LIMM Case Study on Design and Manufacturing Synchronization

This case study outlines the collaboration between a major Asia-Pacific port-handling equipment manufacturer and ITI to enhance their product development process. The client faced challenges in preparing engineering concept drawings and providing accurate cost estimates under tight deadlines. The existing process was inefficient, leading to potential financial losses due to misestimations. ITI was selected as a strategic partner to implement a new product development process that utilized advanced technologies and methodologies. The solution involved an incremental deployment of capabilities, automation of 3D CAD and CAE models, and real-time synchronization of data, which significantly improved quotation accuracy and reduced material costs. The results included a reduction in the time to generate quotes from 21 days to just 3 days, an increase in revenue due to improved win rates, and a more predictable financial outlook based on actual engineering data. Overall, the implementation led to a streamlined process that maximized efficiency and minimized costs.
