| Integrated Product and Process Engineering (AP-PPE) |
A master data model for configurable products/materials that have many variants.
It consists of three areas - product structure, process structure and factory layout - in which you can maintain data for BOMs, routings, and production lines for use in repetitive and flow manufacturing. All this data is maintained in an environment called the iPPE workbench. Integrated Product and Process Engineering enables the continual description of a product, from the design phase and production through to operative use.
