Motivation for Reuse and Standardization
Huge number of components and
variants.
Capture engineering expertise, to
leverage it by other users.
Optimize classification structure to
support specific user domains and
day-to-day task activities
Challenge
Classification is an appropriate way to
get the part variety managed.
Integrate additional methods into
development processes to boost the
standardization approach.
Solution
Reduction of the number of parts.
Decreasing of cost for part administration.
Scale effects in purchasing and inventory
management.
Faster development times by reusing
existing parts.
Increase in quality and added value by
reuse of proven components.
Risk reduction by using standardized
components.
Securing of engineering knowledge.
Benefit

What is BCT aClass?
BCT aClass is an easy-to-use classification
system for the structured storage and reuse
of product data within Teamcenter
• Easily find existing data with the help of
different search strategies
• Processes to support reuse and
standardization
• Direct adding of parts, features and
materials in NX without switching
applications

Classification of Product Data

May 16-19, 2016Page 26 Siemens PLM Software
What allows classification?
Classification allows:
• The categorization of reusable components in a
folder structure
• The description of the components with
characteristics
• The simple search for reusable components
• Finding a classification structure that suits all involved is
nearly impossible
The solution: Library Management

Library & Specification
Roadmap
Library Management
Build up different libraries for specific domains
Concept libraries
• Each library can be targeted at specific use
cases e.g. for different disciplines for
engineering or for program specific parts
lists
• Use membership rules to fill library
structures automatically from existing
classification hierarchy
Specification
Capture engineering knowledge from domain experts
Concept specification
• This makes it possible to bring more engineering
knowledge into the system, also to be reused from other
individuals.
• Capturing expertise e.g. technical constraints from a
domain expert
• Rules based system to encode that expertise in a way that
adds value to the user
• Should make processes more efficient and less error-
prone because the rules guide the user to valid selections

Reuse Opportunities with Teamcenter Libraries
Summary
Multiple libraries can be configured to meet a wide range of business needs for
different users, projects and programs (reduce to what is relevant)
Libraries promote the core benefits of a reuse and standardization strategy
Libraries leverage your existing investment in Teamcenter classification
Adopt libraries at a pace that makes sense for your business
Siemens PLM and BCT continue to improve reuse capabilities critical to PLM
