Teamcenter Cost Management

Overview:
Teamcenter solutions for product cost management provide you with a unique opportunity to create a unified product lifecycle costing strategy. Teamcenter not only touches all areas of the product lifecycle, but it can also offer product cost analysis and estimation at a much deeper level where the product “DNA” is captured and re-used as a corporate asset for competitive advantage. You can close the loop for continuous improvement, value engineering and the best practice of rolling NPI forecasts with improved product cost management.

Benefits:
• Gain greater return on your PLM system with integrated cost engineering tools
• Ensure product profitability and positive ROI
• Optimize cost of in-house manufactured and purchased parts (value engineering)
• Reliably calculate quotes with a high confidence on margins
• Optimize purchase prices through knowledge-based cost structure analysis
• Intelligently guide cost discussions with customers and suppliers

Sustainability Management and Environmental Compliance:

Overview:
Teamcenter manages material and substance information to provide trace ability and aggregation of materials and substances across a product bill of materials (BOM), allowing you to control the material makeup of your products to limit the use of hazardous substances. You can also determine the effect of a substance regulation on a product early in the lifecycle, and understand its impact on your bottom line. Teamcenter reduces the costs associated with collecting and managing the vast amount of environmental data required to establish and document the compliance of complex products, down to the substance level. You can use Teamcenter as the single source of approved materials for your company, so you can leverage the materials throughout the Teamcenter portfolio of PLM applications.

Benefits:
• Intelligently integrate material and substance information to create a single source of accurate and compliant data that can be used across Siemens PLM Software solutions
• Minimize risk of significant fines, restricted market access and damage to brands by identifying, tracking and reporting substances of concern that are used in a product
• Reduce errors and rework costs by automating the exchange of material and substance declarations with suppliers

Systems Engineering

Overview:
Teamcenter systems engineering software provides a unique, model-driven environment that you can use to apply systems engineering concepts to product development. An integrated, cross-domain solution, Teamcenter links systems modeling, system architecture, system simulation and requirements management with the rest of your company’s product and process knowledge, enabling you to understand your products as cross-domain systems.

Benefits:
• Optimize the trade-offs that must be made throughout a decision-intensive product lifecycle
• Understand your products as cross-domain systems
• Enable communization and re-use
• Improve productivity and quality
• Ensure regulatory and contractual compliance
• Avoid expensive problems late in the lifecycle
• Utilize existing software investments and expertise
• Minimize risk
