Teamcenter overview - Siemens PLM Software - #10

You can useTeamcenter to define detailed customer and market requirements from a whole product perspective and then communicate these requirements to the functional teams that bring your products to market.Teamcenter provides the following systems engineering and requirements management capabilities.

Requirements management. Teamcenter enables you to define, capture, manage and leverage product requirements.You can use

Teamcenter parsing tools and content management capabilities to

extract key requirements from commonly used information assets, including documents, spreadsheets, drawings and diagrams.Then,

you can link these requirements and manage their dissemination for wider use.

Traceability. You can use Teamcenter to link your product

requirements to downstream processes, providing decision makers with visibility to source knowledge about how or why each requirement was determined.You can leverage

Teamcenter's workflow and change management capabilities to version, track, manage and route requirements changes to

your product teams.

Systems architecture definition. You can useTeamcenter to

outline a product from a logical systems perspective and decompose these systems to key product requirements.You can use these connected requirements to understand how key

characteristics (such as performance, maintainability, reliability, usability and ergonomics) are affected by given requirements.

Extended application and systems integration. Teamcenter's open framework enables you to link critical systems, such as Matlab/Simulink and Rhapsody, into your PLM environment.You can use Teamcenter's "live" integration with Microsoft Office (Excel,Word and Visio) to interact with data in familiar formats. An open framework also enables you to leverage your existing

data and shorten your learning curve.

Mitigate the risk of new product development by understanding product requirements, program constraints, engineering issues

and manufacturing/supply chain issues

Combine systems level understanding with requirements understanding to make better trade-off decisions

Maximize revenue potential by ensuring that you deliver the

right product content at the right time to the right market

Facilitate closed loop feedback by recognizing when strategic intent is at risk and informing lifecycle stakeholders of this

impending impact
