Engineering Process Management

Stages provides a model-based approach for engineering processes to help organizations achieve process improvements.

Person using Stages software

There are fundamental differences between transactional business processes, such as order processing, and engineering processes, such as product or software development, which are widely characterized as knowledge-centric work.

The idea-to-offering value stream of a product or service is characterized by many iterations, feedback loops, cross-discipline synchronizations and even increased tool automation, but the process is still driven by humans. Furthermore, development of software-intensive products continues beyond Start of Production (SOP) and extends into actual end-of-life (EOL) many years later.

A Model-based approach for engineering processes

While some organizations describe their engineering processes in documents, other leading engineering companies have transitioned to a model-based process landscape optimized for knowledge-centric work.

This approach has been realized using Stages in automotive, aerospace, medical device, transportation and other engineering-driven industries.

Explore the unique Stages features optimized for engineering processes along the whole process lifecycle.

Govern

Effective governance is essential for successful process rollouts:

  • Identify stakeholders and key business objectives.
  • Elicit value streams.
  • Define process architecture and process owners.
Build a solid foundation for your process journey.
Model

Create process models instead of static pictures:

  • Model human-friendly processes structured by a WHO-WHAT-WHEN-HOW-WHY process-metamodel.
  • Safely build large process landscapes, variants and tailored instances through modular process architecture with clearly defined interfaces.
  • Improve process consistency by automatically validating modeling guidelines.
Simplify your processes with a methodical and proven approach.
Approve

Ensure stakeholders align on process changes:

  • Define customized review and approval workflows.
  • Capture stakeholder feedback through decision methods such as ballots or full consensus.
  • Minimize effort by automating process updates, version and status management.
Speed up process releases to rapidly react on changes.
Adopt & Apply

Adopt new practices, methods and tools quickly:

  • User-centric display of process flows, SIPOC tables, RASIC and other human-friendly visualizations
  • Full transparency from top-level value streams to detailed process activities.
  • Annotated changes in case of process updates.
Roll out process updates and adjust your way of working.
Tailor

Only do what matters with rules-based process tailoring:

  • Calculate the optimal process for each program, project or team. 
  • Adjust processes without changing the past. 
  • Signal potential compliance violations. 
Operate with minimal process overhead.
Automate

Maximize process efficiency through integrations with Atlassian Jira, IBM Engineering Lifecyle Management, PTC Codebeamer and Integrity, MS SharePoint, MS Project, and other engineering tools.

Put the process to work.
Measure

Understand how processes are used in practice: 

  • Gain insights from live usage statistics.
  • Derive KPIs via customizable reports.
Maximize the impact of process improvement.
Compliance

Reduce risk of non-compliance by mapping regulatory and industry standard requirements onto your processes: 

  • Detect compliance gaps by maintaining traceability to standards. 
  • Receive compliance warnings when tailoring processes. 
  • Generate compliance evidence including project work products. 
Significantly reduce the efforts of audits and assessments.
Feedback

Evolve into a learning organization by listening to you users: 

  • Capture user feedback directly in process descriptions. 
  • Create feedback tickets in Jira, ServiceNow, Codebeamer, PTC Integrity, IBM ELM or Redmine. 
  • Plan change requests for future process versions. 
Proll out process updates and adjust your way of working.
