In a product development project, various business roles work together to bring a new product to life. Let's explore these roles and their responsibilities. First, we have the development manager, Thomas. He kickstarts the new product development process by defining the product specification and initial structure within the engineering control center. If changes are needed, Thomas creates change records, integrates workflows, and identifies the master data that requires updating. Next, let's meet design engineer Anna from the engineering department. Anna works with external CAD systems to develop the prototype for the new forklift. She primarily uses the engineering control center and occasionally the document management system within the SAP Fiori LaunchPad. Later on, Anna collaborates with Cathy, the product configuration modeler, to define product classifications. Moving on, we have master data specialist Maria, who oversees all master data in the production area. Maria extends the material master, defines new work centers, and creates routings. Based on the engineering BOM provided by Mark, Maria determines the appropriate production BOM. Speaking of Mark, he is the BOM engineer responsible for maintaining material bill of materials. As the product development progresses, Mark reviews and reworks material BOMs using change records. To gain a deeper understanding of multi-level BOMs and component usage, Mark conducts BOM evaluations. Last but not least, we have product configuration modeler Cathy. She handles all data related to variant configuration, defining classifications, configuration profiles, and object dependencies for the forklift variants. In special cases, Kathy collaborates with the engineering department to define the correct data for product structure management or revised classification data essential for variant configuration. Together, these business roles form a cohesive team, each contributing their expertise to to ensure the successful development of the new product.
