Optimize your engineering projects with Teamcenter’s Master Document Register and Transmittals solution, ensuring seamless document management, enhanced collaboration, and timely deliverables.


πŸ“‚ Create a centralized document repository

The Teamcenter MDR&T solution provides a centralized repository for storing all project engineering documents. This eliminates the chaos of scattered files across various platforms and ensures that team members can easily access the latest versions of documents from a single source. With robust version control mechanisms, organizations can track document revisions, review historical changes, and mitigate the risk of working with outdated information.

🀝 Seamless collaboration with project stakeholders

Engineering projects typically involve multidisciplinary teams of internal and external stakeholders, including suppliers, certification agencies, and customer users, each contributing their unique expertise. The Teamcenter MDR&T solution facilitates seamless collaboration among these teams by offering secure access controls, standard workflow templates, and auto assignments for multidisciplinary reviews. Whether conducting interdisciplinary reviews or coordinating document transmittals, project stakeholders can collaborate effectively, regardless of their geographical location or time zone.

πŸ“„ Efficient management of transmittals

Submission of project deliverables on schedule is crucial to maintaining the project timeline and avoiding costly delays and rework. The Teamcenter MDR&T solution’s transmittal function allows organizations to formally share project deliverables with both internal and external stakeholders for review, approval, and consumption purposes. Customer organizations can also send responses, comments, and approvals on submittals. The Teamcenter MDR&T solution keeps records of when documents were submitted for review and approval and when responses were received. It also provides automated notifications and reminders to avoid delays, efficiently handling both outgoing and incoming transmittals.

πŸ“ Standardization and adherence to industry standards

Ensuring uniformity and adherence to regulations across project documents is essential for project success. The Teamcenter MDR&T solution facilitates standardization by implementing predefined document templates, naming conventions, document IDs and numbers, and approval workflows. It incorporates industry best practices and standards like the Capital Facility Information Handover Specification (CFIHOS). It also offers robust audit trail capabilities, allowing project managers to track document changes, approvals, and compliance with industry regulations.

πŸ” Enhanced visibility and traceability of deliverables

Many capital projects have milestone payments associated with the submission and approval of deliverable documents, making the monitoring of document status critical. The Teamcenter MDR&T solution provides stakeholders with visibility and traceability of deliverable status and metrics throughout the project lifecycle. From document creation to final delivery, stakeholders can track the progress of documents, monitor deadlines, and identify potential bottlenecks in the process. It includes interactive dashboards and reports so stakeholders such as project managers, engineering managers, and document controllers can easily track key metrics such as planned versus actual submissions, pending submissions, overdue submissions, and more.

πŸ”— Seamless integration with project and vendor management

Project management tools are essential for managing capital projects and keeping overall projects on schedule, scope, and budget. The Teamcenter MDR&T solution integrates with your integrated master program, facilitating the alignment of document workflows with project milestones. It connects document repositories with project work breakdown structures and task scheduling, as well as resource allocation and progress tracking systems, enhancing overall project coordination, optimizing resource utilization, and minimizing the risk of communication breakdowns. Combined with Supplier Connect, Owner Operators (O/O) and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) firms can collaborate more efficiently with their suppliers. Supplier Connect enables the onboarding of suppliers with controlled access for uploading and downloading project deliverables and participating in review and approval workflows.

🏁 Streamlining the document handover process

The handover of project documents marks a pivotal milestone in project completion. However, O/O and EPC firms often encounter difficulties in locating the most recent approved documents, especially when dealing with a large volume of documents. The Teamcenter MDR&T solution enables continuous handover across the project timeline as well as bulk electronic handover at the end of the project. Organizations can classify handover documents with external submission flags and easily find the latest approved deliverables for handover.

Effective management of project engineering documents and transmittals is essential for the success of engineering projects. The Teamcenter MDR&T solution serves as a catalyst for streamlining document workflows, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, ensuring compliance, and enhancing project visibility. It enables capital project engineering organizations to navigate the complexities of document management with confidence, drive innovation, and deliver value to stakeholders.
