This course is designed primarily for application consultants within
Engineering and Manufacturing, or employees
working in project-intensive industries
such as offshore, shipyards, industrial heavy engineering, and contracting.
This chapter covers how to register a new delivery project in a specific project site. A delivery project must first exist as a project in IFS/Project. A lesson about connecting the project with a customer order is also included, which is a lesson linked from the Project Management course.
Before taking the lesson in this chapter, you should have basic knowledge about how to work with IFS Applications. It would also be useful to have knowledge about the basic functionality in IFS/Project.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 40 minutes.
This chapter is designed primarily for project managers.
This chapter covers how to register a new delivery project to a specific project site, and how to use a wizard to copy an existing delivery project's product structure and some of its connected objects, such as tags and functions, at the same time.
Before taking the lesson in this chapter, you should have basic knowledge about how to work with IFS Applications. It would also be useful to have knowledge about the basic functionality in IFS/Project.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 20 minutes.
This chapter is designed primarily for project managers.
This chapter covers how to create a project product structure, beginning with the creation of the project items as engineering parts in IFS/PDM–Configuration and then building the structure in IFS/Project Delivery. The structure can be project specific or a combination of standard planned and project-specific parts, which can also be copied from an existing delivery project.
Before taking the lesson in this chapter, you should have basic knowledge about how to work with IFS Applications. It would also be useful to have knowledge about the basic functionality in IFS/PDM–Configuration.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is one and a half hours.
This chapter is designed primarily for design engineers and project members.
This chapter covers how to execute the tender process by obtaining information from prospective suppliers on how project needs can be met. A quotation list is created, consisting of project items and even miscellaneous items from the project. Most of the actual effort involves handling of requests for quotations (RFQ) and bids from selected suppliers to get the best possible basis for estimating the project's planned cost. An introductory lesson about this process has been linked from the Project Management course.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, you should have a basic knowledge of how to work with IFS Applications. It would also be useful to have knowledge about the basic functionality in IFS/Purchasing.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is one and a half hours.
This chapter is designed primarily for design engineers and project members with coordination from the purchaser.
This chapter covers how to connect requirement activities to project-specific items in the project product structure. The activity defines the demand planning for project-specific items given by the activity's early finish date.
Before taking the lesson in this chapter, you should have basic knowledge about how to work with IFS Applications. It would also be useful to have knowledge about the basic functionality in IFS/Project.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 20 minutes.
This chapter is designed primarily for project managers and project members.
This chapter covers how to enter additional information for project-specific items in the project product structure. Additional project item information might include document requirements and document survey, approval routing, or a spare part list.
Before taking the lesson in this chapter, you should have basic knowledge about how to work with IFS Applications. It would also be useful to have knowledge about the basic functionality in IFS/PDM–Configuration.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is one hour.
This chapter is designed primarily for design engineers and project members.
This chapter covers how to create and connect tags for project items in the project product structure. A tag pinpoints the physical location of a project item in a complex project product structure.
Before taking the lesson in this chapter, you should have a basic knowledge of how to work with IFS Applications.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 20 minutes.
This chapter is designed primarily for design engineers and project members.
This chapter covers how to create and connect functions for project items and create a functional structure specific to the project product structure in mind.
Before taking the lesson in this chapter, you should have basic knowledge about how to work with IFS Applications. It would also be useful to have knowledge about the basic functionality in IFS/PDM–Configuration and Project Cost Element functionality.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 20 minutes.
This chapter is designed primarily for design engineers and project members.
This chapter covers how to define and redefine serial numbers for project-specific items in the project product structure. The serial number gives you a tool to keep track of a specific instance of a part.
Before taking the lesson in this chapter, you should have a basic knowledge of how to work with IFS Applications. It would also be useful to have knowledge about the basic functionality in IFS/Part Catalog.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 20 minutes.
This chapter is designed primarily for design engineers and project members.
This chapter covers how to approve the project product structure, beginning with calculating the characteristics of project items with connected characteristics. Project roll-up cost calculations can then be performed for all the project items. Finally, the part definition of these items can be approved. The project item status can be redefined and then redesigned, if necessary, for example, because of changes to the project product structure.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, you should have a basic knowledge of how to work with IFS Applications. It would also be useful to have knowledge about the basic functionality in IFS/Part Catalog, IFS/Costing, IFS/PDM–Configuration, and Project Cost Element functionality.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is one and a half hours.
This chapter is designed primarily for project coordinators and project managers.
