Take charge of change with Teamcenter

PLM change management | success stories

Product lifecycle management (PLM) change management is one of the most fundamental capabilities in Teamcenter. CMII-certified, closed-loop change management allows you to leverage flexible processes that you can easily tailor to your specific needs.

PLM change management drives execution and provides full visibility and traceability for all stakeholders. You can manage the evolution of your products, issues and improvements with business-wide visibility. When you manage change quickly, accurately and comprehensively, you can respond to market and customer needs.

Our customers often tell us how PLM change management has positively impacted their businesses and products. Let’s hear from a few of them.

Workhorse

Workhorse, a leader in the electric vehicle (EV) industry, had a clear goal: to launch their flagship truck, the W56, under tight time constraints. Workhorse chose Teamcenter X, our cloud-based SaaS solution, to move fast without adding IT complexity or costs.

Designing and building electric trucks often requires a significant amount of part changes. Teamcenter X helped us implement change management both on the process and the systems side.
Jeff Mowry, Chief Information Officer, Workhorse

Hyundai Heavy Industries

Hyundai Heavy Industries, the world’s largest shipbuilder, leverages Teamcenter change management as part of their digital transformation to implement the first PLM infrastructure specialized for shipbuilding, resulting in significantly improved productivity and efficiency. The design process has been standardized, creating a solid foundation for enhanced efficiency and better management of design changes. The new approach minimizes errors and helps in keeping to the schedules by managing workflows and creating to-do lists using Teamcenter.

Teradyne

Teradyne tests and helps to build the world’s most innovative products. They have to find a way to simplify complex product development, like testing a system on a chip, or integrated circuits. One product line could have 150,000 electronic parts and fill up a room with one machine. Those testers are used to test the products that you may use every day. Anywhere chips are tested, you can bet Teradyne is behind the scenes, testing all of the electronic components.

With Teamcenter, Teradyne decreased cycle times for engineering change orders from 90 days to just 14 days, an extraordinary 84 percent reduction. Teradyne has already wrung $2 million in excess costs out of its change management processes.

Fokker Services

Fokker Services is another Teamcenter customer that recognizes the value of formalized change processes. More than just an aircraft maintenance company, as an “out-of-production” specialist, Fokker Services performs aircraft maintenance, modifications and repairs. Changes are introduced to the aircraft configurations during upgrade or maintenance projects. It is vitally important to manage these changes (via the process of engineering change management) and report the changes to the aviation authorities.

Where we previously used expensive and slow paper procedures, we have now implemented all the processes in a transparent way in Teamcenter workflows. It’s an extremely formal process. There’s a change proposal, which is evaluated and the affected components are verified. The system also records that this is being done by certification engineers. The process is solid enough to exclude any mistakes. The Dutch aviation authorities who have certified the working method also agree.
