Challenge

Hear the “Voice of the Customer” Along the Development Process

Implementing a strong requirements management (RM) strategy can help make product complexity more manageable while minimizing time to market. Integrated RM systems can help you capture customer-centered requirements and distribute and enforce them across all design, engineering, testing and order fulfillment cycles. This reduces the number of potential issues and change orders, boosting quality while accelerating cycle times.

Challenge

Leverage “Invisible Governance” for Enabling Agility

An automated project management process boosts quality and efficiency. Dynamic dashboards provide automated, real-time reporting on key schedule, milestone, resource and cost metrics to keep projects on schedule. Non-intrusive governance helps workers better adhere to schedules and enables managers to optimize resources and detect and address potential bottlenecks before they impact operations.

"Only about half of an engineer’s time is being spent on value-added activities, on really focusing on, for example, innovation, engineering design."

Challenge

Reduce Costs of Customization to win in Dynamic Markets

The increasing demand for electronics and software-driven functions are making tight collaboration between mechanical engineers, essential to market success. A common platform for all engineering disciplines helps overcome this challenge. The integration of mechanical and electronic design and validation workflows can boost part and design reuse and accelerate creating variants to serve complex and dynamic demands.

Challenge

Sustain Growth by Mastering Complex System Development

Systems engineering helps develop complex systems with an optimal balance of performance, functionality and price. Model-based systems engineering fosters collaboration across disciplines. This collaboration increasingly extends beyond the boundaries of an organization. As OEM products grow in complexity, suppliers need to attend closely to the interfaces between their components and the larger systems in which they will be incorporated.

Challenge

Optimize Product Performance with Realistic Virtual Testing

Realistic simulation is essential for developing complex systems. It improves the ability of designers to understand and anticipate the behavior of their product in standalone form and as part of a larger system, helping them better manage trade-offs. When simulation is integrated throughout the entire development cycle, it can reduce costs and accelerate time to market as well - by minimizing the need for physical prototyping and testing.
