Engineering Release: Understanding Manufacturing Responsibility

Objective: To follow the best practices in defining the Manufacturing Responsibility.

 

Figure 1: Manufacturing Responsibility in Engineering Release

 

Context:

I would like to understand the best practices recommended by Dassault when defining Manufacturing Responsibility with the Organization.

I have the following cases to describe:

  1. Company X: This is my company and is an OEM that designs and produce Aircrafts.
  2. Company Y: Company X aim to limit their scope to FAL only, so they outsource a lot of assemblies and sub-assemblies to company Y for them to assemble and send back to Company X.
  3. Company Z: Company X buys metallic parts (Designed by X) from Company Z and send them to Company Y in order for Company Y to complete the required assemblies by company X (These metallic parts are considered as Buyer-Furnished Equipment (BFE) to Company Y)
  4. Company C: A supplier of Equipment to Company X
     

Figure 2 below shows the classifiable EBOM Parts and Products to MBOM, as well as their industrialization strategies.

Questions:

According to the best practices and recommendations:

  1. What is the correct classification of Manufacturing Responsibility to all the orange boxes in Figure 2? and Why?
  2. Would it make sense to model Assembly #1, Sub-Assembly #2, or Assembly #3 as Provided Parts? Company X do not assemble these parts and are not responsible for Routings or Work Instructions .
  3. Since Assembly #4 Design is not owned by X, then modeling it in MBOM as Provided Part seems to me the best course of action, however, do I need to classify the parts below it as Provided Parts as well? What are the business case scenarios that I need to consider?
