ENOVIA

PLM platform for product lifecycle management: requirements, changes, configurations, and team collaboration.

Innovation increasingly means that global teams collaborate with global information in a social context—and do so clearly, confidently, and consistently.

Built on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, ENOVIA enables your innovators to reap the benefits of real collaboration. Easy to acquire, quick to learn, and simple to use, ENOVIA is reliable and secure enough to manage even the most confidential and critical data.

OPPORTUNITIES

Global Product Development

Targeted prototypes ZERO and ZERO BOM errors

In the new era of manufacturing, news about your product launch instantly reaches consumers around the world. However, if the product is not immediately available in a region, consumers will turn to alternatives. Gone are the days when a product is first released in a developed market and then in the developing world. A well-organized global launch is quickly becoming a business imperative to achieve a higher return on investment.

Key benefits
  • Simultaneous launch accelerates volume growth from global markets, allowing profits to be realized earlier
  • Profits increase as economies of scale are achieved earlier and price premiums are maximized.

Configuration Management

Managing conceptual and commercial aspects of products

Define conceptual product definitions that can be reused across multiple products to meet market specifications and provide additional capabilities. These definitions serve as the basis for defining configurable product variants and drive the creation of engineering bill of materials (EBOM).

Key benefits
  • Create product configurations for release as solutions in the product catalog
  • Create product configurations for project analysis in Dassault Systèmes design and engineering applications.
  • Create product configurations to start the NPI process for new custom products.

Global Design Management

From product data management to integrated design management

Support the entire product development process by providing early access to design information and enabling the enterprise to collaborate before final product decisions are made.

Key Benefits
  • Provide real-time access to the right data at the right time
  • Give other stakeholders in the company (product development, manufacturing, purchasing, etc.) real-time access to design data throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Work with multiple CAD design tools

Global management of engineering production and product support

Seamless collaboration across extended enterprises

Ensure control of material specifications throughout the product lifecycle—from design to manufacturing, planning, and all the way through to production and maintenance.

Key benefits
  • Promote global reuse of parts and standardization to optimize product management, design, manufacturing, and procurement processes.
  • Manufacturing organizations around the world have access to bills of materials and other product development information, enabling real-time collaboration across all engineering disciplines.

Product Planning and Program Management

Target ZERO product delays

Imagine your company has several parallel projects, multiple suppliers, and your team introduces thousands of new parts every year! With ENOVIA's product planning and program management solutions, you can now manage even the most complex processes. ENOVIA provides "invisible management" that reduces risk and identifies problems before they fully manifest, allowing you to manage project updates with delivery status.

Key benefits
  • Identify the optimal combination of product capabilities to meet market needs and minimize design costs
  • Plan and track all aspects of the product development process in real time as work is completed.
  • Plan and manage resource allocation based on real-time availability information.

Strategic customer relationships

Towards ZERO product failure

In the experience economy, customers play a more active role in communicating their requirements and preferences for the products they buy. This phenomenon requires the ability to manage customer requirements not as an afterthought, but as an integral part of the product development process. ENOVIA's approach to requirements-driven system design and product development based on the desired customer experience is visible to all stakeholders.

Key benefits
  • Identify customer needs and drive further development by planning new products with the greatest market impact, allowing you to work collaboratively with your customers.
  • Prioritize requirements based on value delivered
  • Model systems with interactions and analyze the impact on experience

Strategic relationships with suppliers

Zero delay target

In this new era of manufacturing, your suppliers are a critical component of the value chain. Successful companies have recognized the importance of supporting suppliers in such a way that the relationship goes beyond a supplier-OEM association and becomes a collaborative partnership. ENOVIA for Supply Chain enables companies to leverage the capabilities of the supply chain throughout the product lifecycle and make their suppliers an integral part of product development. Supply chain network capabilities enable companies to securely engage supply chain personnel throughout the product lifecycle.

Key Benefits
  • Collaborative Sourcing implements a "design for supply" strategy with repeatable and standardized direct sourcing processes that provide the latest design information to the supply chain and valuable supplier proposals for design.
  • Supplier performance monitoring strengthens supplier partnerships by developing, implementing, and tracking part qualification plans, supplier development plans, and scorecards.

IP Classification and Protection

Intellectual Property Protection

Companies face challenges in many areas when developing and launching products and services. Market opportunities exist for good ideas, but they can be in many places and include variations to serve those markets. Intellectual property (IP) is created that reflects the complexity of the product (specifications, requirements, geometry, models). In addition, the processes used to define, model, and execute must be properly managed to launch products globally and simultaneously. IP is what provides a firm's competitive advantage. Therefore, a firm's ability to protect this intellectual property is critical to the company's success.

Key Benefits
  • Organize data in multiple ways that best suit EACH role or action.
  • Eliminate file-based data sharing
  • Put day-to-day IP management in the hands of users
  • Keep a history of data access and downloads for important IPs
  • Track IP usage across different projects and clients
  • Use product information from other enterprise systems by integrating their intellectual property into the context of product development business processes.
  • Classify intellectual property and apply security requirements to comply with regulations such as ITAR.

Quality and compliance

Target ZERO rework

Today, effective quality assurance methods include formalizing the process after a quality issue has been discovered or raised. These issues arise on site or in the development and launch process itself. Some solutions focus on various tools to prevent quality issues, such as quality function deployment (QFD), failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), etc. These disciplines and processes have been promoted as a mechanism for preventing problems and improving quality for many years.

Key benefits
  • Providing compliance data to a wider audience, enabling more effective decision-making and raising awareness
  • Integrate supplier declarations early in product development
  • Design for materials and monitor in real time
  • Ensure end-to-end traceability throughout the development process, which can be used to analyze impacts.
