How productive is your current proposal
process? How many documents were delivered on time or were late? What is the closure rate of change
incorporation? What products have the most reported problems? How are your parts performing? What are
the most common failure modes? How do project A and project B compare in terms of their release volumes?
What is the current status of supplier performance on project XYZ?

Users can leverage Reporting and Analytics’
web-browser client and cache analysis
techniques to perform “snapshot” business
analyses and generate ad-hoc reports – as
well as to support trend analysis/reporting.
Reporting and Analytics leverages underlying
caching and data cube techniques to reduce
system overhead and thereby lower
ownership cost. These techniques enable
users to utilize the same data for different
types of analyses.
An integrated scheduler optimizes operations by enabling users to run reports immediately, periodically
or at later times. Users can request reports by type while basing appropriate variations on data
selections. In addition, users can perform trend analysis of data gathered from multiple applications.
Use cases
Complex report generation and analysis. Reporting and Analytics can be used to produce a variety of
complex reports, including:
• Detailed BOM/part list reports
• BTP package status reports
• BOM comparison reports
• Part failure analysis reports
• ITAR reports
• Process status and performance reports
• Orphan part reports
Reporting and Analytics’ users leverage Teamcenter’s core application-specific object model and
intuitive user interface to map Teamcenter-managed objects, relationships and attributes into flexible
business queries.
Customized analytics and Teamcenter’s drill-through capability. Reporting and Analytics can be used to perform
a variety of customized analytics, including:
• Organization-specific process status
metrics and KPIs
• Multi-level root-cause analysis
• Mean time between failure (MTBF) analysis
With Reporting and Analytics, organizations
can define their own formulas for status
interpretation and color-code this
information for visual display. This allows end
users to quickly recognize high-level issues
and drill down into areas of specific concern
(such as immediate process levels) or drill
further down into detailed data that can be
used to identify trends and specific issues
that need to be addressed.
