Across PLM, MES and ERP
without the gaps

The design says one thing, the shop floor does another, and the gap between them is where the cost lives. Both are recorded, in systems that were bought separately.

  1. Source 01 Design and BOM
  2. Source 02 Work instructions
  3. Source 03 Production records
  4. Source 04 Supplier data

The problem

The knowledge is already there. It is scattered across the shop floor.

PLM knows the design, MES knows what was actually built, ERP knows what was bought. Any question worth asking crosses all three, and the joins between them are done by people with spreadsheets.

An example question, answered from four connected sources Asked: What does switching the M8 fastener supplier affect? Answer: 12 assemblies in 3 product lines. Two work instructions still name the old part and need updating. Sources: BOM, 12 assemblies (design and bom), WI-302 and WI-318 (work instructions), Line 2 build records (production records), Supplier change notice (supplier data).

What changes

Trace changes from design to shop floor

01

Change impact, visible

What a design change touches downstream, before it reaches production.

02

Work instructions found fast

The right revision for this line and this variant, without hunting through document control.

03

Non-conformances in context

Resolved against production history, supplier records and every similar case already closed.

In practice

Where downtime is the unit of cost

An hour of line stoppage is the budget for most of this.

  1. 01

    Faster fault resolution

    The last time this happened, what fixed it, and whether the fix held.

  2. 02

    Supplier quality

    Defect patterns tied back to batches, suppliers and process steps.

  3. 03

    Field history reused

    What the product does after it ships, fed back to the people designing the next one.
