This case study details how Viking Range Corporation deployed CATIA for knowledge-based design and ENOVIA SmarTeam for collaborative lifecycle management across multiple engineering sites. The implementation automated engineering change notice workflows, enabled a cabinet configurator that increased daily design output from 5-7 to 50 items, and created a single source of truth for BOMs and drawings between Mississippi and California teams. Results include 75 percent faster ECN processing, zero cost from outdated parts, and 50 percent reduction in custom cabinet design time.

Key takeaways

ENOVIA automated ECN workflows cut approval time from 25-30 days to 5-6 days while doubling monthly throughput

CATIA knowledge-based configurator enabled 50 custom steel cabinets per day versus 5-7 items manually

Single PLM platform eliminated $250,000 annual cost from manufacturing parts based on outdated documentation

Cross-site visibility between California and Mississippi teams ensured consistent BOMs and change data

Reusable modular designs allowed 500+ products and 250 accessories developed in under two years
