ABOUT THE PRESENTER : YOGESH KHANZODE Masters in Production Engineering 17 years experience in Engineering Industry 12 years with Whirlpool – India, United States Expertise in Product Development, Simulation, CAD Automation and PLM PTC Creo (Pro/E) user since 1998 and Windchill user since 2004 Proud Member of Whirlpool PLM Windchill Program team Passionate about playing Chess and was winner at University

AGENDA CAD-PLM Landscape at Whirlpool Key Drivers and Business Value CAD Conversion Approach Qualitative Comparison - CAD Conversion methods CAD Data conversion tools Investigation results CAD Conversion Request Workflow Challenges and Mitigation

CAD-PLM LANDSCAPE AT WHIRLPOOL Custom PLM “Recent Acquisitions and joint venture resulted in integrating 3 different CAD platforms and PLM systems to native PTC Creo and Windchill PLM”

Harmonization of CAD & PLM platform CREO - Windchill Uni graphics SolidWorks SolidEdge Custom PLM “ Devise an approach and methodology to handle current requirements and address anticipated future integrations ”

“ Single source of truth for business data” KEY DRIVERS Objective   Convert Legacy Multi-CAD file types to single CAD file system Enable Design Collaboration and re-use design data between Whirlpool Corporation and new acquisitions Integrate existing IT applications Business Value Accelerate time to market with common CAD file system Consistency in processes and execution of operational efficiencies improving overall productivity Data integrity and effective design collaboration “ Single source of truth for business data”

CAD COVERSION APPROACH - OVERALL START UP PHASE PILOT PHASE EXECUTE PHASE Analysis of data for CAD conversion Evaluate and purchase CAD conversion tool Establish CAD conversion process Set up offshore CAD team Dry Run Plan conversion of identified CAD data Monitor & update Complete pilot conversion and record the learning Plan for Remaining data set for next phase Plan conversion of identified projects Complete CAD conversion As needed, Adjust plan based on PLM migration & Product roadmap

CAD MIGRATION APPROACH DRY RUN PLAN PHASE Execution Phase SIGN-OFF PHASE Study CAD inputs in detail for each category Identify first batch of models/ drawings to test Engage Business CAD leads in each product group Perform conversion for pilot batch Validate data quality with QC process Test data release in Windchill PLM, CN Refine validation criteria, QC process Validate effort, cost & assumptions Refine migration approach Review & sign off with business team DRY RUN ESTIMATIONS ARE CAPTURED FOR OVERALL PROJECT TIMELINES, BASE LINE AND FUTURE REFERENCE

QUALITATIVE COMPARISON- CAD CONVERSION METHODS Feature Based Conversation Geometry Based Conversation Feature based translation capability for solid parts in batch mode File reading capability from Solid Edge to Creo Support for Associative drawing capability B-rep Geometry translation with geometry healing Batch mode capability & output report Output auto comparison module Recommended software for Translation B rep translation average capability Lacks support features based translation for sheet metal parts Limited drawing capability Limited recommendation from IT vendors Can’t read direct file from Solid Edge to Creo Limited to No Feature based translation capability Does not Support Associative drawing capability

Key Criteria's while checking output quality Part conversion as solid Geometric imperfections Mass properties analysis Ability to convert in sheet metal Assembly and its part retrieval Drawings and its entities transfer

B-rep Geometry translation thru Step format in case of Solid Edge * CAD DATA CONVERSION TOOLS INVESTIGATION RESULTS CAD DATA TYPE & COMPLEXITY Geometry Based Conversion Tools Comments Feature Based Conversion Simple Solid Good B-rep Geometry translation thru Step format in case of Solid Edge Very good Feature translation Medium Solid Feature + Geometry Complex Solid Average Geometry translation Sheet-Metal Assembly Drawing Not supported NA Limited capability Drawing with Associated models. *Above results valid for identified CAD data Set and will vary based on company CAD design complexity. Deciding factor would be what % of CAD fall in various categories.

Business Project Manager- Requestor Creo 3D, drawings Ready with QC CAD Conversion Request workflow OFFSHORE CAD team Business Project Manager- Requestor Offshore Project Lead Quality Parameters 3D Model Geometry Surfaces Drawing standards Dimensioning/tolerance Assembly structure CN print report Conversion Target CAD Source : Multi- CAD Checker/ Reviewer Creo 3D, drawings Ready with QC Check in CAD Data / Release thru CN Approved by business ■ 13

CHALLENGES & MITIGATION Domain Complexity Project offshore team to obtain product category knowledge by attending training and KT session Knowledge of Product category design data Technical Complexity Project team to collaborate with SME and get resolution from Software vendor Data comparison by tool, QA checker, CAD Team training and Quality Check-list Complex CAD Data conversion and Validation Conversion data accuracy Performance Project lead to create and manage Project plan based on priorities and utilize resources efficiently Volumes, Peak Load, Priority based response times, scalable and flexible Governance Project lead to coordinate with Business team for End-to-End program governance Interfacing with multiple programs and Business project owners
