Custom Engineer to Order Solutions Configured Faster

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor wanted to automate the proposal development for their custom steam turbines and compressors to make it more efficient for their application engineers. Rulestream allowed them to input all the information into one single tool. And, with rules managed within the same system, and they could get then generate the proposal output from the same system.

The first benefit Rulestream offered was a reduction in Mitsubishi’s proposal lead time. Previously, they relied on Excel-based tools for designing the compressor and putting proposals together, but each of those tools were independent and didn’t adequately talk to one another. This lack of synchronization added complexity to the process as well as the element of human error. By introducing Rulestream and its process automation capabilities, they were able to provide proposals to customers much faster than ever before.

Another important benefit of Rulestream was the ability to centralize rules and knowledge base into one system. Regardless of the engineer’s location around the world, they are able to readily access the company’s standards as well as their protocol for handling special requirements. Rather than depending on the Japanese headquarters to always help with proposals, Rulestream allows Mitsubishi to support proposal development effectively from different locations across the world.

Many other industries including machine builders use Rulestream to streamline their engineer to order processes.
