The Linked Data Framework infrastructure for the PLM-ALM integration is the foundation for a managed cross domain change process.
This interaction allows companies the ability to coordinate product changes and eventually the release process. The Teamcenter workflow can restrict when the next state is reached based on the related Polarion tasks.
A Teamcenter workflow, with connectivity to the related Polarion activities, provides an encompassing process to control how and when tasks are completed across the applications. Full traceability to problem reports (PR), engineering change requests (ECR) and engineering change notice (ECN) tasksĪn example of how this workflow can manage this process can be seen above.Instant impact understanding of software changes on product performances and supports “what-if” analysis.Accurate and more collaborative product decisions (with justification).Better impact analysis of software changes on your products.This process which spans across Teamcenter (PLM) and Polarion ( ALM), allows you to manage multi-domain change workflows which leads to: After implementation is complete, the product data is released inclusive of all the hardware and software changes. Once the analysis is complete and a Change Request is approved, the system aids and tracks the engineers execute and implement the changes simultaneously on the both HW and SW side. Typically, when you initiate a Product Change request, it triggers an impact analysis which requires a review of related hardware and software information.
So, how can you ensure all of the change-driven activities are completed across different design teams? How can you prove compliance or capture an audit trail of the work? How do you effectively communicate where you are in a release or approval process? These are key questions that all companies need to answer in order to deliver quality products.ĪLM-PLM Integrated change management processĪn integrated, orchestrated, and closed-loop change management process is needed to handle these challenging questions. Knowing and even expecting that change is coming requires companies to properly plan for how to handle them and when the change impacts multiple groups, the challenge of managing the change grows exponentially. This is especially true in developing complex electromechanical or mechatronic products. The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus, put it this way, “The only thing that is constant is change” (he may actually want to update that quote to mention that the speed of change is accelerating). Managing complex products requires coordinating change across ALM-PLM (software and hardware) throughout the development process.
