On the 12th of March Eurostep held a demonstration of Manufacturing Life-cycle Management as part of the STEP T24 (Manufacturing) meeting in Sweden. This demonstration was held as a webinar on April 9th, and is now available for download. The demonstration provides insight into the life-cycle aspect of manufacturing, presenting the benefits of having a holistic view of the product realization process.

The demonstration includes information about:
• Design of parts
• Manufactured individuals
• The process plan for the part and the actual manufacturing activity for the individual
• Type of resource specified in the process plan, and the individual resource used in the manufacturing

In addition, a zonal breakdown is used to represent the structure of the plant and the individual resources located in a particular manufacturing cell of the plant. The resources also have observed states which makes it possible to show which resources that are available when the manufacturing is ordered.

The demonstrations shows how it is possible to see for a manufactured individual:
• When it was manufactured
• What the planned and actual time for manufacturing was
• What resources were used
• What the reported deviations were
• Which resource was responsible for which deviation
