The five stages of each product lifecycle are product development, introduction, growth, maturity and decline. 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 ) solutions, today announced that DELMIA's digital manufacturing solutions were selected for a joint project by Valeo, a world leader of components, integrated systems and modules for cars and trucks. Valeo is the first ever to contribute its know-how in wiring harness manufacturing process to DELMIA's software after a pilot project, extending its PLM deployment to manufacturing processes optimization. The solution developed by DELMIA DELMIA Digital Enterprise Lean Manufacturing Interactive Application , through a close partnership with Valeo, has been tested in Valeo's industrial environment and demonstrated its capability to improve its processes. The implementation of the solution at Valeo VCS's (Valeo Connective Systems) pilot site for a key process demonstrated a substantial improvement over its current optimization methods, justifying a generalized deployment of the solution at all Valeo VCS (1) (Verilog Computer Simulator) See Verilog. (2) (Version Control System) See version control. production sites. DELMIA extends to digital manufacturing the parts of Dassault Syst[c]mes' portfolio already in Valeo's PLM strategy, which comprises 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. for design and ENOVIA MatrixOne ENOVIA MatrixOne or MatrixOne is a provider of Internet business collaboration software. The company is a subsidiary of Dassault Systemes. MatrixOne specializes in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). Most customers of MatrixOne are big Fortune 1000 companies. for enterprise PLM. "After demonstrating the value of our solutions for leading car manufacturers, we are confident that they are equally useful for their suppliers. That is why we are working in close cooperation with Valeo, a world leader in its field," says Yves COZE, vice president europe, DELMIA, Dassault Syst[c]mes. "We are very satisfied with the results, which confirm the added value Added value in financial analysis of shares is to be distinguished from value added.

The Digital Manufacturing solution will be deployed by all the manufacturing sites of Valeo's Connective Systems' divisions in charge of development and production of electrical harnesses for cars. Electrical Harnesses represent a considerable part of the total cost of a car. Any improvement leading to increased quality and lower production costs is considered strategic by OEMs and their suppliers. This Digital Manufacturing solution supports a unified manufacturing process across all sites. This provides a consistent method for planning and pricing, managing change and diversity, which creates recommendations for production line organizations based on production forecast or production mix variability. It also generates validated work instructions for each station on the production line. DELMIA, the digital manufacturing brand of Dassault Syst[c]mes PLM offering, allows manufacturing organizations to define, simulate, validate, optimize, and capitalize their manufacturing processes in a collaborative environment.
