Overview

A global manufacturing enterprise was executing a large scale vehicle program where manufacturing readiness depended on the quality of upstream engineering requirements. Requirements authored in Code Beamer directly influenced process design, tooling readiness, validation planning and production ramp up across multiple plants.

The Challenge

Creating manufacturing ready requirements in Code Beamer was a manual and time intensive activity placing pressure on engineering and manufacturing interface teams.

Significant effort was required to analyse and refine requirements before they could be used for manufacturing planning. Inconsistent requirement quality led to clarifications, rework and downstream delays. Validation against manufacturing quality parameters and industry guidelines was manual. Frequent requirement updates repeatedly impacted process planning, validation and release cycles. Together these challenges slowed industrialization and increased execution risk on the shop floor.

The Challenge

The Solution

HCLTech implemented an automation driven tightly integrated with Code Beamer and aligned to manufacturing expectations.

The solution enabled automatic generation of requirements reducing dependency on manual authoring. Built in validation checked requirements against 13 manufacturing relevant quality focus parameters and 41 defined rules. Compliance was aligned to INCOSE guidelines and customer manufacturing standards. Ambiguities and gaps were identified early before requirements flowed into .

This ensured requirements entering downstream processes were clear consistent and production ready.

The Solution

The Impact

  • Reduced time spent on requirement analysis by 50% accelerating manufacturing planning readiness
  • Improved requirement quality by 70% reducing downstream clarifications and rework
  • Reduced time for requirement updates by 60% minimizing disruption to manufacturing programs
  • Improved alignment between engineering definitions and manufacturing execution
  • Established a scalable framework to support future vehicle programs and higher production complexity

Why it matters

By automating requirement generation and embedding quality validation early, the manufacturer strengthened the engineering to manufacturing handoff. This reduced industrialization risk, enabled smoother production ramp ups and improved manufacturing efficiency and program confidence
