Korean Automotive Supplier Daehan Speeds Time-to-Market and Increases Customer Responsiveness With PLM Solutions From IBM and Dassault Systèmes

IBM and Dassault Systèmes today announced that Daehan Solutions Co. Ltd., a leading automotive supplier based in Korea, has deployed their Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions to increase OEM customer responsiveness and to cut costs, improving its competitive positioning in a highly competitive market.

Daehan specializes in the design, engineering and manufacturing of Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) automotive parts. Engineering a pleasant-sounding, smooth-riding vehicle has become as important for automotive manufacturers as enhancing performance or style. Evaluating the right material from an NVH perspective is critical to design. As well, the ability to neutralize influencers like wind and road noise, as well as matching customers’ expectations of a quiet ride, is a competitive differentiator.

Already a CATIA user, Daehan has implemented SMARTEAM for product data management, to speed product development cycle-time and to manage multiple OEM customers’ projects simultaneously. By enabling Daehan to automate business processes throughout the entire product lifecycle, from planning and design to development and after-sales, this PLM solution has helped cut development costs by 20 per cent. With SMARTEAM, data from CATIA and other design-related 3D programs can be shared in real time, across global engineering teams.
