Windchill MPMLink

The industry’s first integral solution for Manufacturing Process Management

Everyday, manufacturing engineers are faced with the challenge of ensuring that their process plans, manufacturing bill of materials (mBOMs), & work instructions accurately reflect the current engineering design. It’s typically not until the design is completed that design engineering involves manufacturing engineering to define “how” a product is to be made in a specific factory. But if manufacturing process management (MPM) could be done in synch with engineering, operating on the same design data, it could have a significant positive impact on reducing product cost, improving the accuracy of manufacturing deliverables, and shortening development cycle time.

Windchill MPMLink is the answer – an integral PLM application designed for manufacturing engineers. It gives them the tools they regularly need to digitally design and manage all of their process plan deliverables concurrently with design.

Benefits

• Reduce time-to-market by enabling concurrent product and manufacturing process definition
• Enhance efficiency of manufacturing engineers by allowing them to digitally author and manage manufacturing process plans and the associated resources
• Lower the cost of changes by streamlining change impact identification and propagation as well as reducing the number of expensive late-stage changes
• Improve production ramp-up and productivity by using this MPM software to efficiently optimize manufacturing processes and dynamically generate 2D and 3D work instructions
• Improve product quality by reducing scrap and rework
• Lower Total Cost of Ownership by eliminating multiple legacy and MS Office-based solutions
