 Some Questions!!
 What are the basic problems that an engineer
could face when trying to access information?
 What is the need to maintain documents in
the form of drawings/ text, etc?
 What is the need for version controlling?
 What should be version controlled?
What should be done when there is an
Engineering Change Order - should the
resulting changes be captured?
 Some more Questions!!
 What should we do with the old designs,
when the new design emerges?
 How do we co-relate the various teams
like the Design team, the Production Team,
the Manufacturing Team?
 How do we manage the various life
stages of the product?
 Does all these mean that companies
should shed their legacy systems and adopt
PDM?
 PDM

When there is a Product, there is Data about

the product. This data has to be Managed
 PDM - Where did it
originate?
 Started with the Manufacturing Industry

 The need for a PDM was felt because

engineers often had problems accessing the
information they needed.
 How does it work??

PDM aims at maximizing the time-to-

market benefits of concurrent engineering
while maintaining control of data and
distributing it automatically to the people
who need it - when they need it.
Master data is held only once in a secure
'vault' where its integrity can be assured and
all changes to it are monitored, controlled
and recorded.
 How does it work - contd...
Duplicate reference copies of the master data, on the
other hand, can be distributed freely, to users in
various departments for design, analysis and
approval.
When a 'change' is made to data, what actually
happens is that a modified copy of the data, signed
and dated, is stored in the vault alongside the old data
which remains in its original form as permanent
record
