ATUL PATANKAR [ ASUG INSTALLATION MEMBER MEMBER SINCE: 2000 LINDA WILSON [ ASUG INSTALLATION MEMBER MEMBER SINCE: 1999 JUERGEN LINDNER [ SAP POINT OF CONTACT MEMBER SINCE: 1998 [ ] A Business Journey to CAD Integration [ October 1, 2010 Tom Hillison, Sloan Valve Company

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ Let’s Consider for a Moment… “Somewhere out there is a competitor, unborn and unknown, that will render your strategy obsolete. You can’t dodge the bullet. You’re going to have to shoot first. You’re going to have to out- innovate the innovators.” Dr. Gary Hamel Strategy Expert 2

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ So, What Can We Do?  Ignore the issue.  Hope the competitor goes away.  Work cleaner, better and faster using a fully integrated CAD system to drive innovation and product development. 3

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ Sloan Valve Company Overview  104 Year Old Company  Privately Held, Mid-sized  Manufacturer of Specialized Plumbing Products (Flush Valves, Faucets & Fixtures)  8 Locations  3 Design Centers  2 CAD Formats  ECC 6.0, PLM 7.0, EHP 4 4

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ Sloan’s Journey Started With “The Question” “Um…we’d like to upgrade to the newest version of Pro/E.” 5

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ What Did We Learn?  Current Repository: No Integration to SAP  New Pro/E Version and Current Repository: Incompatible  New Repository: Requires Complete Re-Build  Add a PLM System: Requires Another Re- Build in 18 Months Okay…So Let’s Migrate the CAD Data to a New Repository. 6

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ “Wait A Minute...What About This Other Stuff?”  CAD and SAP Product Data in Separate Repositories?  Coordination of Engineering Changes?  Collaboration and Transparency Between Design Centers and Stakeholders?  Multi-CAD Platforms (Pro/E, SolidWorks…)?  Current Product Data Management Workarounds (BOM’s, Material Master’s…)? 7

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ The New NPDI Paradigm 8 Old  Functional Silos  Single Location  Single CAD System  Single Time Zone  Local Access  Native Files New  Cross-Functional Teams  Multiple Locations  Multiple CAD Systems  “Follow the Sun”  Global Access  Viewing Files

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ “You Can’t Get There From Here” Business Issues  No Common Language (“A Material Master?”)  Limited Transparency (“But I thought…”)  Over-reliance on (“Thread’s too long.”)  Incompatible Systems (“Need an interface?”)  No Standardized Processes (“At our location, we do it this way.”)  Internal/External Collaboration (“Run this by..”) 9

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ “You Can’t Get There From Here” Engineering Issues  Manufacturing BOM’s (“Send the spreadsheet.”)  One ‘Version of the Truth’ (“Mine’s right.”)  CAD Platform Compatibility (“Standardize?”)  Protection of Intellectual Property (“ ed it.”)  Engineering Change Requests/Orders (“When did that happen?”)  Real-time Data (“Costs were okay last week.”) 10

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ Sloan Valve’s CAD Vision 11

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ Sloan’s CAD Desktop Approach  Communicate the Vision  Learn the SAP Components: Classification System Document Management System  Document Types  Workstation Applications  Status Networks  Document Storage/Content Server  CAD Viewer 12

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ Sloan’s CAD Desktop Approach (continued)  Communicate the Vision  Build a Prototype System: 15 Days of Consulting Time 6 Weeks of Effort Buy the CAD Desktop Licenses Configure SAP Develop an Engineering Advocate Create Training Documents 13

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ Sloan’s CAD Desktop Approach (continued)  Communicate the Vision  Run Diagnosis on Drawing Repository  Repair the Drawings  Migrate the CAD Data to SAP  ‘Train the Trainable’  Roll-out to Other Locations  Implement Other CAD Platforms  And - Don’t Forget To Communicate the Vision! 14

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ Data Migration Process for Pro/Engineer 15 Data xml Meta- daten File Pro/E Objek t Pro/I location 1* Meta- daten File Pro/E Objek t Pro/I location n* Pro/E Data Import PriEX 3

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ CAD Data Migration Pilot: Steps  Configure the SAP System  Conduct Data Migration Workshop  Install and Configure Diagnosis Tools  Check the Drawings  Repair the Drawings (Data, Parameters, Structures)  Migrate Test Data into SAP to Confirm Configuration Works 16

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ CAD Data Migration: Key Learnings  Find an Efficient Way to Migrate Data From the Old to New Database  Is the Most Underestimated Part in Most PLM Projects  SAP Integration Takes 2-4 Weeks; Data Migration Takes 2-4 Months  Is Important For Setup of the CAD Integration  Build a Classification System to Help Search for Product Design Objects 17

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ CAD Data Migration: Key Learnings (continued)  For New Design Projects, ~ 60% of Existing Data is Used  The Design Process For a ‘New Database’ is Faster if the Existing Reference Data is in Place  Pay Attention to the “Search and Find” Process and Criteria; Finding Objects in a Completely New Environment is a Challenge For New Users 18

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ CAD Desktop Functions (Partial List)  Check In/Check Out Drawings  Version Control  Engineering Change Numbers  ‘Where-Used’  Update Title Blocks  Auto-Create BOM’s on Check-In 19

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ Key Learnings: “It’s More Than Software”  CAD Desktop is More Than Software: Culture Transparency Innovation  Diagnose the Condition of the CAD Repository; Issues May Take Time to Resolve  Don’t Underestimate the Amount of Change Required  It’s IMPORTANT…… 26

Real Experience. Real Advantage. [ A Final Thought…. “One Clydesdale horse can pull one ton. Two can pull 27 tons.” Two can pull 27 tons.” Dr. Michael Hammer 27
