What is Process Planning for BTO/BTS/CTO?

Manufacturing engineers use Process Planning for BTO/BTS/CTO to perform assembly planning tasks, from high level to detailed planning. It is designed for build-to-order (BTO), build-to-stock (BTS), and configure-to-order (CTO) domains, such as automotive and white goods (large home appliances) industries, as well as other industries.

Electronics engineers use Process Planning for BTO/BTS/CTO for the systems integration of the electronics process planning tasks of Teamcenter Easy Plan and those of Valor Process Preparation Software. The systems integration is available as a dedicated, optional feature of Process Planning for BTO/BTS/CTO.

Use Process Planning for BTO/BTS/CTO to:

• Author the bill of equipment (BOE).

• Create the process plan based on the plant structure, and define the material flow.

• Author operations and assign parts and tools to the operations.

• Author detailed time analysis.

• Perform line balancing in the plant BOP.

• Create alternative process plans.

Although not a mandatory part of the solution, there is an optional capability for central assembly planning based on the enterprise BOP, including the creation of product BOP, allocating operations to the plant BOP, and authoring additional plant-specific content.
