  3. Agenda Purpose: This presentation will provide an overview of how ITT implemented the Checkmate digital product validation tool. Topics Defining the motivation for file checking Project implementation Checkmate module testing and evaluation Checker and profile selection and configurations User training Results reporting 3

  4. Determining the need for file checking MCAD Community Demographics MCAD Standards Updates Implemented, timed with Check-Mate rollout, management backing 4

  5. Mapping out Managements Desires Meet with management to make some decisions regarding logistics; Standards Compliance & Enforcement User/Supervisor Training Managements Reporting needs Determining things to be checked Prioritizing things to be checked Who checks what when 5

  6. Creating a Project Plan Determining what steps and resources would be required to implement Check-Mate 6

  7. CM Module Testing & Evaluation • Acquired 30 day trial licenses to evaluate tools • Determine what the expense would be to purchase and maintain the necessary modules to accomplish our goal • Set Up & Evaluate; • User GUI experience • KF Check-Mate Author Tool • UGS supplied results viewing & reporting tools • CKViewer • QDASH-Quality Dashboard 7

  8. Module System Configuration Making Decisions & Setting The Environment Variables Accordingly UGII_CHECKMATE_LOG_DIR= X:\checkmate UGII_CHECKMATE_OUTPUT_MQCLOG= 1 UGCHECKMATE_USER_DIR=%UGII_CUSTOM_DIR%\checkmate UGII_KF_USER_CLASS_DIR=%UGII_CUSTOM_DIR%\checkmate 8

  9. CK Viewer • Evaluate The CK Viewer Reporting Tool 9

  10. QDASH-Quality Dashboard • The Quality Dashboard Reporting Tool 10

  11. Check-Mate KF Author • Testing • Understand the behavior of OOTB checks • Understand the ability to modify OOTB checks • What’s required to create custom checks 11

  12. OOTB Checker selection • OOTB Checker review per CAD standards • What can we use? 12

  13. Custom Checks Needed • After selecting the OOTB checks we want to use, determine what custom checks need to be created to fill the gaps in checking the things we want to check • Create the custom checks • Some Examples; 13

  14. Profile Creation • Create profiles for modeling and drafting files with the combination of OOTB and custom coded checks 14

  15. User/Supervisor Training • Develop & Deliver end user training resources • “A picture is worth a thousand words” the Russian writer Ivan Turgenev wrote (in Fathers and Sons in 1862), "A picture shows me at a glance what it takes dozens of pages of a book to expound." • Link to “How-to” guide from MCAD standards • Create Camtasia “How-to-use” video based training • Create Checker Reference Guide • Create “Correcting Problems” video based training 15

  16. User Training-”How To Use” • How to run Check-Mate from the GUI example 16

  17. User Training- A Checker Guide • What do you mean my part failed? What does that error message mean? DFA? 17

  18. User Training-”How To Correct Failures” • Example of correcting the feature positioning error 18

  19. Retrieving the data Users are directed to check and fix their WIP We run batch result checks weekly on Teamcenter Engineering released parts Command Line Utility (ug_check_part) ug_check_part [-read_result | -save_result ] [options] [<partfiles...>] 19

  20. Reporting the results • Reporting the results. Now that I have all this information what do I do with it? • GUI for users for WIP • Results roll-up summaries for management • How do we get there from here? • Determine managements desires • Evaluate CKViewer & QDASH • Create custom report tool if needed based on the way management wants results reported 20

  21. OOTB Reporting Options • CK Viewer & Quality Dashboard 21

  22. Custom Reporting Tool Based on managements input it was required to create a custom reporting tool. TCeng PDM information desired Top 10 checks for supervisors Expandable to multi-CAD 22
