Introduction for PDM

The Product Data Management (PDM) Module is the place where Engineering may establish work instructions, setup instructions and/or checklists.   References to related documentation, Engineering notes, and production feedback on the product is also available. With the PDM module, the user may create both text instruction and graphical images.

 

Once a product has been established, similar products with some or all of the same instructions can have instructions copied from the original product, then modified to suit requirements.

 

The work instructions are available to users in the shop floor module, and users may elect to print the work instructions in the Work Order Traveler Setup traveler module. 

 

Information entered in this module can be accessed via the Shop Floor Mgmt module.  Work Instructions, Special Instructions, Documentation, Work Center Check List and Notes are available.
