Automobile Component Developer Selects Matrix10 to Improve Design and Manufacturing Response Time

MatrixOne, a leading provider of collaborative product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions for the value chain, has announced that Dymos, a business group of Hyundai Motors Group, has selected MatrixOne's Matrix10 environment to manage the design and development of its products.

Matrix10, the industry's most flexible PLM environment, will allow the company to respond to the increasing client demand for customised products.

Dymos develops and manufactures automobile parts for sale through Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) Hyundai and Kia Motors, Ssangyong Motors and Daewoo Motors worldwide.

Its designs and manufactures transmissions and axles for commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses, reduction gearboxes applied for high-speed train and rail motors, and gearboxes for helicopters.

Dymos selected MatrixOne after a thorough evaluation of PLM suppliers and chose MatrixOne's solutions because of their flexibility, performance and ease of deployment.

The company will use Matrix10 PLM to design its complete product lifecycle process to allow for faster design processes to meet specific client needs and to enable faster system configuration without expensive, time-consuming coding.

Matrix10 combines out-of-the-box PLM solutions with the ability to easily adjust business processes to meet the needs of customers at the lowest total cost of ownership.

It includes a full suite of proven PLM business process applications that cover a wide range of processes including product planning, product development, product sourcing and program management.

These capabilities will help Dymos reduce product development time by giving them visibility across programs, maximising part re-use and reducing engineering change orders (ECOs).

Dymos will also be able to improve responsiveness to customers and deliver competitive products faster and at a lower cost; reduce time to communicate engineering changes; increase efficiency and allow engineers to focus on design and product quality instead of process management.

Essential to any successful PLM initiative is the ability to interoperate with existing internal systems and applications - as well as those of your global partners and suppliers.

Therefore, Matrix10 also offers the industry's most open and adaptable PLM backbone with a wide range of integrations and technologies that enable data sharing across applications, tools and enterprises.

"Collaboration across the product lifecycle - internally and throughout the value chain - is the engine for growth and the key to success in the automotive industry," said N.S.

Kim, Managing Director, Dymos.

"With MatrixOne PLM solutions, Dymos will have a single, integrated view into all of its product lifecycle development.

This gives us a significant competitive advantage, allowing us to deliver the superior products to customers on time and at lower cost.".
