NEC launches new PLM software product
Obbligato III R4.1
Tokyo, June 10, 2016 – NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) today
announced the launch of Obbligato III R4.1, the latest version of its Obbligato
III Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, which consolidates the
management of product technology data such as design drawings, specifications and
bills of material (BOM).

management of product technology data such as design drawings, specifications and
bills of material (BOM).
Obbligato III R4.1 manages not only existing BOM for part types and
quantities, but also bills of process (BOP) for manufacturing processes,
equipment used and others, thereby promoting the sharing and succession of
process charts, operating instructions and other manufacturing knowledge. M

process charts, operating instructions and other manufacturing knowledge. M
Furthermore, consolidating the management of BOM and BOP enables the
influence of specification changes and faults to be identified promptly, not
only with respect to parts, but also with respect to processes and equipment,
and to be addressed in a timely manner. Ensuring the consistency of
manufacturing quality (monozukuri) expedites the start-up of new global
manufacturing sites and contributes to the transfer of production. Moreover,
the continual improvement of BOP to optimize aspects such as production line
configuration and equipment setup requirements by analyzing disparities between
BOP and real time output from sensors using the Internet of Things (IoT)
maximizes the performance of manufacturing sites.

In addition, NEC has added new management functions in order to comply
with the United States Code of Federal Regulations “21 CFR Part 820,”
pertaining to the quality of systems, as established by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for medical device manufacturers.

“With many companies managing BOP with paper or Excel files, and with
the retirement of many industrial engineers, the sharing and succession of
manufacturing knowledge is a major challenge,” said Toshikazu Fukuoka, General
Manager, Manufacturing and Process Industries Systems Development Division, NEC
Corporation. “Obbligato III’s enhancements respond to this challenge by helping
to maintain consistency of manufacturing quality on a global scale with the
standardization of BOP.”
