Level 3
Level 3 increases the impact made in the first two levels. Everything
done up to this point will be used to further integrate Engineering
with the other departments. Advanced tools will be integrated. Cross-departmental
processes will be analyzed, defined, documented and implemented.
Things we look at:
Project Execution and Evaluation Tools
Cost Estimating and Analysis Software
Enterprise Wide Collaboration
Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM) to Manufacturing Bill of Material
(MBOM) Conversion
Engineering Change Order (ECO) Automation
Engineering Analysis Tools
Impact
 |
The entire engineering department will be more
productive |
|
Design cycles will be decreased even more |
|
Cost targets will be met for both products and
projects |
|
Product definitions and requirements will be
more easily met, and late changes will be more easily integrated
(as well as analyzed for impact prior to decision making) |
|
Quality and productivity will increase |
|
Warranty claims and Engineering Change Notices
(ECN’s) will decrease |
|
Other departments and external partners will
benefit from a tighter integration to engineering |
|
Expected time to payback is less than
one year |
