 | | Better processes from concept to completion |  Sophisticated product design can be difficult to implement through traditional assembly processes. Variations in parts due to manufacturing can make innovative ideas impractical to produce. The IBM tolerance analysis solution provides the technology you need to predict and compensate for potential variations from product concept through production. |
| | | | IBM: A leader in product lifecycle management | To stay competitive you have to produce quality products and build lasting customer relationships while containing costs and shortening production times. The IBM tolerance analysis solution comprises innovative technology and exceptional service expertise to help you meet your short- and long-term goals. - CATIA from Dassault Systemes, the foundation for our tolerance analysis solution, is used by more than 24,000 customers around the globe.
- Manufacturers worldwide use IBM applications as the core CAD/CAM technology for their key programs.
- IBM has more than 150,000 service professionals in 160 countries, with over 1,000 professionals dedicated exclusively to PLM.

| | | | Quality products on a competitive timeline | The tolerance analysis solution is engineered to help you design, build and manufacture quality products on a truly competitive time cycle. Our solution helps: - Speed time to market and eliminate 2-D design dependence with generative modeling and associative modification tools that facilitate fast, easy revision to computerized 3-D prototypes.
- Define and manage 3-D tolerance specifications and annotations with dynamic assistance for standards compliance checking.
- Reduce operational expenses with enhanced subassembly management capabilities that promote bill of material consistency and fewer assembly synchronization errors.
- Improve productivity with product synthesis and analysis tools that allow confirmation of design feasibility, and rapid creation and validation of manufacturing processes.
- Enhance product quality and eliminate expensive trial and error production with tolerance analysis functionality that optimizes manufacturing processes according to design specifications.
- Facilitate concept-to-completion knowledge exchange with comprehensive collaboration tools.
- Contain product production costs with Tolerance Analysis of Deformable Assembly software, which evaluates how assembly processes may impact flexible components.

Johnson Controls called on IBM to help them maximize efficiencies throughout their operations. Together IBM and Johnson Controls instituted a new business model that relies on standardized PLM tools (engineers all use CATIA CAD/CAM design software now, for instance). The result? Quotes can be turned around in minutes instead of weeks. Prototypes can be built in days rather than months, at half the cost—and in many cases they can be eliminated altogether. |
| | | | Technology to keep you ahead of the competition | IBM can help you maintain your competitive edge with comprehensive tolerance analysis solutions that are designed to: - Increase profitability through a faster time to market.
- Contain costs by eliminating back-end tolerancing on the assembly line.
- Enhance productivity and efficiency.
- Foster long-term customer relationships by implementing quality standards that help ensure better final products.
