Efficiency and quality improvement in complex system lifecycle management
Deadline
Challenge
In the various phases of engineering complex systems, especially in engineering-to-order projects, data such as specifications, data sheets, reports, models, drawings, supplier information, and quotes are collected in separate systems like PLM, CRM, ERP, etc.
While an internal process model, often based on knowledge graph technology, effectively manages system data and workflows, handling third-party documentation remains an enormous challenge.
The information related to third-party products is typically stored in traditional documents like offers, specifications, invoices, RFIs, making it a time-consuming and error-prone task to manage and trace such data. The ideal solution would involve the (semi)-automatic integration of third-party documentations into internal engineering processes and workflows. Achieving this could significantly enhance the efficiency and quality of managing the lifecycle of complex systems.
Project goal
This project aims to:
- Enhance engineering support for complex Engineer To Order Projects during the entire lifecycle;
- Increase engineering quality by standardization of workflows for (3rd parties) document registration, verification and validation processes;
- Better support in knowledge handover to new project stakeholders.
