Areas of Expertise
Ford Teamcenter / C3PNG Integration
RLE operates permanent, four-tier Teamcenter links to Ford’s global C3PNG environment. We create and map part numbers, align metadata, and guide first-frame data through the NG release workflow, all while meeting the latest security and attribute policies.
The result: data that drops straight into the target program teamcenter with zero rework or timing slip.
CAD Preparation & Quality for Ford
Before any model goes upstream, we apply Ford’s FCSD checklists, run Q-Checker analyses, and complete attribute sets so files arrive “green” on the first pass. Our specialists also translate CATIA, NX, Creo or SolidWorks data into C3PNG-ready JT or native NX, eliminating manual conversions and broken links.
Data Procurement & RFQ Support
Need legacy geometry or BOM extracts for a Request-for-Quotation? We pull historical CAD, drawings and material specs from C3PNG, package them securely, and deliver them to your bid team, typically within 24 hours, so you can price work accurately without chasing multiple Ford contacts.
GM Teamcenter / IDS / P2P Operations
Whether you’re on car, truck or powertrain programs, our certified access to GM IDS and P2P environments keeps data moving. We handle part-number creation, attribute population and teamcenter upload, ensuring models comply with GM’s material library, naming conventions and security tiers.
GM Release & Toolkit Compliance
From Checkmate validation through GM Toolkit submission and 3D EDG&T verification, we oversee every gate of the GM release process. Our closed loop routine detects issues early, records corrective actions, and provides a comprehensive audit trail for OEM launch milestone reviews, safeguarding both schedule and quality objectives.
Translation, Governance & Flexible Engagement
RLE provides bi-directional CAD translation between Ford, GM and any mainstream toolset, plus process-methods consulting to embed best practices in your own PLM landscape. Engagements scale up or down with workload while the pricing model flexes from ad-hoc RFQ bursts to 24/7 program coverage, so you pay only for capacity you actually need.
CDSP Client Benefits
Compliance & Quality
Fully certified access to Ford C3PNG and GM IDS/P2P means every file is checked against the latest security and attribute rules. Automated Q-Checker / FCSD routines catch geometry or metadata issues early, slashing late-stage rework and warranty-risk.
Speed & Efficiency
A permanent 4-tier Teamcenter link and pre-mapped workflows let us turn uploads in ‹ 24 h. Designers keep moving while we handle release steps, accelerating program timelines without the drag of extra tooling or manual hand-offs.
Traceability & Transparency
From the initial CAD pull to the final upload in the OEM teamcenter, every step is automatically logged and time stamped. The result is a complete data lineage that meets OEM release audit requirements, including GM Toolkit checks, while KPI dashboards spotlight cycle time, first pass success and emerging bottlenecks.
Scalability & Cost Control
Our global backbone expands on demand during launch peaks and contracts when volumes dip. You avoid extra Teamcenter licences, servers and VPN costs, paying only for the capacity you actually use without idle infrastructure on your books.
