Workshop

Introduction

A PDM workshop is offered by AEGOR-ProductdataBank B.V. in which students can experience in their own process environment what PDM is, what it means for their process and how fast PDM functionality can be learned and adapted. After the workshop people can also better calculate what PDM can mean for the company.

The workshop exists of a standard case with a number of roles, like: Client; Project manager; Discipline managers; Engineers etc. The case will be discussed and the roles will be distributed over the students. By playing the roles the case will be performed. With a workshop on location roles can usualy be played at students own workplace. This is conditionally to the availability of an Internet connection and the practical walking distance between teacher and students. Workshops are set up for ten to fifteen persons.

The workshop can cover a generic or a specific for the client developed case. The latter may lead to directly usable results but requests naturally a larger investment.
