FONT face=宋体 size=2> On the morning of 16th, Rifa Windchill PDM link8.o project kick-off meeting was held in the group meeting room. The launch of this project marks the official launch of Rifa’s product R&D management system, providing technical support for Rifa’s progress in realizing the modernization of R&D management through informatization.
Rifa takes "becoming an agile international company" as its corporate vision. Starting from management reform, it pays close attention to the construction of enterprise informatization, and introduces modern product design technology, modern enterprise management technology and the integration of information systems. After several years of hard work, the company has gradually moved towards a highly agile information enterprise. In 1996, the two-dimensional CAD drawing system was introduced to realize the "drawing board" of technical design. However, with the improvement of product technology and the gradual development of products from single machines to production lines, sections, workshops and digital factories, the development of two-dimensional design software The shortcomings are becoming more and more obvious, and the contradictions are becoming more and more prominent. The company began to introduce PRO/ENGINEER 3D CAD software and PRO/INTRALINK product data management system from the American Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC) in 1998 to form an open, collaborative, shared, and concurrent design product development system environment. At the same time, in order to solidify the results of product design and achieve resource sharing, the company, as the first domestic user of the Windchill system, has established an enterprise-level data management platform-process-based Windchill system management. However, in the early stage of the introduction, due to various factors such as the maturity of the software, the advanced nature of the company's requirement definition, and the lack of resources, the early versions of Windchill encountered setbacks in the company's implementation.
After several years of grinding and hard work, Rifa has gradually accumulated experience in the use of the PDM system in practical applications, and has a further understanding of the system. PTC’s software system has become increasingly mature, and the implementation personnel have more experience in There are also numerous successful implementation cases in China.
After sufficient communication, with the support of the company's senior management and PTC senior management, Rifa's PDM upgrade project, the PDM Windchill project, was officially launched. This project was first implemented on a trial basis in the Textile Machinery Company, and then extended to the subsidiaries of the group. The project is mainly aimed at the PDM standard function configuration, a small amount of customized development, and the system is upgraded to the latest version of PDMLlink8.0 with more powerful and mature functions. After the system is online, it can realize functions such as document management, CAD integration, product data visualization, product structure management, change management, life cycle and workflow management, communication and collaboration, and system management. The project is scheduled to end at the end of August 2006.
PTC’s regional sales director, executive manager and other leaders said at the meeting that PTC will organize a strong project team to ensure the smooth implementation of the Rifa PDM Windchill project. From training during project implementation, business interviews and investigations, program definition, system testing, data sorting, to system promotion, the full support and cooperation of Rifa’s project team members are also required. At the same time, it is emphasized that the largest participation of users is also the project. An important guarantee for successful implementation.
We have reason to believe that with the full dedication of the project teams of both parties, plus Rifa’s standardized management foundation and PTC’s mature software support, Rifa’s PDM Windchill project will surely be successfully implemented, which will add icing on the cake to the enterprise’s informatization construction and accelerate the company’s research and development. The pace of management modernization.
