Autodesk Fusion Lifecycle
Published on : Monday 30-11--0001
PLM 360 is now part of the Autodesk product innovation platform, Fusion, which is redefining the way products are designed, made and used. Fusion brings together a unique set of cloud-connected design, manufacturing and IoT tools.
To reflect this change, PLM 360 is being renamed to Fusion Lifecycle. Still the same great product lifecycle management solution, but now on a single technology platform.
Functionality
+ Bill of Materials Management
Your Bill of Materials is too important to leave open to errors. Autodesk® Fusion Lifecycle helps you manage, visualize, and share up-to-date BOM information across the organization in real-time.
+ Change Management
Change Request and Change Order workflows, both formal and fast-track, are provided, which can be easily configured to meet an organization’s exact process. Change workflows provide a graphical representation of those processes to anyone within the organization, promoting wide understanding of the requirements demanded by that process. The progress of specific Change Requests or Change Orders are managed in real time, providing a common view of the current status of them, helping to quickly identify and resolve potential bottlenecks.
Change Request and Change Order processes are fully integrated with the other information contained within Fusion Lifecycle. Full details of the components or sub-assemblies subject to a particular change are just a quick click away, enabling product stakeholders across the organization to fully understand what that change will affect, and what its impact will be on parent assemblies and products. Historic change records can be viewed and interrogated, providing traceability of exactly what items were modified at that time.
+ New Product Introduction (NPI)
Standard process workflows, based upon industry best practices, but fully and easily configurable, are available to assist with managing and tracking the progress of new product introductions. A graphical representation of the process, visible to anyone within the organization, promotes widespread understanding of the requirements of teams and individuals in getting a product to market. NPI progress is managed in real time, providing a common view of the current status of the development of all products, helping to quickly identify and resolve potential bottlenecks.
The progress of an NPI project, and its sub-projects and tasks, can be managed via a single, graphical chart, outlining the status of tasks completed, or still to be finished. Progress of each sub-project or task is outlined via Gantt chart format, and red, amber and green indicators give a fast, easy means of understanding the performance of the project, and gives early indication of where delays are potentially occurring. Projects are managed within a fully integrated PLM environment providing, unlike stand-alone tools or spread sheets, instant access to rich information on all aspects of the project, and integration to process workflows, with automatic updates as those processes move forward. This provides a real-time view, for all stakeholders, of NPI project progress.
+ Quality Management
Get a 360 degree view of your quality data. Autodesk® Fusion Lifecycle helps to connect your critical processes from RMA to CAPA to ECO, helping you prevent and respond rapidly to quality issues.
A series of standard integrated processes, based upon industry best-practices, but fully configurable, managing the chain of activities from return authorizations (RMA) through the raising of non-conformances, CAPA process management, change requests (ECR) and ultimately to change orders (ECO). Automatic spawning of processes, based upon the outcome of previous ones, ensures rapid, managed and accurate execution of those processes through to completed changes, helping to reduce lead times for new and modified products, and reduce the risk of costly downstream errors.
A standard Corrective and Preventative Actions process is provided, which can be easily configured to meet an organization’s exact needs. This provides a graphical representation of the CAPA processes to anyone within the organization, as well as auditors, improving general understanding of what the process entails, and providing process proof to help meet compliance requirements. The progress of specific CAPA items are managed in real time, providing a common view of the current status of them, helping to reduce process bottlenecks. Inherent full traceability of previous CAPA processes also assists in meeting compliance needs.
