Case Study: Team Penske achieves 30% shorter engineering cycles with Hewlett Packard Enterprise

How a Championship- Winning Race Team Cut Engineering Cycles By 30%

Team Penske, a championship-winning race team with more than 400 major wins, faced a bottleneck in engineering: engineers spent up to 65% of their time moving Excel files and managing logistics instead of improving car performance. To reduce management overhead and speed design cycles, Team Penske engaged Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), working with HPE Services and HPE Product Lifecycle Management Services to target their PLM workflows and PTC Windchill environment.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise ran a digital transformation workshop, upgraded and customized Team Penske’s PTC Windchill PLM, and optimized workflows so engineers could collaborate without interference. The HPE solution returned time to design, cutting engineering cycles by about 30%, saving an estimated 120 hours per engineer per month (190 person-days per month), doubling component-library accuracy, and reducing licensing costs by roughly 40%, enabling faster, higher-quality design work.
