Abstract 

The Design, Production & Operation Single Environment connects the PLM universe. The 3D model supports similar design and production roles: drawings, count hours, end-treatments, BOMs, drive robots, non-Engineering consumable forecasting (paint, blasting, welding, etc.), human resource requirements (manhours, special skills, inspections, etc.). Non-engineering Data & information contributes to the product model: lead time, availability, problem areas, etc. The 3D model is the visual representation of different types of data & information generated and required by different Departments, exploited with today’s EnterprisePlatform-ShipConstructor, AutoCAD, Navisworks, etc. by Autodesk/SSI.
