| Stages |
Technical & Process Checkpoints |
Work Products/Outputs |
| Stage One |
Evaluation your company’s current Operational Model:
- Product Breadth/Classes
- Manufacturing Sites: Locations, Vertical Integration vs. Outsource, Diversity and/or commonality of Mfg. Systems, Diversity and/or commonality of Mfg. Equipment
- Engineering Centers: Current Model-based Maturity, Diversity & Application of Eng. Stds. e.g., QIF, ASME Y14, MIL Stds
- Diversity and/or commonality of Engineering Practices & Systems e.g., CAD/CAD Data Mgt., Simulation & Analysis,Core Product Data Management, etc.
|
- Mfg. Site Map
- Mfg. Diversity Matrix
- Supplier Capability Survey
- Engineering Site Map
- Engineering Diversity Matrix
|
| Stage Two |
Review Modeling & Drawing Practices to assure optimal Model exploitation and a High First Pass Yield through the Model-based Enterprise:
- Ensure enterprise consistency for model content and attributes
- Review dimensioning and geometric tolerancing usage and abilities
- Evaluate drafting features and symbology and effected downstream organizations
|
- Define Model based Definition standards and best practices
- Define modeling and annotation standards
- Streamline consistency and implications of MBD symbology
|
| Stage Three |
Understand pros and cons of options to enable selection of the ideal methodologies for MBD
- Review product development process
- Evaluate core user MBD readiness
- Explore requirements for MBD annotations
- Review options for technical data delivery
|
- Define MBD organization and layout
- Train design engineers in MBD annotation
- Create MBD start part
- Define technical data package constructs
- Refine MBD standards
|
| Stage Four |
Legacy Model Transformation to Model-based (Tools and processes for simple reuse and update or previously defined models with drawings)
- Critical Checkpoint
- Asses model quality and
- Review options for retrofitting legacy models
- Evaluate model printing delivery needs
|
- Define legacy CAD update configuration
- Define update process, tools
- Define drawing synchronization
- Define MBD printing delivery formats
|
| Stage Five |
Establish Plan for CAD Data & Model Validation, & Publication
- Review internal mfg data requirements, organization, and handoffs
- Asses suppliers needs and content for technical data packages TDPs
- Evaluate options for secondary content and derivatives models to be used downstream
- Review requirements for derivative model validation
|
- Organize manufacturing data
- Define requirements for ext. supplier TDP
- Define derivative model validation characteristics and process
|
| Stage Six |
Establish Plan for development & institutionalization of MBD Standards through Proof of Concept
- What are Goals & Objectives for Proof of Concept(s)
- What is Internal Process Scope e.g., CAD Data Validation, Mfg. Work Instructions, CMM, CNC, FAI, Tooling, etc.
- What is External Process Scope e.g., CAD Data Validation, Mfg. Work Instructions, CMM, CNC, FAI, Tooling, etc.
- What Product Families will best enable Proof of Concept Goals & Objectives – what Data definitions/TDP’s are required
- What internal sites are candidate for PoC
- What external suppliers are candidate for PoC
|
- Proof of Concept (PoC) Objectives
- Targeted Sites, Supply Chain processes Target Part Families
- Targeted Suppliers
- Technical Plan (Strategy, Tools, Methods for Pilot Execution)
- Resource Plan (Budget, Staffs, Facilities, Governance)
- Validation Plan
- Risk Assessment & Mitigation Plan
