Challenges Before KRYSTAL DMS
As Bajaj Auto's Two Wheeler Division expanded its engineering collaboration across internal teams and an extensive supplier network, managing technical documentation securely and efficiently became increasingly complex.
Engineering BOM Approval Process
Managing approvals for Bills of Materials (BOMs) across engineering teams involved multiple stakeholders, making it essential to establish a structured workflow with complete visibility into the approval lifecycle.
Supplier Collaboration
More than 500 supplier organizations needed a secure platform to exchange engineering drawings, technical documents, specifications, and other confidential product information with Bajaj Auto's engineering teams.
Document Security
Engineering documents represented valuable intellectual property and required strict role-based access controls to ensure that suppliers could access only the information relevant to their projects.
Version Control
Engineering teams and suppliers needed assurance that everyone was always working on the latest approved revision of every document.
Centralized Knowledge Repository
The organization required a single repository to securely manage engineering documents, making information easily searchable while preserving organizational knowledge for future product development.
Visibility and Auditability
Tracking document submissions, approvals, revisions, and supplier interactions was critical to improving accountability and maintaining complete visibility throughout the engineering document lifecycle.
Transforming Engineering Collaboration with KRYSTAL DMS
