DESCRIPTION
Another engineering area highly dependent upon a well-defined Technical Data Package (TDP) is the creation of in-process inspection plans and manufacturing process plans. DISCUS Desktop enables you to take a TDP and quickly create a consolidated master list of requirements (i.e., the Bill of Characteristics) for the finished part. The DISCUS Planner add-on module adds rich functionality to enable you to assign characteristics to operations, create in-process characteristics for operations, and develop operation-specific process illustrations. DISCUS Planner operates as follows: You start using DISCUS in the same fashion as used for ballooning of the final part drawing – that is, opening the drawing, dropping balloons, snapping rectangles, etc. DISCUS Planner adds user interface elements to manage characteristics for each operation in the routing. For example, DISCUS Planner adds a panel for the part routing, operation details, work instructions, etc. You then assign characteristics to specific operations, even changing the characteristic requirements at a specific operation. As needed, you may create in-process characteristics for an operation that don’t appear on the final drawing. You can create operation-specific illustrations of the ballooned part. When you're done ballooning, you can export ballooned drawings and inspection characteristics specific to each operation. In addition, if you’re using DISCUS Planner for process planning, you can export the entire package – work instructions, process illustrations, and inspection characteristics – to a richly formatted process plan. The primary output from DISCUS Planner is a structured and fully completed set of manufacturing planning documentation. This includes a summary routing – and for each operation – the work instructions, inspection sheets, and process illustrations. In addition to these primary features, DISCUS Planner automatically generates an operations analysis for the user to indicate characteristics where-used and “delta” values by operation. This helps to reduce errors by ensuring that all characteristics are addressed during the specific manufacturing steps. The use of DISCUS Planner has reduced the time involved in creating manufacturing planning documentation by upwards of 50%.

Benefits of DISCUS
1. Focused Tools – DISCUS was specifically created for the Manufacturing Engineers and Quality Engineers and the tasks that they must address. It focuses on the labor-intensive and error-prone work involved in using a TDP.
2. Cost Effective – DISCUS doesn’t require the cost or complexity of learning a CAD tool or consuming a CAD license for ballooning and characteristic identification.
3. Modular Licensing – DISCUS is based on an architecture that enables a company to get only what is needed, and then add functionality later when ready.
4. Market Leader – DISCUS is the most used tool for characteristic identification in the aerospace industry, where companies have actually acquired the suite of tools for their own use and experienced tangible business benefits.

Benefits of DISCUS
5. Comprehensive Requirements – DISCUS addresses and consolidates the requirements of the entire TDP, including material and process specifications.
6. Consistent Operation – DISCUS provides a common user interface and operation for both 2D and 3D, and it works with many different 3D CAD formats, allowing support of multiple customers with one tool.
7. Complete Solution – DISCUS provides a software suite with a shared database, from ballooning and illustrations to reporting and dashboards. DISCUS provides a single source of the truth.
8. Integration Capability – DISCUS enables integration of the characteristic management system with other internal computer systems such as ERP and PDM.
9. Flexible Deployment – DISCUS is based on an technology infrastructure that allows the solution to be externally hosted or installed behind a firewall.
