CTRY/Region Announced ASEAN * Yes AUSTRALIA Yes HONG KONG Yes PRC Yes MACAO Yes TAIWAN Yes KOREA Yes JAPAN Yes NEW ZEALAND Yes * Bangladesh, Brunei, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam Description Key messages according to the five Dassault Systemes PLM Fundamentals Knowledge: V5.17 delivers item management and optimizes BOMs across disciplines, enhancing product structure control visibility and collaboration. Flexible item-centric, life-cycle management, with full support of an organization s business rules, maximizes control over product maturity, enhancing quality. V5.17 seamlessly integrates all business logic and life-cycle behaviors at the item level, allowing item management to serve as the backbone of and organization s PLM solution, for greatest return on investment. V5.17 new item life-cycle management best practices enables a product s items to be moved to any engineering state at any time, enhancing the organization s ability to react swiftly to ensure product quality and maturity, and supporting engineering configuration management and concurrent engineering scenarios. For BOM-based engineering companies, Item Management is the basic backbone for managing product maturity. ENOVIA SmarTeam gives full control over an item s engineering state, applying go/no-go rules and enabling the non-sequential promoting/demoting of an items routing. It integrates, configures and embeds all of an item s business logic, and propagates it across the life cycle. Seamless design-to-configure BOM generation and compare, promotes best-practice engineering processes, saving time and reducing errors. The new BOM best practice seamlessly creates and updates the engineering BOMs (E-BOMs) during design, including those from ENOVIA SmarTeam s multi-cad solutions. Accelerated access to the E-BOM enhances bidding, cost evaluation, and other business functions through to production. Enhanced platform robustness, delivering multiple views, enriched copying and editing, and greater usability, promotes BOM collaboration across disciplines. Multiple views management provides an out-of-the-box environment for managing cross-structural data flow throughout the product life cycle. Generic structure copy, and BOM compare, promote the reuse and management of complex product structures, with configuration management rules applied. The embedded, intuitive BOM editor enhances work with full capabilities, including in-cell and multi-selection editing, highlighting and history tracking. Advanced structure filtering according to life-cycle revision rules optimizes visibility into the product structure. V5.17 adds value to engineering configuration management with a new layer of filtering on top of date and unit effectivity filtering. Users can monitor, filter and view the product structure in expanded depth, across life cycle states and maturity phases (for example Latest Revision, Active, Production), for enhanced knowledge sharing and collaboration.
