Checking Major Assembly Projects

Managing projects for complex technical products such as aircrafts, ships, train sets, power stations, production facilities, and so on is challenging for many reasons. Several thousand of components must be assembled and a corresponding number of assembly activities must be managed in the project system. The assembly process takes a long period of time, sometimes even years, and the work of various experts in different areas should be coordinated as required. All components must be assembled in a feasible sequence. Components for assembly should be procured or manufactured in time, but not too early in the process. As the assembly process takes a long period of time and technology is complex, engineering changes are very frequent and need to be considered even if the assembly process has already started.

The Check Major Assembly Project app helps you to maintain the consistency of the project created for the major assembly. It enables you to detect issues of the major assembly BOMs and the networks needed to assemble a certain model and unit. Due to the complex structures of major assembly projects, different types of issues can prevent the smooth planning and execution of your projects. Using this app, you as the production planner, can drill down from every issue into a related app or transaction that allows you to fix the issue.

After returning to and refreshing the list of issues, you can continue fixing any remaining issues, whereby you can freely decide whether and how to fix an issue and thus have full control of the project.
