What is Manufacturing Process Planner?

Manufacturing Process Planner allows design and manufacturing engineers to concurrently develop product and manufacturing planning. This collaboration framework ensures that manufacturing constraints are reconciled during product design and vice versa. Using Teamcenter’s change management capabilities, manufacturers can understand and react to changes originating at any point in the design/plan/manufacture cycle.

By connecting all members of the design/build process — from design, engineering and manufacturing, to plants and suppliers — into one virtual enterprise, Manufacturing Process Planner helps manufacturers implement the best production planning strategies. Manufacturing Process Planner allows manufacturers to evaluate alternative manufacturing scenarios, maximize resource utilization, and optimize throughput at the very early stages of concept planning. It also provides a platform for developing common standards and allows them to be enforced with controlled flexibility in global manufacturing locations.
