2. 2 ITT Space Systems

3. 3 Agenda  Purpose: This presentation will provide an overview of how ITT implemented the Checkmate digital product validation tool.  Topics –Defining the motivation for file checking –Project implementation –Checkmate module testing and evaluation –Checker and profile selection and configurations –User training –Results reporting

4. 4 Determining the need for file checking  MCAD Community Demographics  MCAD Standards Updates Implemented, timed with Check-Mate rollout, management backing

5. 5 Mapping out Managements Desires  Meet with management to make some decisions regarding logistics; –Standards Compliance & Enforcement –User/Supervisor Training –Managements Reporting needs –Determining things to be checked –Prioritizing things to be checked –Who checks what when

6. 6 Creating a Project Plan  Determining what steps and resources would be required to implement Check-Mate

7. 7 CM Module Testing & Evaluation  Acquired 30 day trial licenses to evaluate tools  Determine what the expense would be to purchase and maintain the necessary modules to accomplish our goal  Set Up & Evaluate; –User GUI experience –KF Check-Mate Author Tool –UGS supplied results viewing & reporting tools –CKViewer –QDASH-Quality Dashboard

8. 8 Module System Configuration  Making Decisions & Setting The Environment Variables Accordingly  UGII_CHECKMATE_LOG_DIR= X:\checkmate  UGII_CHECKMATE_OUTPUT_MQCLOG = 1  UGCHECKMATE_USER_DIR=%UGII_C USTOM_DIR%\checkmate  UGII_KF_USER_CLASS_DIR=%UGII_C USTOM_DIR%\checkmate

9. 9 CK Viewer  Evaluate The CK Viewer Reporting Tool

10. 10 QDASH-Quality Dashboard  The Quality Dashboard Reporting Tool

11. 11 Check-Mate KF Author  Testing –Understand the behavior of OOTB checks –Understand the ability to modify OOTB checks –What’s required to create custom checks

12. 12 OOTB Checker selection  OOTB Checker review per CAD standards  What can we use?

13. 13 Custom Checks Needed  After selecting the OOTB checks we want to use, determine what custom checks need to be created to fill the gaps in checking the things we want to check  Create the custom checks –Some Examples;

14. 14 Profile Creation  Create profiles for modeling and drafting files with the combination of OOTB and custom coded checks

15. 15 User/Supervisor Training  Develop & Deliver end user training resources  “A picture is worth a thousand words” the Russian writer Ivan Turgenev wrote (in Fathers and Sons in 1862), "A picture shows me at a glance what it takes dozens of pages of a book to expound."Ivan Turgenev1862 1.Link to “How-to” guide from MCAD standards 2.Create Camtasia “How-to-use” video based training 3.Create Checker Reference Guide 4.Create “Correcting Problems” video based training

16. 16 User Training-”How To Use”  How to run Check-Mate from the GUI example

17. 17 User Training- A Checker Guide  What do you mean my part failed? What does that error message mean? DFA?

18. 18 User Training-”How To Correct Failures”  Example of correcting the feature positioning error

19. 19 Retrieving the data  Users are directed to check and fix their WIP  We run batch result checks weekly on Teamcenter Engineering released parts  Command Line Utility (ug_check_part) –ug_check_part [-read_result | -save_result ] [options] [ ]

20. 20 Reporting the results  Reporting the results. Now that I have all this information what do I do with it? –GUI for users for WIP –Results roll-up summaries for management –How do we get there from here? 1.Determine managements desires 2.Evaluate CKViewer & QDASH 3.Create custom report tool if needed based on the way management wants results reported

21. 21 OOTB Reporting Options  CK Viewer & Quality Dashboard

22. 22 Custom Reporting Tool  Based on managements input it was required to create a custom reporting tool.  TCeng PDM information desired  Top 10 checks for supervisors  Expandable to multi- CAD
