These highly complex, engineered to order products require new variants of parts and designs with every order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor recognized the need to automate repetitive proposal development processes to support their engineer to order products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor adopted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/global\/en\/products\/collaboration\/rulestream-engineer-to-order.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Siemens Rulestream<\/a> to maximize the efficiency of their engineer to order processes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"embed-videomanager\">\n<iframe allow=\"autoplay\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/video.sw.siemens.com\/embed\/ed4b6671-05b0-42b7-babd-95a335d56694?autoplay=true\" scrolling=\"auto\" target=\"_parent\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%;\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><!-- Video Manager -->\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Improving proposal development with automation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor wanted to automate the proposal development for their custom steam turbines and compressors to make it more efficient for their application engineers. Rulestream allowed them to input all the information into one single tool. And, with rules managed within the same system, and they could get then generate the proposal output from the same system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The first benefit Rulestream offered was a reduction in Mitsubishi&#8217;s proposal lead time. Previously, they relied on Excel-based tools for designing the compressor and putting proposals together, but each of those tools were independent and didn&#8217;t adequately talk to one another. This lack of synchronization added complexity to the process as well as the element of human error. By introducing Rulestream and its process automation capabilities, they were able to provide proposals to customers much faster than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-medium-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>What Rulestream helped us with is, if we are doing a proposal, maybe it takes a day or a half a day or so. If it can be cut to one hour, then that means I\u2019m able to do more proposals within the same day that I couldn\u2019t do before. Now you\u2019re doing more proposals and you\u2019re increasing your win rate. And that will translate to an impact in the business<\/strong>.<\/p><cite><strong>Pallavi Baddam<\/strong>, Manager \u2013 US Applications Engineering &amp;<em> <\/em>Process Automation | Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor International<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supporting global processes with a shared knowledge base<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Another important benefit of Rulestream was the ability to centralize rules and knowledge base into one system. Regardless of the engineer&#8217;s location around the world, they are able to readily access the company&#8217;s standards as well as their protocol for handling special requirements. Rather than depending on the Japanese headquarters to always help with proposals, Rulestream allows Mitsubishi to support proposal development effectively from different locations across the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Many other industries including <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/industrial-machinery\/2022\/02\/25\/introducing-siemens-plm-for-machine-builders-available-now\/\">machine builders<\/a> use Rulestream to streamline their engineer to order processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you&#8217;d like to learn more about how product variability management can boost your product innovation, check out this on-demand webinar below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 has-custom-font-size is-style-primary-button\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-gray-dark-color has-text-color\" href=\"https:\/\/webinars.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/product-variability-management-with-plm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u25b6 Variability Management webinar<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor uses Siemens Rulestream to automate proposal development for engineer to order steam turbines and compressors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":84758,"featured_media":12039,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spanish_translation":"","french_translation":"","german_translation":"","italian_translation":"","polish_translation":"","japanese_translation":"","chinese_translation":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[123],"tags":[23254,23252],"industry":[99],"product":[23255,357],"coauthors":[20988],"class_list":["post-12038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-customer-success-story","tag-engineer-to-order","tag-rulestream","industry-energy-utilities","product-rulestream","product-teamcenter"],"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/08\/Mitsubishi-Heavy-Industry-Compressor-Image.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/84758"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12038"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12066,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12038\/revisions\/12066"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12038"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=12038"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=12038"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=12038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
