Why Else PDX:Why Else PDX:Cost of Product Data Reverse EngineeringCost of Product Data Reverse Engineering

Gross estimate (incoming product data only…)• 5000 design packages in 1998 (50% with CAD …)

• 2500 need reverse eng from reports (avg of 4 days …)

• 10,000 md (30-50 my)

• assume 10 x error in estimate … (still 3-5 my)

• CAD path is better but not perfect either …(1 day … 1 my)

Revenue flow ...• $3B in revenue 1998 (about $8M/day)

• assume 10 large customers ($800K/day)

• how much is a 4 day slip worth to OEMs? EMSs? Suppliers?

• What if reverse eng is not done correctly?

Project

Data ExchangeConvergence Project

Factory Information SystemsTIG

• Created framework forstandardization withIPC

• Made commitment toXML

• Kicked off suite of IPCstandards for shopfloor integration

• Initiated PDX suite ofstandards for SupplyChain Communication

• Forged liaison withRosettaNet

• Addressing industrystalemate in adoptionof CAD exchangestandards

• Initiating standardactivity based onproject results

NuNu –– What is PDX? What is PDX?

• A simple standard

• Published by IPC

• XML format

• Used to exchange BOM, change order, as-builtconfiguration & quality information.

PDX 2.0 PDX 2.0 –– Keeping Up With User Needs Keeping Up With User Needs

Expanded BOM Level Information Tracking• Costs

– To support on-going dialog and cost management, not RFQs– To support lifecycle decisions:

• making large last-time buys• grey market acquisitions

– 20 optional cost fields• Learning• Set-up• Materials• Processing

• Environmentally Sensitive Attributes– Material content– Power consumption


PDX 2.0 PDX 2.0 –– Keeping Up With User Needs Keeping Up With User Needs

Role-based access, views and generation of PDXpackages

– One product, multiple production sites• Vary product content of a single product per mfg location

– Treat as a single product with different sets of information– Eg:

» effectivity dates &dispositions» AMLs» item attributes

• PDX currently would treat as separate BOMs

– As designed, as built – already supported in PDX 1.0

Support for archiving– PDX was designed for transfer


PDX IPC 2577 PDX IPC 2577 –– Rounding out the Suite of Rounding out the Suite ofStandards with Quality DataStandards with Quality Data

IPC 2577 - Communication of Quality Product Data

Supports 4 Quality Exchange Scenarios

• Set-up and Update– Key data codes and descriptions

– Establishes expected reporting requirements

• Incident Management

• Regular Reporting

• Repair / Failure Analysis

Status– Released for vote as "final draft“

– Comments due October 20!


PDX Status: Integration With Other StandardsPDX Status: Integration With Other Standards

Integration with RosettaNetStatus:

– Currently integrated.Open Actions (for Future Versions):

– Integrate 2577 with PIP 7C6 version 1.2 once its complete– Collaborate on BOM-level tracking of environmental information

Integration with Other IPC Web StandardsStatus:

– Discussions with 2581 team held; no structural incompatibilitiesbetween 2581 and PDX found

Open Actions:– Generate report detailing how to map between PDX and 2581,

once 2581 is mature– Transition PDX from XML DTD to XML Schema– Review entire matrix for compatibility, harmonization


WhoWho’’s Using PDX?s Using PDX?Some Anecdotal EvidenceSome Anecdotal Evidence

• Lucent uses PDX with all their major subcontractors

• Celestica receives about 25% of their BOMs in PDX

• Sanmina-SCI is using PDX for internal site-to-site transfers

• There are a number of vendors & small players that have contactedthe committee for support

• Agile data (from Feb. 2003)– In 2 years about 1500 companies or divisions of companies have

downloaded one or more copies of Agile Express (Agile's PDX viewer)

– In terms of those that use PDX with their supply networks, the mostprolific are Echostar, Zhone Tech, and Therasense in Medical

– Other customers using PDX to exchange data within their supply chain:Adept, SLR, SSCI, CreoProducts, Peso Switching Systems, MitsubishiWireless Communications, Juniper Networks


PDX Needs You ToPDX Needs You To……..

Review IPC 2577 – Quality– Webstds.ipc.org– Comments due October 20, 2003

Consider implementing PDX within your integrationarchitecture, or looking for additional ways to leverage it

Help promote the use of PDX– Help quantify current PDX adoption– Help delineate value proposition– May want to look at doing whitepaper, or series of whitepapers– Become a trainer!


PDX Needs You ToPDX Needs You To……..

Provide guidance for PDX 2.0– priority of needs– approaches to the structure of the PDX suite of standards, as

it grows in complexity– importance and timing of conversion to Schema

Provide MUCH needed Technical Resources:– XML expertise to support structuring of PDX Version 2,

creation and editing of sectional standards which include XMLexcerpts and graphics, Proposals for XML Schema

– Committee participants to contribute to technical discussionsand to resolve any comments resulting from standards ballots

Join our bi-weekly conference calls
