2 Variability Management product overview Standard products Configure-to-order High complexity Configure-to-order Engineer-to-order BOM Variants Individual Variants TC Configurator Top-Level 150% CTO Configuration Rulestream Top-Level ETO Configuration Configure-to-Stock (CTS) Planned pre-defined set of variants Variant products (Configuration results like BOM, BOP..) managed downstream as individual products Manual BOM edits allowed for individual variants Page 2 Configure-to-Order (CTO) Option/feature management & part usage Rule authoring focused on logical part inclusion/exclusion rules Typically focused on BOM and BOP configuration CAD used for validation of complex configuration results Primary drivers of complexity include BOM solve performance (can be 10K+ orders/day) and managing large volumes of part usage rules Change and Effectivity management Engineer-to-Order (ETO) Engineering calculations and content generation (new part creation) Rule authoring focused on calculations and driving authoring tools for content generation (BOM and all related content) Bi-directional CAX integrations are critical Primary drivers of complexity include capture and execution of complex engineering/design calculations and integrations (client and server) to authoring tools

3 Teamcenter Configurator Data backbone for variability Process Planning Manufactu ring Product Planning Design System Eng. Design Part Master Delivery Manufacturing Simulation Service Single product configuration backbone to support the entire lifecycle from product planning to execution & service Teamcenter Configurator Single Variant Backbone across all domains Separation of product variability definition from content applications Ability to visualize any configuration or a range of configurations Multi-domain impact analysis Fully integrated with PLM change process and effectivity control Page 3

5 Discussion topics : please vote 1. Engineering validation vs. end-user configuration : importance of configuration in Engineering domain 2. Configure-To-Order Integration using Teamcenter Configurator for order solve process, Integration to ERP, Integration to Sales Process? 3. Program Planning: when to start building a configurator in PLM, start with existing product, start with Product Requirements?, when to start Change control of Configurator data? 4. What Configuration activities are relevant for CAD users: Expectations, Key Business Processes, 5. ETO Integration - CTO+E vs. ETO + C? Re-use ETO content in Product Configurator? Examples? 6. Importance of having a module boundary - Modularity : What is the definition of a Module? Re-use, Independence, cross product? 7. Co-Existence Expectation Migration from Classic Variants Experience, Expectation, Pit-Falls? 8. If and how you want to manage Software and ecad Variability? Page 5
