Business-oriented Program Manager over large Product Lifecycle Management program implementing Siemens TeamCenter PLM solution integrated with JDEdwards ERP on the back end and Oracle CPQ on the front end. Program goals include creating a single source for all engineering information for this configure-to-order and engineer-to-order business, enabling powerful classification, search, and re-use of documents, parts, subassemblies, and serial-numbered end items, as well as enhancing accuracy through version control of releases and revisions.The successful implementation included migrating (extracting, transforming, loading) over 1.4 million "documents, forms, templates, and software tools" from MS file system (shared folders) into Teamcenter, where the documents are managed in multi-level document BOMs in Structure Manager under the "end items" (large customer orders for ETO and CTO pumps and compressors). In addition, the current phase of the program included analysis of smart part numbering and serialized part numbering replacement options, procuring vendors to help with data cleansing and migrating of tens of thousands of parts and subassemblies, and many other key standard and design parts decisions. The scope of the next implementation phase will include Parts/Item Management, eBOMs, CAD data management (drawings, models), Attribute Alignment and Classification, and Engineering Change Management. These latter processes will be implemented in a future phase.
