4Program Overview
- DLA's overall transformation strategy requires
all DLA business operations to upgrade their IT
capabilities, including Technical and Quality
functions - BSM Release 2.0 functional blueprinting
identified the need for technical document
management and workflow management - As a result, DLA has begun an Agency-wide Product
Data Management Initiative (PDMI) whose
objectives are to - Increase the accuracy and accessibility of
product data needed to make informed engineering
and procurement actions - Provide a single enterprise application that
supports one location and access of product data
for authorized users - Link to the SAP application being developed and
implemented where required to support ongoing
business processes - PDMI Program Office Established in Oct 2004
5Program Definition
The PDMI is the DLAs strategy for transforming
the Agencys Technical and Quality business

11PLM Scope
- PLM makes all product and project specific
information available throughout the organization
and also with customers and partners across
enterprise boundaries.
12PLM Evolution
- Two clear trends have emerged in PLM Inclusion
and Collaboration.
- Solution for the engineering function
- Store and manage engineering drawings and related
CAD files.
- Additional capabilities such as change orders,
configuration management and visualization - Information silos
- Sequential information flow
- Lack of tracking
Convert sequential processes into collaborative
networks with all partners involved component
suppliers, contract manufacturers, customers,
third party design partners.

17Introduction to SAP PLM
- The SAP PLM solution supports all the processes
related to customer requirements, product
specification, product engineering and project
management.
18Lifecycle Data Management provides integrated
engineering capabilities for managing
requirements, bills of materials, routing and
resource data, recipes, CAD models, and related
technical documents.
Lifecycle Data Management

- Fully supported out-of-the-box integration to
different computer aided design (CAD) systems - Change and Configuration Management
- Manage the conceptual and early design phase with
product designer capability to maintain maximum
flexibility for adding and deleting documents,
drawings and materials

26PDMI Process Model
During blueprinting we defined 4 overall process
areas and associated processes that define PDMI.
7 of those processes are in scope for Increment 1
Item Introduction
Item Definition
End of Life
Doc Develop
Doc Control
Data Dissemination
Analysis Prioritize
EOL Analysis
Collab
Disposition
Item Screening
Create Item Store Docs
Item Master Data Mgmt
Component Management (out of scope for Increment

27Process Improvements
- During blueprinting, we identified process
improvements throughout the 7 in-scope processes.
Major changes fall into three categories - Item Introduction Create Items and Store
Documents - Document Management
- Document Control
- Document Development
- Dissemination
- Disposition
- Solicitation Support
- Analysis and Prioritization
- Item Master Data Management
- Dissemination
28Process ImprovementsItem Introduction
- DLIS catalogers have access to technical data to
fully describe new items - All LR technical data passes through DLIS,
complementing the BSM R2.2 LR solution - DLIS catalogers scan and store documentation
during cataloging - DLIS catalogers and DLA product specialists can
collaborate using SAP cFolders - Technical data established in SAP DMS at time of
item creation (LR or SSR)
29Process ImprovementsDocument Management
- Consolidated processes for managing all document
types (drawings, specifications, etc.) - Proactively acquire correct versions and
revisions of technical data - Up-front creation of document structures to
streamline dissemination - Reuse of document structures across multiple NSNs
30Process ImprovementsSolicitation Support
- Technical reviews based on planned buys, reducing
TQ contribution to ALT - Single, enterprise-wide solution for document
distribution - Integration of engineering support requests into
primary product specialist application (SAP) - Multiple NSNs on single engineering support
request, when applicable

32Collaboration Leading Practices
- Work with supply chain partners to proactively
identify end-of-life parts and execute EOL plan - Work with suppliers on quality issues
- Share supplier technical performance statistics
with the purchasing organization and the supplier - Deploy cross-functional teams to work with
suppliers who are having quality issues - Maintain a single master
- Avoid translations, copies, and redundant storage
of data - Use views and access privileges instead of
different versions - Applies to BOMs, engineering models,
documentation, and material records - Deploy collaborative capabilities people will
use them - Integrations to third part viewers allow
non-engineers to view CAD files - Workflows, redlines, and projects create non-real
time collaborative capability - Virtual meetings with real-time internet redlines
33Collaboration Leading Practices
- Eliminate latency in change order execution
- Get a heads-up to pending changes before they
are released - If possible, become a member of the design
authoritys change control board - Automate the extraction, translation, and import
of change data - Understand and communicate the cost impact of
design decisions - Inventory obsolescence, increased lead times and
component costs should be traced back to the
change responsible - Optimize the number of touches and manual steps
in loading engineering content - Generally, fewer touches is better (results in
cleaner data), but... - Validate key data prior to finalizing in the PDM
system - Provide feedback
- Suggest changes which save money or improve
quality - Inform the design authority of the operational
impact of their proposed changes
