Story
Inside KB Home, 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 the United States. Operations engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
KB Home uses SOLIDWORKS from Dassault Systemes as the working layer for operations visibility. Dassault Systemes builds 3DEXPERIENCE applications for product design, simulation, and manufacturing operations across industrial companies. 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 KB Home gets from Dassault Systemes 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.
