Approach

Pulling from my apprenticeship with our senior architect, our endeavor is to install Teamcenter and practice change management on the CADs, BOMs, and BOPs for Optics devices which our mechanical engineer has developed.

Formation

Teamcenter is the Rolls-Royce of PLM software

• • Robust enough to handle aircraft carriers, tanks, and jets, Teamcenter will give us insight into professional PLM

  • We will aim for the modules available to support simulation for Optics Devices

  • Repeatable Digital Validation (Digital Twin) is the Physics-based modeling which will help us know expected machine failure

    • Notification will help us notify the Responsible and Accountable if changes to materials or configurations will affect neighboring parts

      • Harnessing the butterfly effect of change management is a key selling point if we are to consult in PLM adoption for machine/CNC shops

Solidworks is the key CAD tool our mechanical engineer uses. We are interested in NX because our senior architect has experience with this - having worked at Siemens

• • We will dive into the specific mechanical engineering of Optics Devices

  • We will design Optics-specific simulations in Teamcenter for ~40 devices our mechanical engineer has designed

  • We plan to get a handle on the Standards Governance available through Optics-related modules

PTC Thingworx is a dashboard-generating tool for IoT devices

• • We are focused on shop-floor improvement

    • Here is where we plan to integrate ERP

      • We imagine expectations for Purchase Orders and Machine Failure being met with resource allocation and notification

    • Shop-floor simulation for operations with VR/AR is another focus

  • Piping sensor data to inform Insurance underwriting is one of our primary selling points

Approach

Pulling from an internship with an Actuary, and having started an Actuarial Club (which is still running) at University, I am approaching ERP from the perspective of Probability and Finance.

Formation

Apache OfBiz is an Open-Source ERP which provides a foot-in-the-door

• • From roots to fruits, OfBiz demonstrates how accounting is at the foundation of resource allocation

  • I filled out the Bill of Process and Material for creating a family recipe salsa

    • With the logistics filled out for sourcing and manufacturing a recipe, I could "flip the switch" to get the process started

Odoo is an ERP I am evaluating

MATLAB Resource  Planning are a set of models which I aim to master

• (See Below)

• Will use Stochastic Processes and Differential Equations to model resource allocation

Netsuite

• • I will explore this professional ERP by Oracle

Approach

Pulling from my experience in data migration into Salesforce, my endeavor is to re-purpose CRM for what I call FamilyRM.

Formation

SuiteCRM is an open-source CRM

• • I have been re-purposing the sales-directed language ("from Lead to Opportunity") for family relationship management

    • I plan to extend SuiteCRM, and work on a prototype for FamilyRM

  • This is in anticipation of our country's systemic integration of "AR Glasses with Social Media" and "23andMe with Tinder"

    • Anthropological Preservation
