About The Customer
Renault is a global automotive company that aims to bring high quality, affordable vehicles that meet the market’s expectations for advances in customer experience and environmental responsibility. The company has more than 40% of its engineers located outside of France in “technocentres” in Romania, India, Korea, South America and Spain. Renault is committed to delivering on these challenges and setting itself clearly apart from its competitors. To achieve its strategic growth plans, Renault needs to ensure its performance in R&D and investments. That performance depends on reducing development cycle times and standardizing the components it develops.
The Challenge
Renault, a global automotive company, was seeking an enterprise-wide PLM solution that would effectively address issues of standardization for its processes and design tools. With more than 40% of its engineers located outside of France in “technocentres” in Romania, India, Korea, South America and Spain, the company needed a global engineering tool that would allow its designers to effectively and efficiently collaborate around the globe. Renault also sought a solution that would allow it to easily access and manage all of the company’s data – from product design and process to simulation, testing and resources information – while ensuring its traceability. The company wanted a single PDM that could be deployed worldwide to cover all of Renault’s needs for data management across product, process, simulation and performance.
The Solution
Renault chose Dassault Systemes’ Version 6 PLM platform as the cornerstone of its global automotive engineering processes to support an internal program called NewPDM. Version 6 met these requirements, while offering a strong dose of ergonomics over older systems. It was important for Renault to simplify 3D navigation through a vehicle or engine that allowed access to all of its engineering documents or deliverables. Through Renault’s Quick Win deployment approach the company has been able to implement 3D collaboration with 3DLive among its sites. A single database prevents problems with data reconciliation. Document management also is vastly improved with Version 6. With Version 6, Renault will have full traceability of all of its deliverables. The documents are easily accessible and, in some cases, even rework is avoided, since at any moment you can refer to past studies and transmit know-how and results to downstream teams.
Operational Impact
  • Renault can measure savings in travel time. They no longer have to send their Romanian and Korean designers to France and vice versa. This saves the time, cost and the environmental impacts of travel.
  • Renault has the ability to understand each other better and interact more easily with colleagues in foreign languages through the common language of 3D drawings or scans.
  • Renault has full traceability of all of its deliverables. The documents are easily accessible and, in some cases, even rework is avoided, since at any moment you can refer to past studies and transmit know-how and results to downstream teams.
  • Renault is able to manage the associativity or digital continuity among different domains or clusters of information that today are split between different systems.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Reduced travel time and cost for engineers.
  • Improved efficiency in design and collaboration.
  • Enhanced traceability of all deliverables.
