Abstract
The paper describes a methodology to build key performance indicators (KPI) from existing product data and the advantage gained in the design and engineering process by using KPIs. With the guidance of the KPIs, developers are able to work more efficiently. Currently, KPIs only used as a controlling instrument for projects and processes. An example of a new type of KPI is the ‘Standardization Degree’. The ‘Standardization Degree’ is calculated from a number of product data. Making use of this calculated KPI, parts or assemblies could be indicated with a special attribute. These indications would be stored in the product data management (PDM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) system of an enterprise. Then, during future engineering processes, the developer can be guided by these indicators in the development of cost-effective carry-over part strategies for the enterprise in a meaningful and low-cost way. Hence, with the use of KPIs in the design and engineering process at the beginning of the life cycle of a product, the enterprises are able to save considerable expense.
