Hello All,
Have two questions to understand latest trends in PLM.
1. What is the recommended tool we need to use for Engineering change management
as per latest trends in PLM. Is ECR/ECO CC31/CC32 still considered
part of best practice or has been Obsoleted ??
2. For Cad Integration, is CDESK obsolete. Has Engineering
Desktop overtaken CDESK. I used to work with CDESK in the past.
Thanks,
Sachin
Hi Sachin,
1. Engineering Record can be used for ECR/ECO process. It is available on the WebUI.
2. I think CDESK is still available. Also Visual Enterprise is the latest tool for CAD integration.
For both (ECR/ECO and CAD integration) SAP recently released a tool called SAP Engieering Control Center. You can find more info related that one:

Thank You all for sharing this useful information. Looks like from your comments both CDESK and ECR/ECO (CC31/32) are still being used but Engineering Change Record and Engineering Control Center is the future.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi Sachin
Please find the replies for the query you have asked.
1. What is the recommended tool we need to use for Engineering change management
as per latest trends in PLM. Is ECR/ECO CC31/CC32 still considered
part of best practice or has been Obsoleted ??
It is still used in industries. But with PLM 7.02 you have more robust mechanism of Engineering
Records which has better capablities than ECR/ECO.
2. For Cad Integration, is CDESK obsolete. Has Engineering
Desktop overtaken CDESK. I used to work with CDESK in the past.
SAP Engineering Center Control is used .
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Classic ECR/ECO with CC31/CC32 can of course be used, but has been considered much too rigid by many customers in the past which lead to the Engineering Record based process flow where much more flexibility is given with regards to the change request and approval phase and change masters are used more or less behind the scenes for the implementation of the changes. In some industries and for some use cases classic ECR/ECO is definitely still applicable.
CDESKand, as Tamas pointed out, SAP Engineering Control Center, can both be used for your CAD integration needs, and of course much more than that with the latter.
Regards, Ulf.
