PTC Manufacturing Process Management Solution

Product Planning: Virtual to Physical

The PTC Manufacturing Process Management solution helps companies define critical manufacturing information such
as required parts, processes, skills, resources, and facilities earlier in the product lifecycle to quickly ramp up production of new products. Since engineering and manufacturing teams now share a single source of design and planning
information with a common data model, consistent processes can now streamline the transition from development to
production, thus reducing engineering change orders and improving quality.

Key benefits
Improve time-to-market by rapidly moving products from design to production
Increase brand quality by reducing engineering-to-manufacturing production issues
Improve production ramp times by leveraging design data in process planning
Reduce engineering change orders and rework
Streamline collaboration with global, multi-site production environments

With the PTC Manufacturing Process Management solution, companies can dramatically reduce timeto-manufacturing while driving down production costs.

StreetScooter, GmbH

In our production process, we use elements of the

PTC platform to organize the workflow and handle
all the parts in-house so if there is any change in the
engineering department, we will see it directly here in
our manufacturing process.
Oliver Bachem, Director of Operations and Manufacturing, StreetScooter, GmbH

Hitachi Rail Systems

Part inventory levels and component and materials

procurement processes have been optimized. The
Hitachi manufacturing team is now able to create
more accurate plans, and has reduced its production
lead-time, from component order through car assembly
completion, by 20 percent.
