People in Process Composer

A team of people creates, runs, and manages simulation processes and data in Process Composer.

The default configuration of Process Composer assumes that the following people are collaborating to create and run simulations:

Designer

The designer uses experiences to instantiate simulation processes and simulation activities that were created by the methods developer. The designer uses PLM processes to create and modify a simulation process and its data. They run the simulation processes and collaborate with team members to arrive at a design that satisfies performance requirements.

Methods Developer

The methods developer is the local Process Composer expert. The methods developer creates experiences of simulation processes and simulation activities that capture the best practices of their company. These experiences are used by the designer to create new simulation processes and activities. The methods developer also defines the attribute groups and parameters that are used in a simulation process or activity, although the designer may change their values when they instantiate an experience. In addition, the methods developer configures the applications and connectors that are used by a simulation process.

Administrator

The administrator installs Process Composer and defines the PLM environment that will be used by the designer on a daily basis. For example, they define the users and their roles along with policies and lifecycle definitions. The administrator also defines the machines and applications that will be used during the execution of a simulation process.

Many of the administrative tasks are performed when Process Composer is installed; however, the administrator must also perform routine maintenance and administration. The Process Composer Administration Guide describes how the system administrator installs and configures Process Composer.

Attributes Administrator

The attributes administrator can create an attribute group that a designer can apply to simulation processes, simulation activities, experiences, or documents. After creating the attribute group, the attributes administrator adds attributes to the group.

Manager

The manager reviews a simulation process that has been run by the designer along with the data generated by the process. The roles of the manager is to advance the lifecycle state of the simulation process or its components. The manager also provides other users access to simulation objects to which the manager already has access.
