AdientAdient Brings Product Lifecycle onto Ansys
Adient, a consumer discretionary organization in the United States, uses Ansys HFSS from Ansys to support change control for engineering and quality.
Adient standardized product lifecycle data on Ansys instead of keeping parallel copies.
“Engineering and quality needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.”
“Ansys (now part of Synopsys) supplies engineering simulation software for structures, fluids, electronics, and optics.”

Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Fewer stalled items because product lifecycle data has a clear owner |
| Risk and compliance | Ansys HFSS is the governed place engineering and quality use for change control |
| Capability | New joiners can see how change control actually runs |
Story
Inside Adient, change control used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of the United States. Engineering and quality needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Adient uses Ansys HFSS from Ansys as the working layer for product lifecycle data. Ansys (now part of Synopsys) supplies engineering simulation software for structures, fluids, electronics, and optics. The practical change is simple: change control has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Adient gets from Ansys is a durable place to run change control and a way for engineering and quality to see the same product lifecycle data at the same time.
