Case Study: Forbes Marshall achieves reduced rework and faster time-to-market with Solid Edge

Award-winning firm focuses on process with switched to 3D

Forbes Marshall, an India-based manufacturer of steam accessories and control instrumentation, struggled with a manual 2D drawing process that left them unable to track revisions, with duplicate drawing numbers, vendors using outdated drawings, frequent incorrect component dimensions, high rejection and rework rates, and bottlenecks in delivery. To address these challenges the company moved from 2D to 3D using Siemens Digital Industries Software’s Solid Edge 3D design and PLM tools.

By implementing Solid Edge and its synchronous design and data-management capabilities, Forbes Marshall achieved better visualization and communication, eliminated manual revision tracking and drawing-number conflicts, and significantly reduced waste and rework. The Solid Edge solution improved accuracy, sped time-to-market, lowered costs, enhanced quality and supported increased market penetration.
