1 23Workflow Healthcheck Discover and Score and Recommend Document Summarize and Review Select a product workflow, Score the worfklow based on Review the scores and preferably exhibiting one or best-in-class industry stanards documentation with helpful more of these characteristics: and capabilities that meet the recommendations on following criteriea: increasing efficiency - Typical workflow (i.e. day-to- day usage) - Design efficiency - Collaboration and - Workflow incorporating multiple products Coordination - Simulation and Analysis - Workflow based on new or - Industry Standards old releases - Communication and Delivery Document the workflow in Autodesk Praxis

Discovery Questionnaire1 Question Response / Notes Discover and What industry does your business serve? Building industry Document What does the selected workflow today A way of collating system-level information about individual parts on those Overview: Business and workflow provide? parts’ drawings related information What does the selected workflow today A fast, error-proof way of collating the information not provide that you wish it did?

Current Workflow1 Discover and Document Workflow Description: Reuse of existing standard product data to create slightly customized products

Current Workflow Score2 Broken Poor Average Good Innovative Score and Design Efficiency NA Summarize Design and data creation and accuracy Workflow Description: Export and manipulation of Collaboration and Coordination BOM data to add information to part drawings Workload sharing and load balancing Simulation and Analysis Data generation, metrics and interpolation Industry Standards Conformance to industry protocols Communication and Delivery Proficiency in production of deliverables Broken: Loss of work and or data Poor: Manual intervention, rework and or recreation of design or data Average: Features and capabilities yield desired result with minimized risks to performance and data Good: Efficient by industry standards Innovative: Best-in-class, incorporating cloud-based solutions and collaborative load balancing

Workflow Summary2 Benefits Risks / Issues Score and Not manually typing data onto Inventor drawings Requires experience to execute properly Summarize Manual manipulation of data leads to potential data loss Takes a very long time (6-8 person days per project) Workflow Description: Extremely tedious Reuse of existing standard product data to create slightly customized products

Recommended Workflow3 Recommend and Review Workflow Description: Enhanced workflow is streamlined to remove the need to manage iPart children and provide for easier updates to standard product

3 Proposed Workflow Broken Poor Average Good Innovative Score Recommend NA and Review Design Efficiency Workflow Description: Design and data creation and accuracy Enhanced workflow uses Collaboration and Coordination automation to remove the manual processing of data Workload sharing and load balancing Simulation and Analysis Data generation, metrics and interpolation Industry Standards Conformance to industry protocols Communication and Delivery Proficiency in production of deliverables Broken: Loss of work and or data Poor: Manual intervention, rework and or recreation of design or data Average: Features and capabilities yield desired result with minimized risks to performance and data Good: Efficient by industry standards Innovative: Best-in-class, incorporating cloud-based solutions and collaborative load balancing

Review Recommendations3 Observations Recommendations Recommend Eliminates the use of Excel Explore iLogic and the Inventor API to automate the and Review process in Inventor Removes possibility of data loss Next steps and owners Modify drawing templates to facilitate automated Can be executed without knowledge of the project or placement of data with iLogic rule or add-in process experience Saves significant amounts of time and reduces tedium Several applications in AGA environment would benefit from iLogic Next Steps Owner Resources Gauge staff knowledge iLogic and AGA (Travis Vick) Inventor API Further explore process and propose Hagerman SE (Forrest Judd) automated solution Provide proposal for iLogic and Hagerman SE (Forrest Judd) Inventor API training
