This training program on engineering operations using PLM, CAD, and NPI systems is designed for operations-focused professionals in engineering-driven organizations. It addresses the challenge of translating complex engineering data into controlled, manufacturable, and release-ready products. Learners gain the ability to operationalize digital engineering workflows, manage design changes, and execute NPI with cross-functional alignment. The program uses system-level practices, real operational scenarios, and applied simulations to ensure practical application.
