3DCAD "Creo" Implementation Case Study | GE Appliances

Achieving PPAP report automation! The results brought by the centralization of design information.

GE Appliances is actively utilizing Creo MBD to promote digital transformation. For them, the key to streamlining processes was automating downstream processes. By implementing MBD, they were able to retain all design information within the native 3D CAD model, eliminating information duplication. In particular, automating the creation of PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) reports resulted in a reduction of errors, leading to time savings and cost reductions. Furthermore, by introducing QIF (Quality Information Framework) to check the quality of downstream results of MBD, they successfully reduced manual work and ultimately achieved a 50% reduction in error rates. They emphasize the importance of establishing consistent standards between human readability and machine readability. Please refer to the materials for details on GE Appliances' MBD strategy and the specific methods used to halve the error rate, which may be beneficial for your quality management.
