NEW BOOK DETAILS USE OF TEAMCENTER ENGINEERING AND PLM

    /24-7PressRelease/ - SAN JOSE, CA, November 26, 2006 - A new book published this week by Design Visionaries offers clear and careful steps to assist engineers in learning the use of Teamcenter Engineering. Teamcenter Engineering and Product Lifecycle Management Basics: A Learning Manual for Teamcenter Engineering with Notes Regarding Implementation by Stephen M. Samuel, Eric D. Weeks and Mark A. Kelley details the use of the Teamcenter Engineering tool in order to organize and manage product definition data throughout the engineering process.

Through this book, one will gain a deep understanding of what PLM is and how it's used. This book contains numerous practical examples. The reader will be guided through all of the concepts, techniques and commands that are necessary to gain a working knowledge of Teamcenter Engineering. Included is the background information needed to fully understand the underlying concepts.

Topics include: What is PLM and how does it work? How does Teamcenter Engineering fit with other systems? Using Teamcenter Engineering. Basic, intermediate and advanced skills. Implementation of Teamcenter Engineering. How to make Teamcenter Engineering work best.

This book is geared toward a broad audience, including engineers who will actually create data and those who only need to review data, such as management, manufacturing, and marketing. Additionally, decision makers who may never touch the data, but need to gain an understanding of PLM, will also benefit.
