Principles of synchronization » Separate systems joined in point-to-point transfer + Low initial cost for integration + Best of breed system selection − Impossible configuration management, tracing, etc − No information control and assurance » Single system environment + Configuration management, tracing, etc − High initial cost − No room for best of breed − Impossible to impose in collaboration, e.g. back to #1 » Separate systems joined via information hub + Configuration management, tracing, etc + Low initial cost + Information control and assurance also across the EE + Best of breed system selection C O P Y R I G H T E U R O S T E P G R O U P

Challenge » Volvo often had outdated and non-consolidated product data, leading to inefficient information management − Difficult and time consuming to get the right data − High percentage of the spare parts where erroneously returned – internally called ”Parts tourism” − High risk of design errors due to outdated third party information − Time consuming to produce a correct parts catalogue C O P Y R I G H T E U R O S T E P G R O U P

Summary » Collaborations have their own master data » Controlled consolidation is vital to maintain consistency » The standards (AP214 & PLCS) provide a rich data model − no need to configure the content model − But it will expose data quality issues » Collaboration should not replace existing tools » Web services provide the ideal way to enable interaction − And business intelligent applications » PLM needs data orchestration to make SOA practical ”There is no doubt that Share -A-space holds the keys to a number of different and difficult extended enterprise information integration, consolidation and exchange issues.” – CIMdata 2007 C O P Y R I G H T E U R O S T E P G R O U P

What is collaboration? Getting everyone to work Allowing partners to do in the same process? what they do best? » Agreed by all? » Consistent data across » Across tools and diverse tools and organizations organizations? C O P Y R I G H T E U R O S T E P G R O U P
