Mass Manufacturing

To support high volumes and short lead times needed for serial production, mass production workflows must be fast and agile, and be able to run in parallel. Each step of the manufacturing process must be automatically routed. Repeatability is fundamental when it comes to mass production. All variables in the processes must be strictly defined and controlled to enable a successful production every time.

Bluestar PLM brings engineers and all other aspects of the business onboard a single shared platform – Dynamics 365 F&SCM. Here, users can extend and connect the day-to-day operations in a cloud-based digital environment, for corporate-wide and seamless collaboration across departments, sites and teams globally dispersed.

With PLM and ERP fully integrated in a single system, all users will be working with one set of product truth that is streamlined bi-directionally up and down your supply chain. You will no longer have to use several disconnected applications for managing your entire supply chain from end-to-end.

Engineering will no longer operate as a secluded island, disconnected from the rest of the organization, resulting in delays and errors due to outdated information communicated to manufacturing and operations.

The impact of engineering changes on product designs, costs and stock levels will be fully transparent, and manufacturing will always have access to the latest revisions and CAD-drawings. This vastly improves time-to-market and mitigates the risk of human error leading to mistakes in fabrication that are extremely costly to rework.

Automated best-practice workflows shorten cycle times and information routings.

Best practice workflows are reused as templates in repetitive business processes ensuring compliance with official procedures.

Trace the current status of workflows and workflow tasks providing an instant overview of the progress made for full audit trail.

Workflows are deployed in enterprise-wide context enabling the entire organization to collaborate more efficiently across departments and locations.

Bluestar PLM enables seamlessness between engineering, sales and manufacturing. Product information will immediately be shown in real time, so manufacturing, procurement, sales and operations will have the latest and accurate information to work with.

Achieve complete transparency in the cost and logistic feasibility of engineering changes and ensure that engineering documentation is always up-to-date.

Repetition of processes also means more routine in execution. Potential errors are prevented, and production goes faster.
