Value results

| Productivity | Fewer stalled items because operations visibility has a clear owner |

Story
Inside BYD, plant and field operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of China. Operations engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
BYD uses Codebeamer from PTC as the working layer for operations visibility. PTC provides product lifecycle management, CAD, and industrial IoT software used by manufacturers to design and service products. The practical change is simple: plant and field operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What BYD gets from PTC is a durable place to run plant and field operations and a way for operations engineers to see the same operations visibility at the same time.
