Audit · Data flows & processes
Audit of the data flows and processes of your engineering department.
Understand existing practices to improve your engineering department's operations.
SCOPE DATA examines how your technical data is created, organised, approved and shared. The goal is to identify bottlenecks and recommend improvements aligned with your working practices.
A standalone assessment or the first phase of a PLM project, including a potential move to 3DEXPERIENCE.

Your day-to-day operations
Does your engineering department face these challenges?
A process may appear to work but still create delays, errors or dependency on a few individuals.
Inconsistent practices
Each user has their own way of organising, naming or sharing data.
Hard-to-track approvals
Checks, revisions and releases: it becomes difficult to know who approves what, and when.
Complex cross-department communication
Information does not always flow smoothly between engineering, production, methods, quality, purchasing and after-sales.
Excessive manual work
Repetitive tasks slow teams down or rely on a handful of key people.
SCOPE DATA's contribution
Review actual practices, not just the technical environment.
A structured approach built around three complementary activities.
Understand
Review working methods, responsibilities and how technical data flows between teams.
Map
Map data creation, checking, approval and distribution flows, including exchanges between departments.
Prioritise
Identify bottlenecks and risks, then distinguish valuable existing practices from those that need to evolve.
At the end of the audit
Tangible deliverables to support your decisions.
A usable assessment that can support both improvements to your current organisation and the scoping of a future PLM environment.
Prioritised recommendations, not just observations.
AUDIT REPORT
- Summary of current practices
- Map of the main data flows
- Identification of risks and bottlenecks
- Prioritised recommendations
- Initial definition of target processes and PLM requirements, where relevant
Two possible outcomes
An audit that fits your organisation's plans.
Improve your current organisation
Identify improvements to your processes and technical data management without necessarily changing systems.
Standalone serviceScope a PLM project
Define requirements and target processes before deploying a PLM environment such as 3DEXPERIENCE, taking actual practices into account.
First phase of a projectExpected outcome
A clear, shared view of your business processes.
You receive a structured assessment, prioritised recommendations and a practical basis for deciding what to do next.
