One of the benefits of CES is that it provides sourcing and
manufacturing information to the designers and engineers.
This information can be used
during development to determine which parts already exist within the
enterprise and are readily available, and which need to be created.
To decide which part to use in development, it is often helpful
to compare the attributes of similar parts. To compare the attributes of
two or more parts, access the Sourcing
Compare window by selecting the desired items in the
Sourcing Search Results
window and either (1) right-click and select
Compare Items in the contextual
menu, or (2) click the Compare CES Items
button in the CES toolbar. (You
can also access it by selecting two or more items in various tabs of the
Item Details window.) You can also compare the geometry of two items in the Sourcing Search Results window. For more information about this, refer to Comparing Catalog Item CAD Info. |
