New Product Development Challenges
Common Issues In New Product Development– Design Issue capture mostly done with Excel spreadsheets– Issue closure difficult to track at all project levels (many ad hoc)– No consistent process for design issue identification in WIP– Design project management varies by business group & size– Lotus Notes databases most often utilized tool for design task
tracking (EWR/PRIME/HSR/SPS)– Lack of consistent approach with PLC phase task deliverables– Few people proficient in use of all the new tools TcE/TcVis/NX– E-mail most often used tool to notify team members of project
issues or changes– Supplier collaboration is needed earlier in design process– Cross-Functional team members aren’t involved early enough to
identify design changes needed

Utilize Teamcenter Community in Design ReviewsConduct DMU activities on WIP design data in TcEngineering
regardless of geographic location (PLC deliverables in Phase 4)Capture design issues and disposition them before design freeze and
procurement of physical materialsProvide extended design team with non-CAD tools to enable design
reviews using most current TcEngineering data
Utilize Teamcenter Community in global design environmentEngage a product development team during PLC Phase 4 to conduct
DMU tasks using TcCommunity, TcEngineering & TcVisualization toolsHave the team execute the Visualization process workflow and it’s
discrete tasks utilizing the capabilities of TcC, TcE & TcVisEvaluate TcCommunity performance when combined with TcE & TcVis
against existing processes with only TcE and TcVis tools.
