PI Keynote: 'Pixar - A Design Story'
Room 1
Session details
Having evolved from Artist to Art Director to Production Designer in his 12 years of employment at PIXAR Animation Studios, Jay Shuster is still learning how to make computer-generated animated films. The reality is these movies are beasts and any attempt to identify an exact science or method in their making is futile. In this presentation Shuster strives to convey the creative processes that occur in pursuit of the Animation Industry's highest standards, born out of Pixar's own neurosis of perfection. Case studies such as Wall-e (2008) yield a wealth of universal and creative lessons and anecdotes throughout the course of its 5 year production cycle. Shuster mines imagery and humor from behind the scenes at Pixar and the almost 20 years of his experience in an industry that refuses to sit still. |

Supporting a Robust Product Cost Engineering Process with Integrated PLM and ERP Systems
Room 3
Session details
Imagine how much easier it would be to invest in new product development programs, regardless of the economic climate, if product teams could reliably deliver new products within 1-2 percent of their target cost. To achieve consistent results, the first step is to strengthen assumptions behind cost targets early in a project. The second step is to provide project teams with timely, accurate feedback. In this presentation, John will demonstrate a system architecture which integrates product development processes with PLM, ERP, and cost engineering tools to support target setting and cost management processes. How this architecture supports program timing and product quality processes will also be apparent. |

Software Deployment in Effectively Managing the Needs of Physical-Soft Hybrid Products
Room 3
Session details
The last decade has seen immense change, challenges and opportunities for organizations in how we author and manage product related information. Relatively narrow and focused platforms, such as CAD, CAM and PDM, have primarily captured the attention of manufacturing companies and their engineering, operations and IT departments. Although narrow, the investments were significant, in terms of hardware, software, implementation and training, but the benefits were arguably limited. These capabilities have been overshadowed by much broader categories like PLM, ALM, SLM and Product Performance Analysis (PPA) that have gained wider interest and acceptance from departments within organizations such as sales, marketing, supply chain, service and compliance. In parallel to this, significant change has been taking place in the very “bones” that these key technology platforms rely on to run and communicate in the form of ultra-high speed networks, servers as well as paradigm shifts the cloud has promoted.
|
Focus Group - Managing Platform Obsolescence
Room 4
Session details
Systems obsolescence is a reality for every company and a timely, costly and often complex one at that. Once the software is superseded by newer and better iterations, it needs to be pulled and retired and whilst this is difficult in itself, so is the estimation of when its operational lifecycle will come to an end. This session will look at the management of system version/plug-in retire and the factors that it examines to formulate an accurate timeline. |

Simplifying PLM in Tackling Product Complexity
Room 1
Session details
Composed of over 100 million components, costing over $5 billion and involving 111 nations in the design, manufacturing and maintenance phases, the Large Hadron Collider is the largest and most complex machine in the world. However, just because the product is complex, why must its PLM be so as well? CERN is the world’s largest research center for particle physics and faces the challenge of providing PLM tools which can be quickly assimilated and easy to employ by users of varied backgrounds; physicists, engineers, technicians, administrators all from distributed locations around the world. Simplification has therefore been key since the start of the PLM project in 1997. Simple and intuitive user interfaces requiring little or no training for users to be operational have been provided on top of CERN’s PLM platform which consists of several commercial systems. This presentation will show what was implemented and how efficient PLM can lead to Nobel Prizes.

Driving PLM Capability Across a Complex Enterprise
Room 2
Session details
Johnson and Johnson is a microcosm of many leading industry arenas – discrete / part manufacture, process / formula / recipe manufacture, medical device, pharmaceutical, biologic, CPG, capital equipment, hi-tech, service, food, cosmetic - to name but a few and we need to deliver gold standard comprehensive PLM capability across that complex set of businesses within a single global enterprise. Like the rest of industry, we can no longer afford either the time, resource or investment traditionally required to deploy such capabilities and so need to take an innovative and disruptional approach to ensure we get ahead of the problem statement and decrease our time to value.
|
Incorporating Systems Thinking and Agile Development Methodologies into an ALM Model
Room 3
Session details
Pre 2007, software development at Hologic was governed as a part number within their existing PLM architecture. However, as application development became increasingly more complex, it became apparent that a clear management strategy was essential. ALM, PLM's little brother, was the obvious choice and, combined with agile thinking, has allowed for a level of discipline that ensures hardware and software release cycles are aligned.
|
Focus Group - Business Acquisition and the Related Complex Data Migration and Systems Integrations
Room 5
Session details
Times are tough and the industry is still seeing many strong companies merging and acquiring others to create a more competitive, cost-efficient organization. But most of the challenges only begin once the dotted line has been signed and the M&A is made official. Each company has its own product data architecture and more often than not, these are different, be it due to the platform being used, the way it is used or who it is using it. This session will look into best practices and challenges surrounding company merger with regards to complex data migration, systems interoperability and formulating a strategy that suits the company best, through a centralized or decentralized approach. The session draws upon the experience of two such mergers: Gen-Probe by Hologic and Life Technologies Corp by Thermo Fisher Scientific, who took centralized and decentralized approaches respectively. The session will discuss the steps that followed to ensure the most efficient and effective migration of product information between two distinct architectures. |

Deploying PLM as a Strategic Initiative at Harley-Davidson
Room 1
Session details
Harley-Davidson shipped over 260,000 motorcycles worldwide in 2013 and generated $4B in revenue. Their portfolio is complex and is managed by 3 divisions: General Merchandise, Motorcycles and Parts, Accessories & Customization. This product complexity justified the introduction of PLM as a strategic initiative to replace legacy development processes that no longer supported the company's new ways of differentiating themselves. Melvina shares their 3-year PLM story from the why's and the what's to the how's and shows how now, the business planning and enterprise wide systems rely solely on this infrastructure.
|
Integrating Systems Engineering & PLM
Room 2
Session details
Today, in the engineering space, systems engineering and PLM are, for the most part, tackled as two separate disciplines. Whilst systems engineering is used in the early phases to simulate the concept, PLM then comes into play in the more detailed elements of design. At Airbus, Anders Romare, VP, Engineering, feels this is an inefficient and siloed way of working. With both principles working to optimize the overall design of the product/service, Anders will walk us through what they are doing to integrate the two and how this has impacted the overall lifecycle. |
Bridging the Gap Between Product & Service
Room 3
Session details
In an effort to enhance consumer engagement and profit margins, many companies now have a more end-to-end model of product offering that includes the product, and the servicing of said product. PLM is traditionally used to manage product specifications, whilst SLM manages product performance. No one platform can yet manage this whole process and so facilitating the integration of the two is paramount in maintaining this true cradle-to-grave strategy.

Focus Group - Calculating a Tangible ROI of Your Technology Platform
Room 4
Session details
Can PLM provide a return on investment for your company? PLM has been around for decades, and was traditionally associated with large enterprises in the automotive and aerospace industries. These costly and time-consuming enterprise deployments have left the ROI of PLM somewhat questionable. But the times have changed, and so has the technology of PLM. Now companies can experience the benefits of PLM regardless of their size or industry. This session will look into the ROI of PLM, including the costs and benefits of implementing throughout an organization from engineering to manufacturing and beyond, as well as the availability of technologies both on-premise and in the cloud. The session draws upon the expertise and experience of Richard Noriega of VACCO and will discuss the most effective and efficient ways to deliver real ROI from a PLM solution. |

Using PLM Automation to Ensure Certified Design Integrity in Highly Compliance Driven Industries
Room 1
Session details
To assure customer satisfaction, aerospace industry organizations must produce and continually improve safe, reliable products that meet or exceed customer and regulatory authority requirements. The globalization of the aerospace industry and the resulting diversity of regional/national requirements and expectations has complicated this objective. End-product organizations face the challenge of assuring the quality and integration of product purchased from suppliers throughout the world and at all levels within the supply chain. Aerospace suppliers and processors face the challenge of delivering product to multiple customers having varying quality expectations and requirements. This becomes especially challenging when a product undergoes change where the organization having design authority (type certificate owner) is different than that of the supplier providing design activity. A concurrent approval from the design authority may need to be considered while the supplier design activity is performed in parallel in order to meet the demanding on-time delivery requirements typical to the Aerospace industry. The change being implemented has to be validated in such a way that it still preserves the integrity of the original certified design. The PLM system can be effectively utilized in the implementation of such a change classification, approval, and notification process with shared roles and responsibilities that cross the boundaries of the design authority and design activity organizations. Chandru Narayan, the Director of Engineering Tools, Processes and Configuration Management at Crane Aerospace will present concepts share ideas for implementation of such a process in the Teamcenter Enterprise PLM system. |
How Companies are Unleashing Innovation and Profit Potential Across the Product Value Chain
Room 2
Session details
Thermo Fisher Scientific is a world leader in serving science. Earlier this year, they acquired Life Technologies and added the leading brand of high-quality, innovative medical lab technologies to its portfolio. Before implementing Oracle’s Agile PLM solutions, Life Technologies leaned to store product data and support its global product development on many applications which led to incongruent business processes, collaboration challenges and an inefficient development environment. Like many life sciences companies, Life Technologies began realizing the benefits of establishing one central source of truth and has been working with Oracle to make this a reality. John Moran, Director of Product Data Management, will share this PLM story.

Facilitating the Delivery of Sophisticated & Connected Products through Continuous Engineering
Room 3
Session details
The product development model has evolved; users are demanding more specialized and tailored products and the use of connected technologies, and their related security/compliance challenges is exponentially increasing. In order for manufacturers to remain competitive and relevant, their product development processes and technologies need to evolve to match. IBM have developed a concept of Continuous Engineering that speeds delivery of smarter products by helping companies evolve engineering practices to adapt to the accelerating pace of business change.

Exploring Complexity: Convergence of Enterprise Product Development Processes
Room 2
Session details
Throughout the more technologically-complex product industries, software is rapidly surpassing hardware's dominance and importance. For decades, manufacturers have evolved PLM practices and software to govern all aspects of product lifecycle, but these methods and tools are challenged by the misalignment and complexity of disparate and uncoordinated mechanical, electrical and software engineering disciplines. Moreover, the current application lifecycle management (ALM) environment in most organizations is highly fragmented and struggles to scale to support the increased complexity of modern systems and products. This session will use the findings of a market research data from the automotive industry to discuss the rationale, challenges and benefits in realizing a unified product development framework, and propose a maturity model to assist manufacturing organizations in assessing their current capabilities and create a roadmap to stay ahead of the complexity curve. Key topics discussed:

Integrating your Design Supplier Network into a 3D CAD Model World
Room 3
Session details
Gulfstream Aerospace manufactures their new aircraft in a paperless manner, by generating electronic Model Based Design for consumption throughout the enterprise. The benefits realized have exceeded expectations . The role andresponsibility of the supplier has changed immensely with the advent of this electronic process, and the demands and levels of integration between you an your supplier becomes complex. Charlie Salzman and Greg Weaver will discuss their unique story in dealing with this.
|
Focus Group - Configuration Lifecycle Management
Room 4
Session details
JLR see configuration management as a very important factor in realizing mass customization. The issue is that because many enterprise-wide applications feature configuration functionality you end up unnecessarily duplicating configuration activity and data therefore leveraging this in a dynamic market becomes complex. Consumer buying patterns and practices have changed and in many industry sectors, mass production is being abandoned and replaced by customization. This interactive process might seem simple from the consumer's perspective, but to work, is supported by a complex system of product model authoring, rules and requirements to effectively generate a new BOM, configure the order and/or create a visual representation there and then. So how do you manage configuration lifecycle as a centralized approach, thus meeting the demands of the consumer in real-time? |

Think Tank - Enabling Product Lifecycle Analytics for Competitive Advantage
Session details
Organizations today are under relentless pressures to deliver innovative products to the marketplace, improve quality, reduce costs, expand their global footprint and reach new markets. In a competitive environment visibility into the product development process, global sourcing, real-time information sharing, collaboration between teams involved in product design, development and manufacturing and timely analysis of the data from all of the above sources will ensure a competitive edge. To quote author Tom Davenport “Competing on Analytics: The New Science of Winning,” “It’s virtually impossible to differentiate yourself from competitors based on products alone. Your rivals sell offerings similar to yours. And thanks to cheap offshore labor, you’re hard-pressed to beat overseas competitors on product cost. How to pull ahead of the pack? Become an analytics competitor: Use sophisticated data-collection technology and analysis to wring every last drop of value from all your business processes.” The effectiveness of analytics has already been proven with ERP, CRM, and SCM data; can analytics prove to be a strategic weapon for competitive advantage in the PLM market place? PLM has certain important differences when compared to other enterprise applications. Developing effective analytics in PLM requires knowledge of the engineering and product development domains and the software applications being mined. Most analytics tools do not meet the requirements and thus may not be effective in tapping into PLM data. The empowerment of analytics can make this happen. It is becoming an integrated part of PLM. To Quote CIMData “PLM embraces and enables a myriad of processes and information sources scattered throughout the enterprise and the product’s life. This alone is enough to justify bringing Business analytics into PLM strategies and environments” Accessing the data currently buried in PLM systems can help identify exceptions, manage and improve processes, and identify strategic trends that may uncover significant insight and value. Manufacturers tapping into this knowledge can achieve value by improving individual efficiencies and enterprise performance. Some of the issues we seek to discuss:

This think tank will explore the requirements for, and consumption of, product configuration assets throughout the organisation, covering topics such as:
This will be an open discussion; participants and input are welcome from all industries. |
Think Tank - The Strategic Role of Legacy Data Migrations in PLM Implementations
Session details
Legacy data migration projects are often over budget, off schedule, and result in poor data that cannot be reused or shared between teams and PLM applications. To ensure that your PLM implementation initiatives receive both attention and resources for legacy data migrations, this session will focus on key success factors of on-time, on-budget implementations, the pitfalls and constraints of unsuccessful approaches, the role of the data migration architect, and risk mitigation strategies. |

Taking a Pragmatic View of Lean Innovation
Room 2
Session details
In early 2014, the international energy management company, Schneider Electric, acquired the automation firm Invensys. Schneider Electric, like many large corporations, has been struggling to achieve high growth through its innovation and optimizing its return on investment in R&D. Conversely, the Software Business within Invensys and with brands of Wonderware, SimSci and Avantis, has achieved double-digit growth for the past three years that is attributed to, among other factors, the transformation of R&D to be keenly focused on customer needs and delivering innovative resolutions to these customer needs in incremental short cycles. Andrew McCloskey, Head of Product Development for Schneider Electric’s Software Business, joins PI San Diego to discuss the lean innovation model deployed, and how this ultimately results in a greater ROI from R&D.

Making Enterprise-Wide PLM Work Productively in a Culturally Decentralized Organization
Room 1
Session details
When McDonalds' first basic PLM system was installed in 2005, it was done so in a muddled way. McDonalds is a decentralized organization; unlike other global brands they do not work in a tops-down manner but prefer most of the decision-making to be as close to the market as possible. This presentation explores the pitfalls of an enterprise-wide solution being implemented into a company that hates enterprise-wide systems and how Kalypso worked with McDonalds to facilitate the re-birth of their PLM.

PLM360 - Fast. Affordable. Efficient
Room 2
Session details
Rick Noriega was originally hired at VACCO as a Design Engineer tasked, in part, with helping to change existing processes. There were clear problems with data integrity and subsequent internal disconnects and after having evaluated how systems were running, he decided that things needed to be made more electronic through PLM. At this point Rick turned to Autodesk's PLM360 in an effort to avoid complicated configurations and deployments without having to invest millions.
This session includes a live demo of the PLM360 platform.

Focus Group - Information Integration across Product, Application & Service
Room 4
Session details
Product manufacturing companies, and the products they manufacture, are changing. As products get smarter and their embedded software platforms more advanced, a PLM system becomes insufficient in managing the added complexity. Add to that the fact that many are looking to more of a services model for added revenue and that this aspect of the business is in itself managed by yet another set of platforms, means that you are now dealing with one lifecycle managed, for different components and at different stages, by a variety of different systems and teams. The data being gathered and managed needs to remain high quality to be of any use so how do we bring these separate worlds together and ensure efficient information integration? |

Focus Group - Utilizing PLM to Optimize Forecasting & thus Better Manage Supplier/Downstream Plant Operations
Room 5
Session details
Currently at Chrysler Group of FCA, there are 12 plants in operation at any one time, each serviced and supplied by an extensive supplier network. The Supply Chain organization is challenged with developing long term and short term forecasts, current production plan options, and implementing the selected production plan for these 12 plants. The forecasts and plans are developed in functional silos, each with its own unique reporting system, which have led to gaps and miscommunication during the transition point between processes and systems. Now, they are working to apply PLM in this non-traditional aspect of the lifecycle to improve overall effectiveness in the planning, decisions and implementation processes. By combining the PLM maturity model with fiscal forecasting, the hope is that the program will measure how well they forecast and how best to optimize enterprise decision processes. In this way, the key KPIs can be identified to ensure good and accurate planning so that suppliers and downstream plants can reduce timelines and costs. This focus group will discuss the use of PLM in this business area and as a result, how you can better analyze the complete lifecycle from data and metrics through to innovation. |
