display of the lifecycle status of the product documents

directly on the CATIA feature tree designer are used to working with.), Contextuel Menu

(Access to major CAI functionality directly from 3D or 2D tree (Check-Out, Show, Profile

CardL), Silent Life Cycle operations (on setting activation) i.e. Ability to display only

warnings and errors during Life Cycle operations and finally it allows CATIA session

compare with easy comparaison of CATIA & SMARTEAM sessions related to links &

revisions.

Once integrated with CATIA we can use the advanced support tools available in

ENOVIA SMARTEAM to help us in decision making. SMARTEAM fully captures the

CATIA V5, other CAD and product lifecycle knowledge and shares it throughout the

enterprise. Moreover SMARTEAM has the ability manipulate very large and complex

assemblies that is the reason it is used in the aerospace industry.

Furthermore ENOVIA SMARTEAM is very easily embedded in CATIA. SMARTEAM

Toolbar & Menu integrated in CATIA, SMARTEAM application is launched directly from

CATIA and there is also a contextual menu from 3D and from Product tree. Moreover

Lifecycle Operations are operated directly from CATIA

SMARTEAM also has the same 3D manipulators as in CATIA Thus, making our job

easier. In SMARTEAM V5R19 - Project-based authorization is applicable to the “Design

Copy” option as well. The “Design Copy” capability enables users to leverage corporate

IP, save time, and avoid errors, by reusing existing projects and modifying them

accordingly. In order to impose security measures, duplicated designs can be secured

by defined projects.

SMARTEAM helps the designers by automatically managing the visualization files

required for opening a Product in Visualization mode. This is also known as "cache

management. A Part opened in visualization mode can be easily switched to design

mode by a simple double click SMARTEAM guarantees the consistency of the CATPart

files saved in SMARTEAM even if there are not loaded in CATIA (attributes, links and

preview is consistent)

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Installation guide is available with every licensed CD of ENOVIA SMARTEAM.

However, being network software it can not be installed only in a single PC and requires

Microsoft Windows server (SQL Server) for installation.

EDITORIAL OPTIONS

PROBLEM

One of the major problems faced by producers is that during the entire production

process the product manager or the editor has little control over the security of database

and the level of access given to different actors. Hence, this means that sometimes

under qualified personnel might make crucial changes in the design that would later

damage the product’s success and reliability. Hence, it is of extreme importance that

access to certain documents should be limited to only few qualified personnel. Besides

this system would also ensure that each design is checked and counter checked before

being released and this would then surely improve the product quality and reduce the

costs.

SOLUTION PROVIDED BY ENOVIA SMARTEAM

SMARTEAM is an Open Customizable System meaning it can be tailored to fit

Customer business scenario and rules

There are 2 main options to configure the SMARTEAM system:

• By writing additional scripts (programming)

German, Spanish, Dutch, Hebrew, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

• SMARTEAM Data Model Designer : Design the Datamodel

• NLS - Translation utility: Adapt or create new language profiles for Menus and

Icons toolbar

SECURITY

SMARTEAM Secured lifecycle management is supported by an electronic vault -

SMARTEAM – Editor interacts with the electronic vault, embedded within the

SMARTEAM-Foundation mandatory service, to securely manage revisions throughout

the product lifecycle. The administrator selects the vault security level.

The editor can also distinctly manage Checked-in status for collaboration information

and Released status for approved documentation he can also classify documents i.e. he

can define specific SMARTEAM – Editor classes for different documents and/or

different file types. SMARTEAM editor can also create links between documents, such

as a link between a CAD drawing and the dependent model (part) that are automatically

detected and fully maintained

given below.

The editor also has the control over the status of the design his approval is necessary

for release any document. Furthermore, no document can be made obsolete without his

approval. Hence, this ensures that no incorrect or flawed design is released for

manufacturing at the same time no relevant data is made obsolete. The following figure

shows the three important processes.
