3 Improve ETO Process by Reducing Engineering Time and Errors About Me Luke recently accepted a new role as the Global CAD/ PLM Admin for an Emerson Business Unit with multiple locations in various world areas. This responsibility has included managing a global project to migrate legacy engineering data from various data management systems into a central location, with Teamcenter as the PLM. He used various CAD programs while acquiring experience early in his career in metal fabrication design, as well as IT Network design. He began his career with Emerson as a drafter, acquiring additional engineering responsibilities over the next 18 years. Before accepting his new role, he was supporting 3 different product lines, being the primary engineering support for 2 of them. As an ETO Engineer he gained experience in hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical control systems and design. During this time he served as the CAD Admin for his location.. Page 3

4 Improve ETO Process by Reducing Engineering Time and Errors Agenda - Review ETO process and challenges posed for reduced lead time and limiting BOM errors - Demonstrate how creating a 100% BOM in Solid Edge is used to generate Manufacturing BOM with no direct interface between SE and ERP System by using Solid Edge and Teamcenter properties. - Highlight how the use of skin copies and BOM structure reduces design time for ETO Process and learning curves for new engineers. Page 4

5 Legacy ETO BOM Creation Process 1. Locate reference, similar BOM via order sheet or Solid Edge properties. 2. Print BOM to EXCEL. 3. Manually manipulate BOM, adding, removing components. 4. Manually enter the BOM into ERP Some BOMs include 100 or more components (including hardware) Results: - Lots of manual effort, time - Increased opportunity for error - Relying on memory to capture all required components Page 5

6 Manufacturing BOM - Setup Initial planning included identifying major components and creating skin copies using standard modeling process across all model sizes. Same reference planes, cutouts, etc. Page 6

7 Manufacturing BOM - Setup It also included identifying which property would be used for MBOM item number (In some cases this is different than the EBOM item number) Page 7

8 Manufacturing BOM Each component required for the MBOM is placed inside the assembly, complete with tubing or framing. Utilizing skin copies for proprietary data makes it possible to send 3D models to customer and keeps assembly lighter. Page 8

9 Manufacturing BOM MBOM Structure can be dictated by utilization of Grouping in Assembly Model Page 9

10 Using Solid Edge to help overcome Structure can be used as learning aid. - Gas and Hydraulic flow can be mapped via tubing sequence Page 10

11 Manufacturing BOM A parts list is generated including the property defined for use as the MBOM item number. The parts list is placed outside the title block and removed prior to saving since it is not the Master MBOM. Page 11

12 Manufacturing BOM Right click to edit the table properties. The identified property used for MBOM Number is added as a column in the table (i.e. Part Number). The layout of the table can be defined to match MBOM format. Page 12

13 Manufacturing BOM The parts list is copied to EXCEL, by right click and copy on table. THe exact sequence numbers are populated. Page 13

14 Manufacturing BOM The parts list is copied to a 3 rd party data loader. Page 14

15 Manufacturing BOM The MBOM is loaded into ERP Page 15

16 Benefits from using Solid Edge to Generate MBOM for ETO Product 1. Benefit 1 Manual effort eliminated, reducing front end lead time 2. Benefit 2 Accuracy improvement from of approx 12% on First Pass MBOMs Page 16
