Process Designer enables you to plan your assembly processes in a 3D collaborative environment. You can develop and validate your manufacturing strategies within a 3D virtual environment, regardless of your product lifecycle management (PLM) platform.

Process Designer bridges the gap between product and process design to enable manufacturers to start process engineering efforts sooner to meet market commitments, as well as to provide design feedback about product manufacturability – with the end-result of higher-quality products. You can also generate 2D/3D work instructions to clearly communicate assembly steps to the shop floor. You also have advanced time management features that can help you analyze value added and non-value added activities and support your lean initiatives.

You can be confident that your designed parts and assemblies are properly consumed by your manufacturing processes. This provides a seamless alignment between your engineering bill of materials (BOM), manufacturing BOM and the manufacturing bill of process (BOP). Manufacturing Process Planner enables you to manage your manufacturing data, process, resource, and plant information in an integrated product and production lifecycle environment. By connecting the design/build process, MPP allows manufacturers to evaluate alternative manufacturing scenarios, maximize resource utilization and optimize throughput at the very early stages of concept planning.

This ensures that manufacturing constraints are reconciled during product design. The Tecnomatix Manufacturing Process Planner (MPP) application is powered by Teamcenter and allows design and manufacturing engineers to concurrently develop product and manufacturing process definitions.
