3DCAD "Creo" Implementation Case | 50% Reduction in Man-Hours with MBD

CNH Industrial: Achieving a 50% reduction in time by moving away from traditional drawing-based methods.

CNH Industrial has reported that by implementing Model-Based Definition (MBD), they have achieved a "50% reduction in time" compared to their previous drawing-based approach. They recognized that creating 2D drawings requires time and cost, and by embedding all information such as tolerances and notes into the 3D CAD model, manufacturers and end-users can gain a deeper understanding of the product's intent. This has improved the efficiency of information transmission and resulted in significant time savings. However, there are challenges in transitioning to MBD, as it has become clear that competing formats (such as Creo View, 3D PDF, QIF, etc.) can disrupt the digital thread, and delays in the transition can occur if support from executives is lacking. Nonetheless, by leveraging MBD, they have significantly streamlined the process from design to manufacturing. *Please refer to the materials for details on the challenges CNH Industrial faced in transitioning to MBD and the specific approaches that led to the 50% time reduction.*
