Creating effective strategies can reduce time-to-market,lower costs, and improve quality control and businesssystems for increased visibility and decision support.

ChallengesRockwell Automation and IBM Performance Solution provides an

environment that correlates data to synthesize more accurate

indicators such as Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and

First-Run Quality, which take factory floor events and correlate

them to produce meaningful performance indicators.

It includes automotive business processes and data models,along with application scenarios that address the major criticalissues facing today's automotive industry, enabling you to quicklysee how implementing this solution will make your business andmanufacturing processes more efficient. These scenarios include:

Just-in-Sequence Scheduling Locate Vehicle Status Determination

Daily Production Schedule and Calendar Actual Production Determination Overall Equipment Effectiveness Warranty Search on Tracing Information Manufacturing Constraint Checks Vendor Managed Inventory

Where Automation and Information Meet Rockwell Automation and IBMs Per formanceSolution integrates automation with businessinformation systems to provide more data forbetter decisions.

Solutions Begin HereThere is a system for every process. But organizational barriers,varied data acquisition systems and different perspectives oftenfrustrate the true integration of the wealth of information thesesystems generate.

The Rockwell Automation and IBM Performance Solutionsarchitecture seamlessly bridges the traditional gap between

manufacturing and IT to create a unified view of your totalprocess data - operations, customers, producers, vendors andemployees. The result: end-to-end business integrationshopfloor to top floor and back again.

BackgroundKeeping competitive in this fast-paced industry means reactingquickly to changes in the marketplace and on the plant floor. IBMand Rockwell Automation have leveraged their combinedcapabilities to create an integrated automation and information

solution that goes beyond traditional manufacturing executionsystems (MES) to overcome corporate data organizationboundaries.

First-hand information and metrics culled directly from themanufacturing floor can be used to provide accurate status and tobetter refine availability/ability to promise. These metrics canalso be used for planning and to continuously improve processes.

By providing a unified view of processes and data, as well as

providing data integrity, Rockwell Automation and IBMPerformance Solution delivers real-time connectivity, marryingMES and production systems to enable actionable response to avariety of automotive challenges, including:

Assessing current and future plant capability and capacity. Identifying weak links in the supply chain. Determining in advance the vehicles affected by component

deficiencies, which help reduce costly and often unnecessaryrecalls.

Deciding when to implement new technology or applications.

FeaturesRockwell Automation and IBM Performance Solution helps helpeliminate costly inefficiencies in the manufacturing process andthe supply chain. The solution's WebSphere Business Integration(WBI) for Automotive provides an enterprise-wide scalable

framework, allowing multiple front-end applications to seamlesslyinteract with various back-end applications, ensuring internal andexternal process integration.

WBI adapters act as mediators between applications, allowingyou to access and exchange information between differentapplications and data sources. These adapters can be specific toan application - such as SAP R/3, version 4 - or to data protocolslike XML or EDI. They can also be accessed through the Internetfor remote access to your integrated systems 24/7/365.

Rockwell Automation's FactoryTalk server with Common FactoryData Model provides the central repository of relevant factory andbusiness information, ensuring operational, tactical and strategicapplications have consistent, up to date, and accurate data. Thefully integrated solution achieves efficiencies such as:

Detailed factory floor data to guide purchase planning andsupplier interaction, allowing you to reduce lead-time andfloor stock.

Higher levels of quality and process controls through the

integration of external data and historical data. Correlation of factory floor events to synthesize more

meaningful performance indicators. Recording and reporting for warranty claims data and other

information required for compliance with the TransportationRecall Enhancement Accountability and Documentation Act(TREAD).

Personalized portals to view data and display alerts/earlywarnings, along with interfaces for user decisions or input.

Reuse of your current enterprise networking. Rockwell

Automation and IBM Performance Solution requires nospecial networking. It also requires no exclusive hardware,software, administration or extensive additional training.

Integration with your current enterprise security system.
