Tiivistelmä
The amount of computer systems and usage of these system has increased a lot over the years in modern industrial companies. While these systems increase productivity and give new opportunities and practices to company, there are some challenges to face with these systems. The amount of data, companies produce and handle, has increased tremendously and has become harder to manage properly.
The need for controlling the dataflow properly and storing the data to be accessed easily has increased. It is important for companies to notice this need and take action to solve the issues before they become too complex to handle. At Metso Outotec, the need for system and dataflow analysis was already recognized and the company wants to improve its policies for handling data.
This thesis is about product lifecycle system and data management in Metso Outotec Tampere site. The goal is to make it clearer, how the systems and data work over the product lifecycle and how the data flows through the systems. The idea is to visualize the systems and data with an access model and to use interview survey to get all the data. Next to analyse the interviews and access model and find the places where the company could improve its systems and data usage and prioritize these challenges to get most out of them.
The scope of this research was mobile crusher’s lifecycle, and the research was done by interviewing key personnel from that products project. The interviews produced data from systems the personnel used and the data they manage in the systems. Interviews also gave open data about ongoing challenges at Metso Outotec and that data proved to be important also. The ongoing challenges are type of issues that the personnel face in their everyday work and are great points to improve in the work environment.
Based on the interview data, the PLM access model was formed, and it gave insight from the issues in the largest systems in Metso Outotec environment. Teamcenter, SAP and Aton are the largest and the most important systems in Metso Outotec environment and the model gave the understanding that those systems require attention regarding the user groups. The data usage in those systems is really decentralized and there for needs more restrict data grouping for the users to access data properly and restriction open more possibilities for restricted data in those systems.
The improvement suggestions for Metso Outotec are based on the PLM access model and the ongoing challenges collected from the interviews. These suggestions are also prioritized for impact to the company. The main take is that the company must take action to get the new policies in use and confirm that the policies for system usage and data managing is taken seriously across the company. The situation where part of the company uses modern systems and part of the company uses old systems must be dismantled as quickly as possible. It is also important to gather information from the users more frequently to understand the needs and requirement much sooner and not to wait for issues to happen. By listening to users and improving modern system usage and solving the recognized issues, Metso Outotec has great years ahead as industry leading company.
