Distributed design campuses, complicated design and engineering processes, and different levels of review and change management often lead to inconsistent naming conventions for parts and items in your design engineering database. This in turn can lead to errors, missed opportunities for parts reuse, and excess costs.

Assure consistent and clear descriptions of parts and items in Agile PLM.

Avoid the Inconsistencies That Lead to Costly Errors

We developed DescriptionState to meet the critical need for consistent description conventions in the PLM system. DescriptionState builds an item’s description using attribute information contained on the item. A spreadsheet matrix storing the attributes to use and the associated value mappings is checked into Agile for easy maintenance, or the matrix may be stored outside of Agile for direct access in order to boost performance.
