MatrixOne Generates Significant Time and Cost Savings for ThyssenKrupp Elevator Manufacturing France
ThyssenKrupp's Design and Manufacturing Processes are over Three
Times More Efficient with the MatrixOne PLM Platform
WESTFORD, Mass.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Dec. 21, 2005—
MatrixOne, Inc. (NASDAQ: MONE), a leading provider of
collaborative product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions for the
value chain(TM), today announced that ThyssenKrupp, which designs,
manufactures and distributes lifts, has deployed the MatrixOne PLM
Platform within its French manufacturing branch, ThyssenKrupp Elevator
Manufacturing France.
In order to streamline its manufacturing process and speed time to
market, ThyssenKrupp worked closely with MatrixOne to merge its
diverse process management solutions into a single, multi-discipline
system. The amalgamation of these solutions has enabled the French
branch to reduce the cost and duration of its manufacturing processes
by 80%, thereby accelerating the time-to-market of the company's new
products.
"The MatrixOne platform proved to be by far the most flexible on
the market, as it allows us to easily input and modify our product
definitions," said Jacques Tailleur, technical data manager at
ThyssenKrupp Elevator Manufacturing France. "Thanks to the solution's
adaptability and scalability, we can progressively enrich the system
and integrate other services or tools according to our future
developments. Moreover, we are now completely autonomous in this
regard."
Due to the large-scale of this deployment, the entire project was
managed in two separate phases. The project first began with product
and application integration, where all product descriptions were
entered into the new system--and the company's CAD/CAM and ERM
(Enterprise Resource Management) applications were also incorporated
into the PLM platform.
The second phase of the implementation helped reduce design and
manufacturing time by allowing customers to provide more detailed
information when placing orders. With the new system, all relative
information is automatically stored, synchronized and updated
throughout the system. All users have complete access to all of this
information, allowing them to gain insight into the exact stage of
product development.
"ThyssenKrupp Elevator Manufacturing France is one of our oldest
customers and highlights our solution's ability to readily evolve with
the growing needs of a company," said Henri Carasso, regional sales
director for MatrixOne. "Every company's priority is to meet its
customers' demands as quickly as possible, while improving its
competitive edge. MatrixOne's solutions have given ThyssenKrupp the
means to achieve this by rationalizing and ensuring that the coherence
of its design and manufacturing processes are transparent at all
levels of the company."
