13. Perspectives on adaptation of PLM NECESSITY - companies
that are part of global supply chain or design chain need
collaboration tools MARKETING - companies with short
mean-time-between-upgrades, e.g. computer manufacturers SECURITY -
Example 1: eCommerce collaboration between potential client and
designer - Example 2: Software/hardware security (e.g. Microsoft
windows updates)
14. Perspectives on adaptation of PLM.. MARKETING - firmware
upgrades on digital cameras, mp3 players; where the company
captures market by an early release,and later upgrades
functionality PRODUCT STRATEGY - Mass customization and modular
product design companies need - efficient product architectures to
allow part/process reuse over generations GREEN - companies
responsible for recycling of their sold products e.g. printer toner
cartridges, aluminum cans, plastic or glass bottles, paper
15. SERVICE - companies with long-life products, that need
continued repair, service etc. e.g. automobiles. Perspectives on
adaptation of PLM 1. spare parts for older models must be available
2. service manuals 3. testing equipment, e.g. testing onboard
computers and microprocessors, must be maintained 4. Management of
product recalls Ford Explorer, Firestone [2000-2001]: Replaced 13
million tires. Nissan motor [2003]: 2.55 million cars recalled to
fix engine defects; Cost: JPY15 billion.
16. The PLM Software
17. As a manufacturer, customer pressures are not only

embedded software tools, desktopapplications and Enterprise
Resource Planning systems Prevent costly design errors by
controlling and automating product development and service
information processes Improve product quality by eliminating
mistakes associated with duplicate or incomplete data
22. To compete in todays rapidly evolving global environment,
manufacturers must contend with an ever-increasing number of
product performance requirements, such as cost, weight, reliability
and environmental impact, as well as new government regulations and
shrinking delivery timeframes. Keeping up with frequent changes in
product designs, regulations, suppliers and costs, while ensuring
that targets are met, is an enormous data management challenge.
Even the smallest change can affect the product in a major way. Not
keeping up means missed targets, rework, recalls and blocked sales,
which can quickly impact the bottom line.
23. Capabilities and Value Windchill Product Analytics formerly
InSight is a suite of component and bill- of-material analysis
solutions that empower businesses to assess product compliance,
performance and risk, beginning early in the innovation process and
continuing throughout the product lifecycle. These solutions make
product performance analytics an integral part of the product
development process. Acquire data to fully characterize components

27. How to customize Windchill? Windchill is a three-tier JAVA
Runtime Architecture that can be customized in many ways to meet
the customization requirements in addition to the existing Out Of
The Box (OOTB) functionality. There are basically two ways to
customize Windchill based on the level of complexity of the
customization. Lightweight Customization Heavyweight
Customization
28. Windchill Lightweight Customization Adding Windchill Soft
Types. Adding Soft Attributes. Changing the look and feel of the
existing user interface. Text tailoring by altering resource bundle
files (i.e. list of selectable values) Modifying or automating
business logic in workflows. As Out-Of-The-Box (OOTB) features in
Windchill there are existing tools that support Windchill
lightweight customization.
29. Lightweight Customization Tools Name Purpose Initialization
Rules Administrator Change rules that affect newly created objects.
Resource Bundle Files Custom text displayed in drop- down lists.
Attribute Definition Manager Instance-based attributes. Type
Manager Soft type extension Workflow Editor Custom workflow
creation or existing workflow editing. If these tools can not meet
customization requirements, you may need to use Windchill
heavyweight customization.
30. Windchill Heavyweight Customization Heavyweight
customization applies when lightweight customization cannot meet
the requirements. Some examples To create a new user interface. To
add object extensions to the existing data model To add new
Windchill services. To create a new object in the data model.
Complex workflow may involve advanced functionality that requires
heavyweight customization such as calling Info*Engine tasks from
the workflow to perform data manipulation logic on Windchill
objects.
