The industry is in the process of digital transformation. This digitalization makes every step of the value chain transparent. The factory of tomorrow is faster, more efficient and more flexible: machines communicate with each other, inform each other about errors in the production process, identify scarce material stocks and reorder. The technological possibilities for linking objects, data and processes place new demands on everyone involved.

In the future, products can be manufactured in a highly individualized manner. In order to provide user information, training and service documents for individual products, individual information units must be kept available instead of extensive documents. It must be possible to assign these information units to the product components.

Modularization, standardization and classification

The creation of these new documents can only succeed economically if the information units are standardized and modularized and, above all, if they are classified accordingly (e.g. IIRDS). This will not be possible without the use of Component Content Management Systems (CCMS). More and more manufacturers will be forced to use such systems. However, thorough preparation must take place before selecting and using a CCMS. The editorial framework conditions must be clarified, requirements for the CCMS specified and staff trained.

CCMS sets high standards

The influencing factors between system, company, people and project consist of many individual aspects that interact with each other and bring about a variety of changes for the company and all those involved in the course of a CCMS implementation. The introduction of CCMS is made particularly difficult by

  • lengthy decision-making processes in the companies,
  • insufficient personnel and time resources in the introductory phase,
  • lack of assessment for the necessary qualification of skilled workers.

tecteam is an independent consultant

Companies are well advised to seek support from a suitable, independent consultant during the implementation phase. tecteam has already assisted many companies with the implementation of CCMS. Right from the outset, tecteam considers all aspects to ensure that the system implementation is as targeted and cost-efficient as possible.
