Teamcenter Easy Plan helps manufacturing and industrial engineering teams improve operational efficiency, reduce shop floor errors, and increase overall productivity by connecting engineering data, manufacturing planning, and execution in a single environment. Built on Siemens Teamcenter with a PLM backbone, Easy Plan enables organizations to reuse existing product and process information, share workflows across departments and manage changes more effectively.
Easy Plan runs within Teamcenter Active Workspace, a web-based client that simplifies access to PLM data for users across the product lifecycle. This intuitive interface accelerates user adoption and shortens time-to-value by enabling planning and validation anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Easy Plan provides task-based management of the Manufacturing Bill of Materials while maintaining reconciliation with the Engineering BOM. Managing eBOM and mBOM in a unified environment improves accuracy, reduces inventory risk, and ensures engineering changes are implemented without delays. Virtual validation further helps prevent the use of outdated or obsolete parts.
Key capabilities include defining make vs. buy parts, managing substitutes and alternates, and supporting effectivity, kits, sub-assemblies and phantom items.
Advanced optimization tools support plant-level activities such as line balancing, cycle time analysis, and station-level walk path estimation. By analyzing production sequences and distinguishing value-added from non-value-added tasks, teams can improve assembly productivity and validate “what-if” scenarios before execution.
Easy Plan enables early definition and validation of the Bill of Process (BOP), helping teams accelerate new product introductions and reduce costly late-stage changes. Standardized best practices can be reused and adapted across plants, improving consistency while allowing flexibility for local production constraints. This approach improves traceability, collaboration and change propagation across programs and variants.
Manufacturing engineers can author detailed, configuration-driven work instructions using engineering data, PMI, and mBOM information. Instructions may include text, automated references to parts and tools, and rich 3D visualizations such as exploded views and animations. For organizations without an MES, Easy Plan delivers Electronic Work Instructions directly to the shop floor, ensuring operators always have accurate, up-to-date guidance to reduce rework and improve quality.
For organizations without an MES such as Siemens Opcenter, Teamcenter Easy Plan delivers Electronic Work Instructions (EWI) directly to the shop floor.
EWIs provide:
This reduces rework, improves quality and supports faster change implementation on the shop floor.
