3D CAD METHODOLOGY PRESTUDY

Sammanfattning: The report describes a prestudy project for Epiroc Rock Drills AB at the department PLM Solutions. The company consists of a number of divisions thatall work with or are affected by CAD models. PLM Solutions has long seen a need for a common methodologybut due to the priorities of other projects this has been delayed. The purpose of the prestudy was to provide a mapping of the CAD methodology at the company today and also investigate the need for methodology. Based on the mapping, a recommendation was given ofhow PLM Solutions shouldproceed with a major methodology project. The recommendation wastocreate a common overall CAD methodology and take advantage of the already existing methodsin the organization. As the problem was treated as a prestudy, the method of a prestudy model is also the case. The model is general and adapted to fit this particular project. The approach deals with the phases: start-up, background analysis and solutions. The background analysis examines the current situation analysis using models for interviewing techniques. A larger part of the basis for the prestudy rests on interviews with stakeholders. The result is presented based on the same phases that the method consists of. The result is a mapping of the methodology and needs of the divisions, this is also visualized using a SWOT analysis. The results arealso the recommendation and requirements based on the interviews and business case. Continued work should as a suggestion include several more interviews, collecting more material from around the divisions, more detailed calculations and a focus on the departments that are affected by the models.
