CIMOS to Cut Design Time with IBM and Dassault Systemes.Business Editors/Automotive Writers/High-Tech Writers PARIS Paris, in Greek mythology Paris or Alexander, in Greek mythology, son of Priam and Hecuba and brother of Hector. Because it was prophesied that he would cause the destruction of Troy, Paris was abandoned on Mt. & KOPER, Slovenia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2003 Leading Slovenian automotive supplier CIMOS will simplify design and maximize collaboration by standardizing Product Lifecycle Management solution in three countries IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) and Dassault Systemes (Nasdaq: DASTY, Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard .PA) today announced the signing of a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM (Product Life cycle Management) A comprehensive information system that coordinates all aspects of a product from initial concept to its eventual retirement. Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design ) contract with CIMOS, a leading automotive supplier specializing in powertrain, brake and car body parts. The IBM PLM solution, with CATIA A family of 2D and 3D CAD programs from IBM. CATIA was one of the first CAD programs to provide 3D solid modeling. The program was developed by Dassault Systems, a French aerospace company. (R) V5 software from Dassault Systemes for collaborative product development Collaborative Product Development (Collaborative Product Design) (CPD) is a business strategy, work process and collection of software applications that facilitates different organizations to work together on the development of a product. , will enable CIMOS to standardize its product development platform. With a prestigious customer portfolio including Audi, BMW, Citroen, Ford, Peugeot and Toyota, CIMOS will benefit from improved collaborative product development leading to reduced product design time by 15 to 20 per cent. The solution will be deployed company-wide, including four research and development facilities in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina Bosnia and Herzegovina (bŏz`nēə, hĕrtsəgōvē`nə), Serbo-Croatian Bosna i Hercegovina, country (2005 est. pop. 4,025,000), 19,741 sq mi (51,129 sq km), on the Balkan peninsula, S Europe. . This implementation underscores CIMOS' recent decision to standardize with a PLM solution from one supplier exclusively. "We wanted to standardize on one system to simplify our environment and minimize our training, so that people would be up to speed as quickly as possible," said CIMOS IT Specialist Davorka Vilus Vicic. "We found CATIA V5 easy to use, offering transparency to V4 data and proposing new functionalities such as Digital Mock-up mock·up also mock-up n. 1. A usually full-sized scale model of a structure, used for demonstration, study, or testing. 2. A layout of printed matter. and Kinematics kinematics: see dynamics. kinematics Branch of physics concerned with the geometrically possible motion of a body or system of bodies, without consideration of the forces involved. that are just what we need. We also found out that we could implement it across many locations simultaneously. Overall, we see great potential in many areas for this mixed CATIA V4 and V5 environment of over 70 seats. We expect our partners and suppliers to follow us by using it as well." "For more than 20 years, Dassault Systemes has provided the manufacturing industry with the world's most powerful engineering design and data management solutions," said Etienne Droit [French, Justice, right, law.] A term denoting the abstract concept of law or a right. Droit is as variable a phrase as the English right or the Latin jus. It signifies the entire body of law or a right in terms of a duty or obligation. , executive vice president, Sales and Services, Dassault Systemes. "The decision by CIMOS to standardize its entire product development organization on our CATIA V5 solution is another endorsement of the strength of our products in the automotive sector." IBM Business Partner CadCam Design Centar will install the solution.
