Thinkteam
thinkteam excels at managing data for products undergoing constant changes or occasional customizations—products with either long or short lifecycles. These products may have hundreds of versions, each with a separate bill of materials (BOM). thinkteam easily handles queries on product information that would take days to manually and reliably research. For instance, with a given date of manufacture, users can determine which BOM is applicable and view it immediately. thinkteam manages any kind of information and electronic file, regardless of the authoring tool. It applies access rules and storage strategies, automatically launching the right authoring application for file modification or the viewing application for file visualization. thinkteam is available in three different versions to meet the requirements of every kind of user within the company:
• thinkteam document management. Allows the user to create and manage documents of any kind through classical document management functionalities, like Vault management, check-in/checkout, access control, document trees, etc. It comes with standard MS Office integration plug-in You may add optional editor integrations like AutoCAD, Catia V5 Mechanical Desktop, Pro/ENGINEER Solid Edge, SolidWorks and ThinkDesign;
• thinkteam PDM. Includes all the functionalities of thinkteam document management and allows users to create and manage Bill of Material, adding functionalities such as BOM creation, BOM effectivity management, BOM compare, etc. It enhances editor integrations by automating BOM creation and management, in addition to document trees from within the CAD environment;
• thinkteam development tools. Delivers all the tools required to configure graphical workflows, access control rules, database schema and a user interface to tailor thinkteam and other optional thinkPLM applications to customer requirements. Advanced customization tools like the Applications Program Interface (API) and .NET Web Controls library allow users to easily implement complex requirements. The API is an enhanced library/toolkit, which enables users to create custom applications that interact with the thinkteam kernel, while .NET Web Controls allow users to easily create custom web applications for managing thinkteam data.

thinkconfigure
thinkconfigure ties together ThinkDesign and thinkteam, automating the engineering and design processes for customized and configurable products. This provides manufacturers of engineer-to-order and configure-to-order products an efficient environment for mass customized products. With thinkconfigure users can select options from a menu, and the system then asks for specifications. After inputs are checked for consistency according to predefined engineering knowledge, the product configurator automatically generates the BOM, the 3D assembly model and 2D drawings for the customized product. thinkconfigure enables enterprises to deliver Design-to-Order (DTO) solutions. Companies can reduce cycle times, decrease costs, increase quality, and be more responsive to customer demands. The Wizard version provides great ease of use by guiding the user through the various configuration steps. It allows working in an offline mode as well, which is particularly useful when entering configuration data at the customer’s site and transferring them to the company database.

thinkproject for MS Project
With product development projects in particular, most if not all the project deliverables may be tracked through digital representations of the products’ components. Integrating planning tools, such as MS Project, with tools managing the product information along the complete lifecycle, such as thinkPLM ensures proper control of the entire planning and execution cycles of a project. thinkproject for MS Project provides powerful tools to track deliverables progress and gather actual work time within thinkPLM. It ensures smooth integration with MS Project, which is the optimal tool to schedule activities, define constraints, assign resources, and produce project and program reports.

thinkmaintain
thinkmaintain is a Maintenance Management applications allowing the creation of As Built configurations for a product. Users can track the evolution, over time, of each single serial number delivered to a client. Functionalities like part replace, add or delete allows users to monitor the evolution of a single product instance when maintenance activities take place. The capability to link documents to part numbers instances, used in a specific product serial number, allows users to document maintenance activities. As Built configurations may be created starting from the Engineering BOM or loaded from As Built reports produced by an MRP or ERP system.
