• Manufacturing Process Planner (MPP) allows design, engineering, manufacturing, plants and suppliers into Virtual Enterprise.
• MPP helps manufacturers implement the best production planning strategies by evaluating Alternative Manufacturing Scenarios, maximize resource utilization and optimize throughput.
Manufacturing Process Planner (MPP) allows design and manufacturing engineers to concurrently develop product and manufacturing planning. This collaboration framework ensures that manufacturing constraints are reconciled during product design and vice versa. Using Teamcenter’s change management capabilities, manufacturers can understand and react to changes originating at any pointin the design/plan/manufacture cycle.
By connecting all members of the design/build process — from design, engineering and manufacturing, to plants and suppliers — into one virtual enterprise, MPP helps manufacturers implement the best production planning strategies. MPP allows manufacturers to evaluate alternative manufacturing scenarios, maximize resource utilization, and optimize throughput at the very early stages of concept planning. It also provides a platform for developing common standards and allows them to be enforced with controlled flexibility in global manufacturing locations.
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.
Teamcenter enables you to capture and manage manufacturing data, processes, resources, and plant information in the same single environment that you use to manage your product data.
With Teamcenter Manufacturing, companies are able to:
Avoid product quality issues by integrating quality parameters as part of the manufacturing planning process.
Manufacturing Process Planning provides customers a single, scalable and secure source of manufacturing data that supports lifecycle processes from engineering through production. With a fully managed, single source of knowledge for products, processes, resources, and plants, customers can increase manufacturing’s influence on product innovation to drastically improve profitability, time-to-market, and quality.
