Hello,
 
Our community has grown - now 19 customers, which is a good size for productive discussions.
 
Now that summer holidays are wrapping up, we'd like to ramp up discussions in September and October.
 
To be respectful of your time, we categorized discussion in 3 topics, so please join which every topic(s) are interesting for you:
  • "Cradle to Gate".  Most companies start here.  These topics cover "upstream" (material and component supply) and "operational" footprints (mainly factory).  Feature-wise, sample topics include CAD optimization, material selection, supplier management, material compliance, BOM roll up, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) integration, and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) generation.
  • "Cradle to Cradle".  These are circularity topics for both design decisions and service operations.  Feature-wise, sample topics include modular design (hardware and software), design-for-service, field service optimization, circular service parts logistics, and Digital Product Passports.
  • "Design for Sustainability".  We're actively building a requirements template for sustainable design best practices.  This team will gain early access to a shared instance of this template to discuss/advise on the usefulness/organization of the content.
We plan to have recorded kick-off calls on each topic in September or early October.  We'll share our current progress in these calls to start the discussions.
 
Thank you for interest and participation.
 
Regards,
Dave

Good evening, 

 

We have set up a "Design for Sustainability" meeting for October 3rd to review the Design for Sustainability Requirements Template, and a "Cradle to Gate" meeting for October 23rd to review BOM Roll Up progress.  You should have received an invite to each one.  If you didn't, please reach out, and we'll add you.

 

Hope to see you there!  If you can't make it, we'll record both sessions.

 

Sincerely,

Dave

Hello, we added a third session on November 8th to review Windchill's material data model (which Creo plans to leverage as well).  We're seeking customer advice on how well this data model handles your sustainability use cases.  As originally planned and discussed in our Spring 2024 workshops, these material data progressions are currently "on plan" to increment through our 2025 releases.  ~Dave
