When process designers made changes, they could not use their past experience efficiently or accurately, but had to enter data repeatedly.&nbsp; This dilemma significantly reduced productivity which led the company to search for a solution that would reduce the delivery cycle.<\/P><\/p>\n<p><P><STRONG>Solutions and Results:<\/STRONG><\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Initial attempts to solve problems failed due to implementing non-integrated systems with a great deal of redundancy.&nbsp; Yuchai found what they needed with Siemens integrated solutions that created a unified R&amp;D platform based on NX, Tecnomatix and Teamcenter software.&nbsp; On this foundation, Yuchai developed a complete R&amp;D process featuring standardized tasks and work templates.&nbsp; It consolidated knowledge into the R&amp;D process, and established an integrated system between R&amp;D and other systems and databases.<\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>With Tecnomatix software, Yuchai streamlines activities such as primary process planning, logistics and process lay-out, saving both time and money. Introducing Tecnomatix and other new systems is essential to Yuchai\u2019s success in information-based and digital manufacturing.<\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Siemens PLM Software provides Yuchai with a complete design, data management and manufacturing engineering solution establishing a relatively comprehensive PLM platform.&nbsp; The software has created a foundation that has made the successful transition from a traditional to a digital R&amp;D process.They now have better collaboration and control across functions, including R&amp;D, process, production, purchasing, sales, finance and so on.&nbsp; Now, complaints are rare, and they have attained substantial improvements in efficiency overall. The integrated Siemens digital solutions have brought great benefits to Yuchai.<\/P><\/p>\n<p><P><a href=\"http:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/en_us\/about_us\/success\/case_study.cfm?Component=224755&amp;ComponentTemplate=1481#lightview-close\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Read the complete Siemens &amp; Guangxi Yuchai Group success story<\/A><\/P><\/p>\n<p><P><STRONG>Let us know what you think in the comments section below.<\/STRONG><\/P><\/p>\n<p><P><span class=\"lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center\" style=\"width: 800px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/09\/guangxi-yuchai_large_tcm1023-224756-2.jpg\" alt=\"guangxi-yuchai_large_tcm1023-224756.jpg\" title=\"guangxi-yuchai_large_tcm1023-224756.jpg\" \/><\/span><\/P><\/p>\n<p><P><STRONG>Check out Siemens&#8217; Manufacturing 360 tablet app!<\/STRONG><\/P><br \/>\n<P>Explore the world of digital manufacturing.
