Case Study: Emak achieves 30% faster design cycles and 25% shorter engineering-change cycles with Dassault Systemes PLM

Emak trims its product design cycle to bring its new products to market faster with PLM solutions

Emak, an Italian maker of outdoor power equipment operating as a “fast-follower,” needed to shorten the time from concept to factory and fix costly delays caused by poorly managed engineering changes and poor supplier collaboration. To address this, Emak adopted PLM tools centered on Dassault Systemes’ CATIA V5 to give engineers an integrated way to manage designs and share up-to-date specifications with suppliers.

Using Dassault Systemes’ CATIA V5 PLM capabilities to track and control design changes and publish accurate engineering bills of materials, Emak streamlined collaboration with suppliers and maintained multiple design configurations more effectively. The result: a 30% reduction in time to generate CAD models, a 25% cut in the engineering change cycle, faster time to market and lower costs from design errors and production delays.
