What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Siemens PLM TeamCenter is daily usage for CAD changes, change management, change request activities, and all the details required for change management and product development with product lifecycle management.
A specific example of how I use Siemens PLM TeamCenter for a CAD change is that it is integrated with our Creo, so I check in from PLM, make changes in models, and check out again, storing data such as drawings, calculation sheets, and process documents in PLM, along with BOM tracking and product part tracking.
I sometimes create workflows which adds to my main use case and helps in organizing processes.
What is most valuable?
The best features Siemens PLM TeamCenter offers are its user-friendly interface, which I find more intuitive than other PLMs, making it quite easy to use.
The search feature stands out as very easy in PLM, along with check in and check out functions, and BOM extractions alongside the multi-level BOM creation of PLM itself, which helps in allotting tasks and actions required from some people in workflows.
One feature I love is when we upload a new design; we have to make one folder, and after that, approval from the team lead results in it being directly released to PLM, significantly reducing the time to upload separate one-to-one files.
Siemens PLM TeamCenter has positively impacted my organization by always increasing its user-friendly interface, and we have both types of PLM and received positive feedback from TeamCenter.
I have noticed some positive feedback in that people say other PLMs are a bit harder to use compared to Siemens PLM TeamCenter. One point is concerning change management, as when we search for drawings, we can access it easily from Siemens PLM TeamCenter, and the check in and check out process is very easy.
What needs improvement?
In terms of improvements, I cannot add anything more than what I have experienced. When I use it in daily life, I get all things done as of now, so there is nothing to improve in Siemens PLM TeamCenter at this moment.
