Revamped Process Engineering Portfolio

As the R2021x release is now officially available for both On Cloud and On Premise customers, I would like to share with you how the Process Engineering Portfolio has evolved.

Actually the main drivers for this major evolution has been the following:

• simplification by getting rid of prerequisites (except from baseline Platform ones such as ENOVIA PCS)
• clarify positioning of roles in terms of
  • technical functionality scope level : entry versus advanced roles)
  • addressed business domain : generic aspect versus industry specific ones
• adapt portfolio to address industry specific challenges with "bundle" roles
• enhance role names to get closer to real business roles or at least making them more meaningful

So, as a consequence many roles have been impacted versus R2020x release:

• Some roles might have evolved by including now their previous prerequisite
  • ​​​​​​​eg. PSR-Assembly Simulation Expert aggregating MAE & ASE
• Some roles have been merged to provide a better positioning versus real business usage
  • eg. Work Instructions Author now including the Publication part aka PND)
• Some new "bundle" roles have been created to address industry specific markets
  • eg. Home & Lifestyle with PEMEG - Product and Packaging Manufacturing Engineer including PPL, MAE, WKS and PND
• Some roles have just been renamed
  • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​eg. PPL now called Process Engineer and not Process Planner anymore to avoid confusing with scheduling domain)
• Some roles get rid of their previous prerequisite
  • eg. TSX - Time Study Expert which can be sold as stand alone role as it will include some basic process authoring capabilities

New R2021x Process Engineering Portfolio organization

Here is a mapping of the Process Engineering roles based on :

• business positioning : Manufacturing Bill Of Materials (MBOM) definition,  Routings and Operations (Process plans) definition, Work Instructions definition and Process simulation
• user experience level with entry versus advanced level, meaning more advanced and specific capabilities, or discipline specific
• industry positioning: generic versus industry specific
• web User Interface versus win User Interface
• distinguishing also authoring roles versus read only access roles (in red)
