Project Objectives

Through the implementation of the SIPM/PLM project, the following objectives will be achieved:

• Ensure that all design data from the R&D department is managed within the system, and that the PLM system serves as the sole authorized channel for sharing and distributing R&D data.
• Establish standardized management of design data changes, requiring that every change be justified and subject to formal review and approval workflows.
• Standardize key data—including BOMs, materials, drawings, and schedules—and implement standardized templates for engineering documents and drawings.
• Implement and enforce formal review/approval and change management processes for all documents generated during the R&D process.

Establish standardized R&D project processes to enable rapid project planning across different project types and product lines.

• Purpose of templates: Enable rapid scheduling, ensure standardized project execution workflows, and provide consistent control over deliverables.
• Template content: Includes project team members, planned activities, interdependencies among tasks, and associated deliverables.
• Template flexibility: Templates are adjustable—once invoked for a specific project, they can be modified to suit the project’s unique requirements.

Template development approach: Initially create baseline templates for immediate use; subsequently refine and optimize them based on lessons learned and practical experience during project execution.

For short-cycle projects that still require a certain level of management process and deliverables, PLM provides standalone task assignment and task output delivery outside of formal project management.

Establish a data management platform for R&D products to enable modular management of product development.

Build product-level document management and product BOM (Bill of Materials) management centered on the product as the primary source.Use the BOM as the core link to establish a systematic engineering document and drawing management model, enabling organized product data management and significantly enhancing engineers’ ability to share product data.

(Product Modularization Example)

Use 3D structural design as the basis for "bare product" design, and automatically generate the bare product BOM through 3D interface-driven processes.

(2D Design-Driven BOM Generation)

Parts (materials) are classified by material category, based on design type, major material categories, and minor material subcategories for organized management.

Through this implementation, Titan has addressed the previous lack of a formal design data approval mechanism by establishing and institutionalizing a standardized review and approval process for R&D product data, thereby achieving standardized management and enhanced reliability control of product data.

By leveraging the graphical workflow functionality of the SIPM/PLM system, Titan has embedded its R&D design data review process directly into the system. This implementation enforces standardized requirements for design documentation and enables reviewers to open and examine documents and drawings directly within the graphical workflow. The system also provides clear, real-time visibility into the status and progress of the approval process. As a result, engineering drawings and technical documents are consistently controlled according to standardization requirements, ensuring the quality and reliability of Titan’s products.

(Leadership View of Workflow Instances)

Establish a standardized coding system for R&D management to provide accurate data sources for future ERP production systems.

By leveraging the coding management module of the SIPM/PLM system, Titan has institutionalized coding rules for products, materials, and technical documents, enabling engineers to easily invoke standardized codes. This significantly improves coding efficiency, enhances the standardization and consistency of enterprise-wide coding practices, and ensures alignment between PLM and ERP part numbering systems.

PLM and ERP System Integrated Application

Achieve the transfer of design data from PLM—including product BOMs and material information—to the ERP system via an interface. Both parties agree on the transfer scheme, develop and test accordingly, and ultimately complete the transmission of PLM data to ERP. The transfer of interface data is implemented through intermediate tables. The schematic diagram illustrating the data transfer process is shown below:

Summary:

Through this PLM implementation, Titan has successfully institutionalized its standardized R&D design processes. From project planning and task execution to task reminders, project status monitoring, and task tracking, the entire product development process is now effectively controlled. Stage-gate reviews ensure that tasks are completed with both quality and timeliness.Real-time monitoring of the development process, transparent visibility into deliverables, and comprehensive control over project handover completeness have all been effectively achieved.

By integrating SIPM/PLM through customized interface design, consistency between drawings and BOMs is ensured. A formalized business approval workflow for R&D design data has been established and solidified.

SIPM/PLM’s product management capabilities enable integrated management of components, drawings, and technical documents. Through robust process and change management, product data traceability has been realized. Furthermore, seamless integration between PLM and ERP systems has been achieved, enabling a cohesive link from design to production.
